Strikeforce weigh in results for 'Lawler vs Shields' event on June 5

by Jesse Holland on Jun 5, 2009 2:19 PM EDT

The official weigh-in event for Strikeforce: "Lawler vs. Shields" took place today (June 5) from Al Hrabosky’s Ballpark Saloon in St. Louis, Missouri.

It was a rather pedestrian affair with no real fireworks with the exception of several intense staredowns between most of the main event participants and even some of the undercard fighters.

Perhaps the only other noteworthy item is the fact that Mike Whitehead waited until the end of the proceedings to hit the scale, and just squeaked in at the 206-pound mark.

Here are the complete Strikeforce: "Lawler vs. Shields" weigh in results:

Main event:

182 lbs. (Catchweight): "Ruthless" Robbie Lawler (182.75) vs. Jake Shields (181.75)

205 lbs.: Kevin "The Monster" Randleman (204) vs. Mike Whitehead (206)

Under card:

175 lbs.: Josh Baumgartner (173.5) vs. Jesse Finney (175.75)

Damit homie! Call Directv and tell them you want to try Showtime for a month, they might give it to you for free.

by JV on Jun 5, 2009 2:33 PM EDT up reply actions

Fuck DirecTV, bunch of lying, cheating criminals.

by PW on Jun 5, 2009 3:10 PM EDT up reply actions

DAM PW! I havent had a problem since I got service.

by JV on Jun 5, 2009 3:41 PM EDT up reply actions

Most people either love it or hate it. When I cancelled they sent me to collections for the receivers that they said I didn’t send back. I had all the proof that I did send them back, so it got dropped, but not until after 3 months of fighting w/ them and hassling.

by LJ on Jun 5, 2009 3:53 PM EDT up reply actions

Same here JV, I have had a great experience with direct TV

by James S on Jun 5, 2009 4:18 PM EDT up reply actions

I had great experience with Direct tv until my dish had problems Took them 2 weeks one time and a week and a half on another problem to come fix it. I was without cable for 2 weeks and they wouldnt even give me a break on my bill. I switched to Dish and havent been happier Its cheaper better service as well

by lokie on Jun 5, 2009 5:48 PM EDT up reply actions

You can upgrade to showtime on saturday and on monday you can cancel it and it will cost you a couple of bucks.

by Adam on Jun 5, 2009 4:36 PM EDT up reply actions

So glad to have Showtime. Just ten dollars extra a month for a card like this plus all those movies. Looking forward to see Diaz out box Scott Smith!!!

by ajttu on Jun 5, 2009 2:50 PM EDT reply actions

$10 for the month is a sweet deal, here in canada it costs $39.99 for the Pay Per View. Although if there was ever gonna be a card worth buying this would be it, Damn! 6 Solid Fights

I 100% like this card better than 99. I’ll be streaming 99 on my computer, I don’t do that too often!

well good for you!! its not like working for comcast is something to boast and brag about…but then again, only charging $25 for all services for employees seems reasonable since they pay so shitty.
