    Fightnews said DLH made the 150.

    Jake over at b-scene reported the 150.5

    Jake went by what actually aired during the live weigh-in, or at least what appeared on the HBO.com feed.

    Oh wait, I'm Jake. WTF am I doing here? :dunno:

    A release from Golden Boy suggesting Oscar made weight is hardly confirmation that it actually happened. But anyway, that's where FraudNews got their "news"

    he's mad because there's more people at the weigh-in than there were paying customers for his fight two weeks ago.

    It's worth at least a 100K for Stevie, he should threaten to do that.

    It could be "Half Pound" vs. "Two Pound"

    Jake is all knowing, all seeing. Someone need only utter Jake's name with their little typing fingers and he is there within moments to show off his omnipresence.

    Is Jake a superhero?

    Is Jake a God?

    We only know he is The Jake.

    Glory be to The Father, The Son and The Holy Jake. Amen!!!!

    That, or he has a network of spies like The Shadow.

    Either way, I feel safer knowing he's out there.

    Poor Stevie Forbes. He probably had to put rolls of quarters in his pockets just to get up to 150. This is Laila Ali vs. Christy Martin all over again. :nono:

    If it turns out that way, and I'm not convinced it' is a DLH-Gatti type beatdown, hopefully it will get stopped a little sooner.

    I know Martin accepted the fight, but that was really shameful match-making.

    Ali's a super middleweight and Martin had to pack on pounds just to be 15 pounds above her normal fighting weight.

    I don't think it will be a Gatti type beatdown. Forbes is too sound defensively and Oscar is older now. But he's going to have a hard time getting Oscars respect with his punching power.

    I'm very impressed that Delahoya still manages to drop down to 150 at his age. Now if Only Tito were able to drop to 154:crafty:
