  • He said Tug was looking a little chubby and then Colbert turns around and needs overtime to make weight. Damn!

  • absolutely no excuse for weighing in heavy, colbert knew he had to weigh in ,there should be a fine for the first weigh in coming in overweight, sorry thats how I feel

    • .2 lbs got you all worked up like that?? It could be anything: the scale, a sip of water, etc… . As long as he comes back at the correct weight in 2 hours, then there doesn’t need to be a fine. Another clown “fan” that hates the athletes. Boxing “fans” are the most punitive and unforgiving lot of any sport.

      • hey clown hands, I’ve been a hardcore boxing fan for 55 yrs, how about you kid

        • Low level hater, always looking to criticize the fighter, kid misses weight by two tenths of a pound and you go off like it was a tragedy or something.. relax, the kid made the weight.. UFC fans uphold the fighters, promote their worthiness, forgive losses.. boxing fans still call undefeated 2 division champions prospects and criticize guys for losing 2 or 3 times in 10 years. 55 years my a**, hater looking for any reason to berate.

    • Mostly the fault of all these junior weight classes-they are really lightweights with limit of 135 in the weight class.
