''Olympic boxer Gary Russell Jr. was found unconscious and severely de-hydrated'' Friday after returning from a last ditch effort to cut down to 119 -We wrestlers sometimes forget we are not the only people cutting weight -I know very few 20 year old men who weigh 120 pounds -perhaps it is time boxing took a look at their wt. classes .

Add MMA'ists and jockeys to that list of guys who share the honor of cutting weight as well. Toughest thing I've ever done. I generally have no compassion for when someone misses weight, but if you pass out like this boxer did, you've earned my respect for giving it your all.
