2008 - The #1 & #3 finishers moved up from 125
2007 - The #1, #2, #3 and #4 finishers moved up from 125
2006 - The #1, #2 and #3 finishers moved up from 125
2005 - The #1, #2 and #3 finishers moved up from 125

That's an IMPRESSIVE history of success at 133 after moving up from 125. No reason to think that Ness can't do just as well.

Maybe if Big spent less time on trying to create contraversies on line and spent more time developing social skills, he might some day be as knowlegeble about girls

That would be a waste of time. Only losers "study" girls.

All depends on the individual athlete. Generally speaking, moving up = less strength, more energy (compared to bigger guys at the weight). The athlete's individual walk-around weight, reliance on speed and technique versus brute strength, confidence level and that stuff plays a factor... there's myriad examples of guys who did better at a higher weight, and at a lower weight, depending on how those factors balance out.
