How the F*** is Chavez allowed to fight in Mw, SMW, when he's a CW fightnite

during fight night? SEriously what the **** this should be illegal, PEOPLE SHOULD BE FORCED to go on the scale and no rehydrating more than 10 pounds I agree, there should be a rehydration limit and I can't remember which ABC body it is, but has brought that rule in now. However, the truth of the matter is, the vast majority of sanctioning bodies allow all sorts of rehydration with no limit, so what is he fuss? We have welterweights these days coming in as middleweights on fight night, why does no one complain about that?

He definitely cuts more weight than the average boxer, I think most cut from 5 to 10 pounds, but as long as there is no limit for re-hydration it will keep getting abused by some fighters. I wonder why basically all mma fighters cut at least 20 pounds and most boxer cut very little or nothing at all. I suppose size may matter more when you are grappling.

Making weight?:haha::haha: dude's 30 pounds heavier than his opponents every time he fights.... Which means he had to completely dehydrate himself going through the torture of making weight. One day he'll show up for a fight with slow reflexes and get battered, I'm for same day weigh ins, but it's not like JCC Jr. is cheating.

This is how it works. You train and run and lose weight to make 160 or 168 and then after you drink water, eat and rehydrate over night. Then you fight . Make the weight. #boxing#

I think a standard rehydration clause would be nice.

Making weight?:haha::haha: dude's 30 pounds heavier than his opponents every time he fights.... Dude there are weight classes. Not rehydration classes. Hiw hard is that t get? According to your logic Floyd should be fighting at middleweight and PAC at JMW. Mikey Garcia and Gamboa should be fighting at welterweight and carl Froch and Andre Ward should be fighting at cruiser weight.

Making weight?:haha::haha: dude's 30 pounds heavier than his opponents every time he fights.... If you make weight then what is the problem? I fully support destroying fighters verbally if they don't make weight, but complaining at guys who make weight legally is petty at best. Blame the commissions and sanctioning bodies. Not the fighters.

It's called making weight. Making weight?:haha::haha: dude's 30 pounds heavier than his opponents every time he fights....

Once was a time when the weigh in was the same day as the fight. Then the system was rarely abused. When it was changed to previous day weigh in, many fighters took advantage of it and discovered they could dry out and get away with fighting at a lower weight as long as the rehydrated over night. It is a dangerous practice but the advantage of fighting a smaller fighter has benefits in spite the risks.
