Okay, so I’ve been trying to figure out Errol Spence Jr.’s walk-around weight. It’s not something they just announce, you know? It’s like a secret they keep, but it’s important for understanding how much these guys cut to make weight for a fight.
I started by looking at old interviews. You know, digging through YouTube and boxing forums. Some people were saying he walks around at 170, others were saying close to 180. It was all over the place!
My Research Process
- I watched a ton of his fights, trying to see if I could visually estimate. That’s tough, though!
- I compared him to other welterweights and how much they say they walk around at.
- I read every article I could find, even the really old ones, hoping for a clue.
It’s kinda frustrating. These guys are so disciplined, so it makes sense, I get it, they are professionals. Then I realized something. The closer to a fight, the more secretive they get. So, I focused on finding info from way before his fights, like during his off-season.
After all that, I think he probably walks around at 165-172 pounds. Maybe even a bit heavier sometimes, it is not easy to keep your weight so stable. It’s a lot of weight to cut down to 147, man. It shows how dedicated these fighters are. I don’t know how they do it!
Ultimately, It’s still just my best guess. But I feel like I got pretty close after all this digging!
