Darren Till is riding high on the biggest win of his career: a close, but impressive decision defeat of two-time welterweight title challenger Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson. Unfortunately for Till and his fans, the win does come with an asterisk attached.<\/p>\n

Not only do many fans and commenters feel that the decision should have been awarded to Wonderboy, but Till also missed weight for the bout<\/a>, tipping the scales at 173.5 pounds \u2014 three pounds above the 171-pound limit for non-title welterweight fights.<\/p>\n

Shortly after this fight, video surfaced that which showed Till struggling through what looked like an absolutely harrowing weight cut. In the video, Till could be seen crawling around on all fours, while one of his teammates claimed he’d lost his vision.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview with\u00a0ESPN<\/a>,\u00a0however, Till assured that he is not only still able to make the welterweight limit, but that his weight cut for his bout with Wonderboy wasn’t as bad as it looked. He was just a little off after visiting the hospital due to a family emergency that occurred in the midst of his cut.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t lose sight, I was just feeling dizzy,\u201d Till said. \u201cIt was five o\u2019clock in the morning and I was up all night and I\u2019d been back and forth to the hospital and then in the sauna. Obviously, the video makes it look a little bit worse but it wasn\u2019t in any way bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI can still make welterweight, that\u2019s for certain,\u201d Till added. \u201cYeah, it\u2019s put a little dampener on my win, but it doesn\u2019t change the fact that I beat the No. 1 in the world. If anything, I was worse off in the fight. I was at 60 percent because I cut weight wrong that night. I was dehydrated, I was weak, so I wasn\u2019t my full self, but I just feel like a bit too much of a big deal has been made out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for whether Till prefers the early weigh-ins or the afternoon weigh-ins:<\/p>\n

“It doesn’t matter. If it’s 9 o’clock or 4 o’clock, you make weight.”<\/p>\n

Do you think Darren Till should stay at welterweight or move to middleweight?<\/p>\n
