      Well hi there, Willie Monr...

      Oh.




      Whatever, it's still a re-run.

        The Ruckus podcast reported last week that Wade got his tether off and has been sparring with J-Rock & Kyrone Davis in Philly for this fight. They also said he ballooned up to 200 lbs between this and the Soliman fight.

        He could surprise us with a big punch on Gennady, or go down quick without a fight. Unlike Monroe, Dominic has a bit of pop, exactly how much we're unsure. He starched Marcus UpShaw who's got a decent chin, but he's also struggled to find his rhythm in other fights. Even if he's competitive I'd expect him to gas in this fight. He's been inactive and way out of shape. Also this is the first time in his career that he's actually cutting all the way down to 160!

          No, turns the're going to have to fight in his font yard. He's getting the grass cut as we speak.

            I heard Wade negotiated with the department of justice and will have his ankle bracelet changed to a toe tag.

              Woohoo

              Another bum of the month added to GGGs thin resume.

                So he had to cut 1/5 of his body weight for this fight? Even over 8-10 weeks, isn't that unhealthy?

                  Probably. Could also mean he's going to rehydrate 15 or so pounds and be 175-180 in the ring. He does have some decent power so maybe he wants to be the bigger man. That could certainly backfire though too and he can fade fast, it all depends on the fighter. Hatton for example cut even more weight than that and it worked fine for him until the end of his career.

                    At least he's getting some money in his pocket I guess. Going from working Firehouse Subs to getting 100k should put a smile on his face.
