There will be a size difference in this fight, even though Lee is a good-sized middleweight. It's ridiculous the TX commission allows this to happen, and it makes Chavez even harder to beat.

Lee is not a slick boxer. Yes, he has solid skills and was once considered the next big thing out of Kronk. However, a couple years Troy Lowry was putting right hands on him. Lee is very hittable, and that size and the combination of Lee eating shots all night will wear him down. Lee has decent power, but I don't see it keeping Chavez off of him.

I just don't see Lee winning this fight. He won't outbox Chavez, as Chavez has just as much length as him and has enough skills too. He won't outmuscle Chavez, because Chavez is going to be 185 pounds in the ring. This will lead to Lee trading with Chavez, but not getting the better of the exchanges. There will be some close rounds, but I see Chavez winning a clear 116-112 type decision. This will be a good fight though, and both guys will have their moments.

Does he make the contracted weight limit the day before the fight?

If so, what does his ring weight have to do with anything?

Actually BBS, you are on point there. I am not sure that there shouldn't be a max weight clause IMO. The main reason is for fighters safety on both ends. Gaining that much weight in a 24 hour period is really bad for a fighters body and it isn't good going into a fight weighing 20+ lbs heavier than you are!
