he's an athlete, he's burning calories at an incredible rate due to muscle mass plus training. if he weighted in in the morning, maybe a little dehydrated, he could easily be 10 to 15 lbs lighter than his "normal" weight.
everyone fluctuates 5 or so lbs during the day, maybe more depending on diet (see: athlete).
in high school, my wrestler friends would weigh in for meets dehydrated and starved to drop into a different weight class, then they'd be 10 lbs heavier by the time they wrestled a week later. don't you think he weighed in at his lightest, maybe even did a little work to make sure the number looked good?
i don't know why 9 lbs is even a number being thrown around. he plays the game with 15 lbs of equipment on. he had a bad performance, maybe he has an injury, who knows, but 9 lbs difference is not a reasonable thing to be fixated on.
