WBC super welterweight champion Ricardo Mayorga and Oscar De La Hoya both weighed in today at 153.5 in advance of tomorrow night's PPV showdown. Kassim Ouma and Marco Antonio Rubio both scaled in at 153 for their undercard bout, however Joan Guzman must lose 1.5 pounds in the next two hours for his bout against Javier Jauregui. Also Jorge Paez Jr. tipped the scale at 136 against Lowell Brownfield at 135.5.
I thought Guzman got hit way too much but maybe that was just his showboating. I was kind of hoping he would get humbled Vivian Harris style the way he was prancing around and insulting his opponent.
I can't believe that Guzman came in with a 9 lb weight advantage on the night and never tried anything other than arm punches.
I don't know anthing about the man or his character, but was he maybe not willing to take an unfair advantage?
That was my first viewing of Guzman and i am even more gutted the Harrison bout was cancelled, Guzman looks to have a lot of quality. I think Scott would have been in serious danger of losing, imagine Guzman running round him popping in body shots and flashy combinations all night while Harrison stalked forward. His weight was an issue last night though, can't believe he came in 10 stone 8 pounds allegedly, he didn't look that big to me but can't argue with the facts.
Just on a side note, i have never seen so many fat people in a ring after a fight in my life, i'm surprised they had room for the ref and the announcer! That geezer in Guzman's corner was huge! And so was the guy in the brown suit, probably a fight supervisor or something.
guzman won't stop jauregui though cos he's a tough old git.
