........by 6lbs ahead of his Commonwealth scrap with Adamu????

Is this true? Seems a massive amount to miss it by. I've only just heard this in passing BTW.

Heard it was nearly 7lbs mate he looked
Like no fat on him as well sounds crazy wondering how true it is

Sounds like his scales are knackered at home by the sounds of it.

He must be mortified.

Too much weight training and high protein diet built too much lean muscle

IFL haven't posted any footage of the weigh in for Fielding or any interviews with him...

No, the weigh in is there. 12 stone 6 he comes in as.

It's like the Joe Gallagher interview. He said some controversial stuff in it and it immediately gets taken down. Seems like IFL are almost acting as the media wing of matchroom even though they're supposed to be neutral.

That goes beyond taking the piss - are weights stipulated in contracts ?

According to the video Adamu weighed 11 stone 12 and Feilding 12 stone 6 and 11 ounces.

So, there is a 9 pound weight advantage today - Fielding didn't look to be holding weight so what will be the weight difference come fight time ? got to be over a stone ?

What would happen if Adamu had weighed in at 13 stone - he would probably have been sent home without a penny and a load of travel and hotel bills to pay.

That can't of just been an issue with the scales either. A pound here or there you could put down to that but not that much.

It would be unlikely that Adamu's scales at home were coming in half a stone too light !

Joking apart, this is very dangerous. Feilding could easily weigh a stone or more than his opponent tomorrow night.

I assume Fielding has been stripped and its only on the line for Adamu or..........?

So will he be stripped of the belt ??

Wonder if he really struggles to make weight in the past. Looks like a move to light heavy then and no Paul Smith fight :-(.

Thing is I bet Matchroom were keen for Rocky and Callum Smith not to cross paths which could have happened soon.

Think its Adamu 11st 12lbs
Rocky was 12st 6lbs

Eddie didn't look best pleased.

He was just saying how Murray didnt deserve a shot at Crolla and that Crolla should be getting a world title fight in his next fight, etc. Nothing major. Anyway, the next thing you know, the vid has been taken down.

It was on the IFL channel all along, while you were trying to make out that they wouldn't put something up that put one of Matchrooms' fighters in a negative light.

It wasn't on there at the time I looked, the original link came from the Matchroom Boxing channel, the video on iFL was only put up a couple of hours ago, wasn't there earlier.

I am asking because after listening to Murray I still could not gauge what the beef is about. Would like to hear the other sides.
