Arum Says Oscar De La Hoya Will Make 147 Easy

[edgarg]

Question, does Oscar have to come in at 147 on the weigh-in day, or on fight night? I recall reading somewhere that the contract is for Oscar to come into the fight weighing no more than 147.

I asked the same question about a week ago as I'd read that The Roach had said just that- that if deLaHoya weighed more than the stipulated 147 on fight day, the fight was off.................. BUT..........The Roach has been sticking his nose in here and there and everywhere, and mouthing off all sorts of things. Probably likes to see his name in print. And, being Manny's trainer, with Manny listening to every "golden" word dropping from his ruby lips, I'm sure that he has a feeling of power that a trainer normally wouldn't have, and regards himself as a sort of diplomatic rep, much more than a hired trainer on a percentage, large though it is.

Very likely Oscar will need to make 147 on the day before, or 30 hours before or whatever the local regulation is.

As for Arum saying that Oscar will make i47 easily, this is exactly what I said the other day, several times. Oscar was 150 a couple of months ago, against Forbes, recent photos show him very lean, and he wouldn't agree to 147 if he felt any doubts about making it.

$3 mill per lb would be the same to Oscar as $3 mill per ton....his life's blood.....money.....Oscar would never take the chance of losing any, although, for PR purposes, he may suggest that he's having weight troubles, and then arrive past the post in top shape.

Win, lose, or draw, Oscar's money will be safe.

arum is really trying to sell this fight even though the tickets are selling great... some people might not buy because they feel oscar can't make 147 and roach says the fight is off if oscar can't make 147.

The Roach has been known to frequently say "more than his prayers"..........

Anyone got recent pics of the 'thin' Oscar ? I'm interested to see him.

I really doubt that dlh is already at 149.. He was at 151 after training camp against forbes and the fight was supposed to be at 150. Now there saying that he's already at 149 and the fight is 2 1/2 months away!!!!.. I think this is a scam to make people stop worrying about the weight issue.. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm just sick of oscars bull****!!!. For the record, I do believe that dlh will
make 147 the night of the weigh-in

No doubt DLH makes weight...he is a disciplined fighter...he should be able to make weight no prob...it's not like he is Fernando Vargas!!! LOL any one know wut ever happened to that chump?

mayorga sent him into retirement

I believe that Oscar will make weight but dont go lying that he currently weighs 149. **** no he does not. I weigh 150 and Oscar looked bigger than me last saturday. He kinda looked a bit bigger than the forbes weigh in and he didnt even make the 150 limit that day.

I think it's always better to lose the extra weight before a fight, but if he can stay around 147 for the next couple of months, and eat regular that is good too. I hope Dlh doesn't over train for this fight. I'd have Dlh on a healthy Carb/starch diet though. Potatoes, potatoes, potatoes, but at a controlled level lol.
