I predict Zayas comes in overweight for his fight against Boots

I see Zayas balooning up to 164, at the bare minimum. I don’t think he comes in close to 154 on fight night. Just wait and see at weigh in he misses weight…

Why would Zayas do that? This is a fight he has taken against the best challenger in the division. This is a huge fight. No way does this happen.

i think he makes weight but will rehydrate big time. i posted a video in the fight thread i think about him saying himself (i think he was talking about a possible devin haney fight) that he might rehydrate to about 180

here’s that vid

Doesn’t make any sense to me either. He has no history of doing this. Also, he’s not gonna go out of his way to accept the biggest challenge possible… talking about wanting to build his legacy… only to miss weight.

Wouldn’t be shocked to see him struggle but doesn’t strike me as the ‘blow it intentionally for a huge plus and eat the fine’ type of nonprofessional. Safe to say not just Zayas but Boots are already plotting for 160. Stamina late can be a huge factor on both ends.

yup. he rehydrates. he is going to want to stop Boots…
