I don’t think he wanted to make it. Matter of fact pretty sure he didn’t. He is 26 years old. He made it for Berenchyck cause he wanted that belt. I would have not been that hard on him if was 1/2 or 3/4 lbs then we know he tried.
He looked ripped & healthy at the weigh-in. He didn't look like someone who was killing himself to make weight the night before & that morning. Him flexing like that too.....I think he blew weight intentionally like you said knowing he was moving up & the threat level DLS is

Yupp, that and it's a lack of focus. On the Andre Ward interview, Ward asked Keyshawn like, "You sure fighting in your hometown in Norfolk doesn't cause a big distraction and make you not focused?"

Keyshawn scoffed at it and said he loves it. Ward was right :francis:

I usually like Keyshawn but this is some fukk shyt, reminiscent of Ryan Garcia intentionally missing weight before the Haney fight or when Lemos missed it before the Keyshawn fight.

DLS should just pull out and generally harsher punishments needed to be imposed in cases like this so fighters might learn to not be this cynical in the future. They won’t learn it if they have to pay only a fraction of their purse as a punishment but the fight still goes forward and them not bothering to make the weight end up aiding them in winning the fight.

The public backlash would be important too but neither Ryan Garcia nor Lemos faced much of it, even though Ryan used PEDS too to top it off. So based on this anyone can think they can pull this extremely unsportsmanlike cynical fukkery.

Didn’t look drawn at all. He had weeks to get down also. He could have done it this time then bounced. I worry about the politics at 140. What fight would be easiest to get made?

PBC is where it's at when it comes to the volume of names at 140. That Belt is the ticket to force peoples hands.
