No sympathy for him. He's the champ, make the weight. two fighters missed weight. Do Bronx is trying to say they had an issue with the scale that they were given before getting on the unofficial scale. Doesn't seem like anyone else had issue making weight. 3 out of the 4 championship fighters made weight. I hope he gets knocked out tomorrow. I like him too but he's missed weight 5 times in his career. Blaming the scale is a joke.
