Surprised that Yamanaka didn't prepare accordingly for the second fight. I guess age and the psycological impact of knowing that you are fighting a heavier boxer took a toll.

Guys rehydrate 10 -15 pounds all the time after an official weigh-in. Nery a peep about it ( pun intended).

Yet Nery weighed only 8 lbs over the Batman limit at the secondary weigh-in on fight day.

I don't see him having any true advantage. The Mexican is simply better. And yes, Yamanaka has simply aged fast.

What's the Batman limit?

Well obviously it's the number of evil-doers Batman limits himself to fighting in a single day, so that his costume doesn't get torn to shreds.

I think it's about 118.

Damn spell check.

Yamanaka was already very lucky to win in his past few matches against others as well, I also predicted Nery to win last time.

The Moreno fight, both actually, the Solis fight (and both of them aren't really that superior either)

he kod moreno in the rematch and won almost every round vs solis aside from the knockdowns

if you mean showed vulnerability, i agree.

As Nery managed to cheat both times, it seems pretty weird to come to those conclusions.

First time he was proven to be a drugs cheat. Second time he was a weight cheat (& if you are somehow labouring under the delusion that ignoring the privations of making weight when your opponent has to isn't an advantage, riddle me this: did you think that Jose Luis Castillo become "simply better" after he refused to make weight for the rematch with Diego Corrales? After all, their first fight they went life & death, whereas the second time Castillo was much stronger & walked straight through Diego. ALmost as if... he had a strength advantage by not killing himself to make weight).

What's he up for next, sticking a horseshoe in his glove? Would that make him "simply better" than the next poor bastard he faces?

For me, Nery's gone straight to the top of my "Someone please give him a shoeing" list. What a fuckin' twat.
