Putting the blame where it belongs: George Lockhart and his Bro-science “calculations“

[Deleted member 196663]

For those that don’t know the backstory, his supposed expertise is why this fight was even accepted. He supposedly ran all the numbers and determined the weight cut was doable. And now Max’s team are trying to blame the officials who only intervene when it becomes dangerous.

Can't help wondering if this was in Vegas if the fight would still be going ahead.

He also mentioned how the cut would be significantly easier than they thought when Max got off his flight 10 pounds lighter.

NYAC are a bunch of pussies. I bet anywhere else he would have been fine.

 

[Parang]

It was the commission, maybe it wouldve been an easy cut, and New York just doesnt know what the fuck theyre talkin about

 

[KB Warrior]

Max could have been 190 pounds and Lockhart would have said it was doable. The guy thinks he’s some sort of genius. The fact is its just not healthy to cut massive amounts of weigt no matter how much of an “expert” someone is.

Clen is a helluva drug

Footage of Lockhart running the numbers.

Most likely. The NY commission is known for being careful. I remember when they almost cancelled Cotto vs Margarito 2 the week of the fight and Bob Arum had to threaten to take the fight to Texas.

How is it not Max' fault? He's the one who signed the fight. No matter what his team are saying to him he should know his body.

yeah ask Canelo (putting on more muscle but somehow having easy weight-cuts).

Are they the same experts who think it's too dangerous for Felder to get the title shot because his ranking?

George Lockhart said RIGHT from the start that there was a chance Max wouldn't make weight. And he would put a stop to it if at any time he felt Max's health was in danger.

I don't know why people are surprised.

Easily, NSAC is waaay more experienced with this. Not to mention all the backroom transactions that would have taken place to ensure that.

Same with jones and his easiest cut ever

.. pops for coke

If it was in Vegas we'd at least have A fight, not sure if it would be Max or Felder though

Almost unquestionably

At the very least Felder vs Khabib would have been allowed

Hell they probably would have let Chiesa fight with all the cuts

No, he said right from the start the weight cut is doable. That’s why the fight was accepted. The “anything can happen in life” excuse is complete bullshit.

max was at 159 with tons of time to keep cutting and him stating he had lots left him in to go. The commission stopped it

Nutritionists are quack snake oil salesmen.
Dietitians are medical professionals.

If you're being advised how to cut weight by a quack then it's hardly a shock when it goes to shit.
