after 4 meals and drinking water they are heavy on the scale.

Yeah it's basically all water weight. Plus once they weigh in they definitely have a good meal since they're so depleated leading up to the fight. Were you watching the Bute fight Saturday night too?

Not all boxers/fighters gain that much after a weigh in though. It depends on what you walk around at and what class you are fighting in. There are some guys that walk around at a weight that's upwards of 20 to 25 lbs over the class they compete in. So those are the guys that have to put on the plastics and and do HIIT in a fucking sauna... it sucks trust me.

What they do is deplete their body of everything a couple days before weigh in to make weight..If you notice a lot of fighters are way heavier in the ring compared to the weigh in..When Delahoya fought paquiao He was 10 lbs heavier than weigh in...
