Sameday weigh in's and Margarito. Why you are wrong!!!!

[JAB5239]

Yet you still can't show me one example where the so called weight advantage is a health issue and what the fighter weighs on fight night has nothing to do with the rules set forth by the unified boxing commision. those are your rules and you guessed it they don't count.

Gamache-Gatti. Why do you think Gamache never fought again and sued the NYSAC?

If you wanna talk economics let talk about everyday American's who go to their job's and get killed because of their employers ****ty safety standards. is it their fault they went to work to earn money for their families? 90% of boxers right now earn about as much money as your typical American and I'm a typical american when it comes to income.

90% huh? Show me some stats. Because almost every fighter I have ever met that isn't world class (probably more than 90% of them) hold jobs on the side to support their families because they can't make enough on fighting alone. You don't know ****.

Sure I never laced up a glove but I have worked everyday of my adult life so I have just as much in common with a club fighter as you do.
Just one question my friend. Whats more important? People being safe in a sport you love or people dying to make a sport you love perfect?

No, you don't have as much in common. I have fought. Have sparred with pro's. Know them and have hung out with them. I would never wish a fighter hurt. But if it has to happen I would rather see it done because one fighter tried to beat the odds rather than another getting hurt on an uneven playing field.

Ok name one fighter who would suffer from same day weigh in's?

Corrales, Castillo, Hatton, Gatti. Should I go on?

Day before weigh ins have been happening for about 20 years and there has been no death because of a guy being too big.

Death is already a part of boxing, severe injuries are as well, we don't need more deaths and injuries occurring in the sport, which will happen if boxing reintroduces same day weigh ins, just because a guy drains himself to make weight doesn't mean he deserves to suffer permanent damage.

Like I've stated, I don't wish harm on anybody. But did Gamache deserve the damge he incurred against Gatti?

The day before weigh in sells more PPVs. Throw the highlight on Sportscenter and it's free advertising.

Gamache fought Gatti at 140 which is Gatti's Natural weight class ******!!!!

And fighters holding side job's only furthers my point that they can't afford nutrionists and weight trainers so again WTF are you talking about? Bigger better fighters still hold the advantage in the weight game only in this one people ****ing die.

When it does happen? Day before weigh in's have been the norm for over 20 years and have not produced one death. 80+ years of same day weigh in's produced thousands of deaths. At the very minimum if day before weigh in's were any where near as dangerous they would have been the cause of at least a couple hundred deaths yes?

Name the "thousands" of deaths that occured before. And remember you did say thousands. I only say this because if you do I can point out a good number of ring deaths in the last 20 years, even as the number of professional fighters has declined. I'll be waiting.

No he didn't, but fighters don't deserve to get permanently injured or worse because of having to weigh in on the same day as the fight.

On a sidenote, Gamache had weighed up to 157 pounds in his previous 10 fights.

And Gamache did not suffer permanent damage as he said himself.

SM: Does the damage from the Gatti fight affect your everyday life? Was there any lasting damage such as migraines?

JG: Well I mean damage to my pride maybe. There isn’t much too really talk about on that. I'm doing fine, I feel good. It happened and that's it.

Like I've stated, I don't wish harm on anybody. But did Gamache deserve the damge he incurred against Gatti?

No but he did fight as high as junior middle several times before he fought Gatti LOL!!! He's also listed as a lightweight for your information.


Wow not one of your arguments holds any water LOL!!!!

[.Rogelio.]

Exactly... if you are 147lbs dried out like a crackhead... then maybe 154lbs is a more honest weight for you. A fighter should not look like a crackhead during any weigh-in.

A doctor should be present during the weigh-in and be able to say "Hell no, this guy is dehydrated go fight at 160lbs!"

Your hate is so disgusting. And pretty Ignorant. So let me inform you that doctors are present at weigh ins and fighters go through a full on physical before they step on the scale. Don't make yourself look so foolish next time.

I don't want to see anybody hurt. But who fault is it if they drain themselves? And who's fault is it if another fighter is allowed to come in 3 divisions higher?
