Who Belives Rjj Weight Lost Effected Him!!

[dpfinley]

Of course losing that amount of muscle weight will affect a fighter... it would affect an average person. So many of you are out there to critisize his performances after that HW fight without thinking about the science behind it.

And also, those who bash him for not fighting the best in the lightweight division, think of a big-name superstar in that class who Jones avoided. There is none...that division has been dead for years. I'm not even a big RJJ fan either.

It was twenty five pounds, and it's a legit claim. He lost all the weight in about a month's time and when you do that you lose fluids that your body needs to function. That's what ended up debilitating Gerald McClellan, along with the fact that since there was no emergency medical team on hand he was lying on the mat unconscious for about three times as long as he should have been.

Dr. Cynical, you're an idiot.

How was it 25 lbs?

200 at HW down to 175 at light HW, or am I wrong?

RJJ official weight against Ruiz was 193 lbs, as oppossed to his official weight against Tarver which was 175 lbs for a difference of 18 lbs. For HW you don't have to starve and dehydrate yourself in order to make weight, so did RJJ actually come into his LHW fights at 175 on fight night? Or would he starve and dehydrate himself in order to make 175 lbs, and then go up in weight the day of the fight? I think we are looking at more like 5 lbs difference instead of 25 lbs.

Roy just got outworked and lost the damn fight. Im not sure if he's done, but He has to redeem himself if he does comeback.

I don't know what he was wearing for that weigh in though. It could have been a Corrie Sanders weigh in where he was in his clothes. Either way, even if you are right, we are looking at a 10 lbs difference which is closer to 5 lbs than to 25 lbs.
