Weigh in?

[remy]

Janer, Paul,
Anybody that went to the weigh in, could u post up the weights and any other info.

Stan The Man at 92.7 kilos. Lighter than he has been in years they said. He looked lean and in great shape. Gurkan at 86.3 kilos. Also looks in good shape.

Thanks John.

not exactly middle weight vs heavyweight.
6.5 kg thats stuff all. There is a little weight in it, but not exactly David Vs Goliath.

Gurkan was weighted with jeans and bulky shoes on. So maybe he is closer to 83kg. That's 10kg weight difference to Stan's 92.7kg.

I dont know why theres a big deal about the weight. Stan has given away up to 10-15 kgs away to people in his career. For Peter Graham he weighed about 95 and Graham was 105 I think. ANYONE who fights Mark Hunt gives away some weight as he weighs 130kgs! At these higher weights, its normal to give away some weight.

That's true. At higher weights they have no choice. But all the K-1 stars that give away weight are over 95kg which is super heavyweight. The point is that Gurkan has fought most his career as a supermiddlewight and will only weigh as much as a light heavyweight on the night.

The lower the weight the more important is the weight difference. I guess at the light heavyweight range it's still a big deal.
