Darren strips down for his weigh-in!
One needs to keep in mind that no matter how much training or how much preparation one has put in pre-fight if you don’t make the weight… you don’t get in the ring!
In fact, when I arrived at SMD Group Ballito there was a feather weight running around the block in an attempt to sweat out some of his mass just so he could make the weight!
Ain’t nobody got time for that
So when I did the weigh-in (in socks in undies) I myself was very surprised to find out I was overweight
Personally I think they must have logged me in under the wrong weight category
Anyone who has seen me knows that I am a perfect light heavy weight specimen
So I stripped down…

Ready, steady... Strip!

The Doctor tells Darren he is over-weight! And to lose the pants!
First layer - off!
Second layer - off....in an attempt to meet weight requirement!
Still too heavy - so Darren called for his own scale! Applause as he makes the grade!!
