The finding
What remains unresolved
Robert reports losing 7.4 kilograms on the day of his final welterweight cut, about 16.3 pounds. The linked first-person interview confirms difficult, dehydrating cuts before he moved up in 2014, but does not supply that exact amount or day. It supports the broader experience, not independent verification of this number.
