Campbell-Guzman: Joan is Three-Pounds Over The Limit

[keepthemhandsup]

Regardless, I think fighters who fail to make weight for title fights should be barred from fighting for a title for 6 months on the first offense and a year for the second offense. A third time should be permanent exemption from fighting for that organization's belt.

Failing to make weight is the reason Castillo has to fight today, his disregard for making weight caused him great financial loss.

thats a little harsh..but i feel you....they shouldn't get a title fight for at least 3-6 months.....hell a year would do....i'm not sure on the third offense cuz most boxers should know their body weight limits.... i like guzman and want him to win but if guzman can't handle making lightweight...then he should just stick to superfeather or featherweight....

and good useing castillo as an example

[pigdestroyer]

Yes.

1K on Guzman for me!
1K on Campbell for you!

Sig'd. good stuff, mate.

3-6 months is the time fighters at that level take off regardless, no champions are fighting 3 months after their last fights, only prospects and contenders on the rise with good promoters. A championship level fighter is only fighting 2-3 times a year max anyways. Barring them from fighting for a title for 3 months isn't going to do anything to them.

If he can't make lightweight, he probably can't make 130 or 126 either. He needs to be dedicated if he's going to be contending for titles because this was highly unprofessional on his behalf.

Joan Guzman, you are the dumbest mother****er on earth. I have lost complete respect for you as an elite.

[gopi11]

depends on what type of weight it is. I bet the weight Mora carried was water weight which is easy to lose. If it is muscle weight then Guzman is in trouble..



How do those odds work? I'm not a betting guy really so i never understood them lol

It means Joan never even bothered to make weight, remember JLC vs. Chico II?

[edgarg]

why doesnt it mean nothing if Campbell wins??I like Guzman, but if he loses thats his pedo and shoulnt be fighting at that weight, Campbell would earn my respect if he won...

I was using the speculative possibility that Guzman came in deliberately heavy to have the strength advantage, perhaps win, but, since he'd still be unbeaten, and a top attraction, could make enough PR for a rematch at the proper weight, and, having the psychological advantage against the presently strong-minded Campbell, would then win 3titles.

A potential victory would depend mainly on Campbell losing, not winning this present fight............

What's not to understand??

[gopi11]

I can't beleve this! This was to be Guzmans coming out party on the world stage! What were they doing in camp,eating ice cream? Mayweather has got to take some of the blame for the weight.Unless Guzman turns up with an "S" on his chest,Campbell should take the fight.

I'm thinking the other way around, since Joan didn't even tried to make weight, that's a huge difference when your opponent is trying to starve himself to death and looking like a prune on the day of the weigh-in while here's Joan eating steak and lobsters and having his cake and eat it too. Just think along the lines of JL Castillo- Diego C. II, not very pretty...

Why on earth would Campbell give him a rematch when he pathetically disregarded the fight contract?

[El Dominicano]

Is it even possible to lose 3.5 pounds in two hours? I see that mora just lost 2 pounds in a half hour or so...........

No its not impossible. He better shadowbox in the heat room and avoid drinking water and try and take a ****...push mad hard, OH! and hmmmmmm

Let me think of more

[MJ406]

Why on earth would Campbell give him a rematch when he pathetically disregarded the fight contract?

that'd be an interesting scenario as sometimes rematch clauses are in fight contracts .. but do the same rules apply if the fighter fails to make weight and title belts not on the line? interesting case

agree completely on the fines and suspensions for failing to make weight. and plus fighters would take it much more serious, if they couldn't fight for a title belt for 6 months.
