This time I think he trained and drained....and there was simply no way for him to make the 135 limit.
That may well be possible. I just have the feeling traning came down to it and he didn't do what he could to bring it down based on the last fight and the weight issue. Even the fight Corrales pulled out of he was stuggling with his weight badly. I am on the fence with what happened. We will know more soon hopefully.
