KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Demystifying that Lucas Matthysse is having a hard time gaining weight, coach Joel Diaz maintains that Argentina is just two pounds in a day before the official weigh-in of the Fight of Champions Saturday morning, July 14th.
Diaz insists that weight has never been a problem since her pupil weighed only a few pounds in recent weeks when she trained in Indio, California, and arrived here last Thursday. For the fight, not the weight, "said Diaz.
For Buboy Fernandez, head coach of Manny Pacquiao, however, weight is an important component of the Pacquiao-Matthysse fight for the Welterweight World Boxing Association crown. If the champion has only two pounds more, after watching Argentina go to the sauna Tuesday night, Fernandez think Matthysse will still put on weight.

"The training is to make sure of course that I am overweight.I am doing enough to keep my weight because most of the work was done during the camp," said Matthysse. it's about keeping the weight and tweaking the plan, I'm resting a lot and I'm sleeping well, I'm at peace with my mind right now. "
The same can be said of Pacquiao because he is sure to take weight.
Pacquiao weighs 145 pounds the last two weeks and Fernandez wants the world to eight divisions
The day of the fight, however, Fernandez thinks 148 to 149 pounds would be ideal for Pacquiao
