Turkish jr welter Selcuk Aydin lost clearly to Viktor Postol Satuday night in Inglewood and trainer Robert Rolle feels there were many mistakes made in how Aydin made weight.
-Selcuk can make 140 lbs but not in the way he did it taking off a lot of weight in a short spam of time, you can´t win a fight that way. He was about 50% of what he had shown in training, says Rolle.
