IBF rehydration rule explained for dummies for the... 150th time.

I don't see Dany fighting any one at 175...His natural weight* Or super Middle either. Never liked a cheater! how is it cheating if 99.99999% of boxing is cutting 20-25 lbs in camp? If a guy can cut 100 lbs and put back on 50 after the weigh in(I know it's not possible) then let him. It will eventually catch up to him..

if i was fighting that night i would want a sleep in! seem's a bad setup to me, baffling as to why the org's can't come up with a sensible solution to this, the reason must be they just don't care to I don't know anyone that sleeps in on the day of a big fight, even the best most experienced have anxiety even if they don't show it, they rest up for the day may be a small light workout to loosen up, although a lot will have an hour or so nap late afternoon.

The IBF has a second weigh in, the day of the fight, yes. BUT, it's in the early morning. It means that the fighter cannot weight more than 10 pounds than the contracted weight at that moment. Then, for the rest of the day, they can keep rehydrating. Examples? Lemieux rehydrated to 175 on fight night vs Golovkin, after doing the weigh in at 170 in the morning. Example of how can it affect a fighter weight and/or performance on fight night weight? well it's rumoured that Lemieux was 178 against Stevens, when he didn't have to follow that rule. The worst part for me would be to be forced to wake up early to make the weigh in... why don't they allow fighters to sleep until they want... Its grand-stranding by the ibf because with over 12 hrs still to go to fight time it doesn't mean much, if they were serious it would be inside 2 hrs from the fight.

You fail to mention that the IBF doesn’t have a second day weigh in for Unification Bouts. Put it all there, as a matter of fact put their writing on the wall, not yours. :cool:

Haha I don't have a better one, but this is just a basic rundown of info that everybody knows, I was expecting some insight. Not everyone knows this, this is why I made the thread. Some people think that the IBF rule means that you cannot weight more than 10 pounds the weigh in weight, on fight night. Which is not the case.

Post YOUR explanation if you have a better one, fool. Haha I don't have a better one, but this is just a basic rundown of info that everybody knows, I was expecting some insight.

Post YOUR explanation if you have a better one, fool. You could just post a link to the actual IBF documents showing this.

this is such a weak explanation lol you put it in your sig as if it were a be all end all guide to the rehydration clause Post YOUR explanation if you have a better one, fool.

He was way up there! WAY WAY UP THERE! That's why Oscar had the weigh in with a morning weigh in!! For his Golden boy! He brought Danny the cheat by having him weigh fairly!

It's stupid to believe Jacobs was 190... He was between 175 and 180. 180 to fight 160 seems to me he’s a weight bully that belongs at 168

It's stupid to believe Jacobs was 190... He was between 175 and 180. Danny was already 176 at 8am on the day of the fight. I'm thinking he weighed around 182-184 in the ring. The weight gamesmanship was a major part of Jacobs' whole plan. https://www.******.com/489972-victor-conte-speaks-daniel-jacobs-fight-weight/

Didn't they get rid of the 2nd day weigh in for unifications?

Why do they allow dehydration in the first place? If they prohibit dehydrated fighters at weigh in, we wont have to bother about weight gain post-weigh in.

So Jacobs can’t weigh 190 this time It's stupid to believe Jacobs was 190... He was between 175 and 180.
