Does Tank always have tough weight cuts? He looked lethargic there. Sat down when he got on stage then looked imbalanced during the whole ordeal after.

I've always gotten the impression he's lazy. He just lets off that vibe.

Interesting point.
He should be fighting at 130, that suited his size and frame IMO, and at 130 he had real power.
If you see him between fights, the tubby little bugger blows out- a lot.
I can only guess, but it looks like an easy 150+ just going by his shape.
I'm sure quite a bit of the focus at his training camps must be cutting poundage. And last fight he wasn't so great, a little sluggish until his power helped him out- but that was in my view - against a better opponent.
Even if he is a little drawn, I doubt Rolly will trouble him too much, but ya never know. :maybe:

Romero himself acted like a cocky dork before he got pushed. Both of them look like idiots, their attempts to trash each other are lame.

Probably be more fun if you have a spare $75 to roll it up really tight and jam it in your pee-hole.

I think Rolly is durable enough to last the distance. Tank is going to beat his ass nonetheless!

Ramos looks at least 1 weight division above his opponent.

Commentary is spot on. Lara has been a flat-footed fighter since around the time he fought Hurd. Still, he'll be too much for Spike and is hitting him at will.

The 7th was Spikes best until he got hurt in the last 5 seconds.
7-0 Lara.
