I have no issues with your passion, I like it! Okay, sure, perhaps I could have said "refused to cut the last few pounds", but given he can't really have refused to cut any weight (in which case he'd have come in about 15 pounds over lol), I figured it was a given. No worries!
I feel you about weight cutting being hard, no, I have never been through it, but I have plenty of acquaintances who have and yeah. Not fun. I perhaps should have acknowledged that earlier. I've also known several pro fighters who have cut weight with pretty serious injuries. One of my friends is a pro fighter who had a fractured collarbone, hid the injury (against all advice), cut weight, made weight, and then lost when his collar bone broke in half
Nasty shit!
