At 5' 11" I can tell you that 139lbs is just rail thin and he had very little muscle left on his frame. That is just taking in consideration his height. Anyone thats been around weight divisions long enough will tell you that 5' 11" at 139 is flat out skinny, or at 149 for that matter is pretty damn light.

He mentioned that his opponent at 139 was smaller and he felt much stronger then him there are reasons for that he was taller cut down to 139 and got tossed around the ring because he killed off his strength and power getting down to too light a weight division while shorter guys kept their muscle and strength.

Hang around fighting in weight divisions long enough and you can tell from height, weight, when someone is not in the best weight division based on their size.
