Crushing weight
Here's something odd: Crush's weight is usually listed at 141 pounds, but in the screens of her they flashed before joust and pyramid in the finale last night, she was listed at 155! Another production error, or did she manage to gain 15 pounds before the finals? (In her MMA career, I believe Carano is somewhat known for having difficulty making weight.)
They've used the 155 figure throughout the show on those profile screens. I doubt very much that she was 141 pounds on the show - that's Shanay's weight and Shanay looks like a tentpeg next to Carano.
Thanks; that makes sense. I hadn't paid that much attention to those screens before. 155 does sound more realistic: 141 is more like the weight she barely makes when she's cutting for a fight.
Heh you're right on with that tentpeg comment frank. Crush is the second biggest Female gladiator on their so I didn't really think she would be 141. Hey does anyone know where to find any of her fights on the internet? Cause I can't nor can I find anything else on the matter of her fights.
well, they're hard to find because naturally the companies that own the rights to those fights want them taken down, but you can find a handful with a Google search: http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=gina+carano+vs&sitesearch=
Here's part 1 of her fight vs Julie Kedzie: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=273...
Crush looks bigger than last season. Not a bad thing, just an observation. She's still hot but probably a bit more than 155.
She also looked taller, but she battled shorter women last episode.
I read an article recently that said she just tried out for the 140lb weightclass, and was over by 6 pounds. She's going to fight, but she'll have to pay a penalty fee I guess.
Not that her weight really matters. She's been kicking butt on Joust! She's a lot of fun to watch!!
A great link for Gina is here ginacarano.proelite.com. Also you can see her weight in for a May 31 fight where here offical weight came in at 144.5 lbs. Fairly responable drop for her as she is not as ripped as the other female Gladiators, but I must say a she has a much more feminine body.
