This will produce fewer champions with less belts, upping the value of a champion. It will also make guys fight at the real weight, not this re-hydration crap which is not safe.
Imagine that.
5 judges lower those bizarre decisions what crop up ALL THE TIME and the reason is clear, corruption and giving the W to who u are supposed to give it to if at all possible, thats wrong
3 ringside 2 in enclosed rooms watch on TV with no sound
sensible idea with the fight nite weights for some reason the sport doesnt seem to do sensible on this issue???? as for 15 round fights i would wonder what the fighters think of it and leave it up to them mayb e
15 rounds only for championship fights
The 10lbs fight day rehydration rule (that IBF have for their championship fights) should be made mandatory for every fight. Have a problem? Go up and fight at the weight you should be at.
why 10 pounds??? why not just fight at or very close to your actual weight so u get weighted before u get in the ring to establish this so no rehydration going on at all and no danger to health like so many say to pour cold water on the idea for some reason???? u over weight u pay a BIG fine per pound to your opponent that will sort that out pretty quick

Agree with everything except 5 judges.

Have basically said the same thing for years. Get rid of the "junior or super" weights. But for me straw weight would be up to 105, then follow the 10lb rule after that, up until cruiser 186-200, then heavy til 230 and super heavy would be 231 and above.
