HBO fight night weights are UNOFFICIAL

[RodBarker]

And my point is, fight night weights are totally irrelevant. Making the weight the day before is the rule. If certain fighters finds it unfair that others balloon up in weight to much after the official weigh in, then I guess those fighters should fight at a lower weight class.


This new fight night weight was only brought up because of Floyd and Floyd only. Personally I don't give a **** where he fights at. I see the writing on the wall of how he has managed his own career the past few years. I saw his bull**** and he lost me as a fan. Do I have an agenda against him? No I don't, but I will speak out about it.. What I do not appreciate is some elements in here targeting those who speak out against Floyd with some underlying targeting by trying to spin an: Agenda, closet racism, or other bull**** in an attempt to give someone else a bad reputation. I see right through it.

The Mayweather guys know I respect them as individuals. I also don't try to berate anyone on here. The game they tried to play though was disgusting. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. It was exposed on here a while back where the Mafia were trying to target individuals in here and BN was one of them. It was because he had a different opinion then them. Big ****ing Whoop!.

And my point is, fight night weights are totally irrelevant. Making the weight the day before is the rule. If certain fighters finds it unfair that others balloon up in weight to much after the official weigh in, then I guess those fighters should fight at a lower weight class.

HBO fight night weights are not irrelevant how can they be when thats the weight they fight at !!
HBO weights must be somewhat very accurate to be admissible in court in which they were for Gamachi vs Gatti case .
Your use of day before weights as a rule that over rides the weight they actual fight at in discussion is flawed logic

Thats total bull**** , weight has always been an issue with boxing , its not just about Floyd thats very narrow minded its about all fights that were fought at catchweight because catchweight is about the weight difference between fighters , Pac and Floyd are on top now and in the news , off course they will be the focal point of weight discussion when somebody bigger is trying to fight them , always been the same whether its Leonard or Armstrong weight is always on a fighters agenda


Have a read its an interesting article .

The Duty That the Commission Owes to All Boxers Under Its Jurisdiction

19 NYCRR § 206.5 provides, in relevant part, that a representative of the Commission “shall have complete authority, subject only to the direction of the commission or a higher-ranking representative of the commission acting on behalf of the commission, over all phases of the weigh-in[.]” At the same time, 19 NYCRR § 210.6 states that “all participants shall be weighed in on scales approved by the commission and in the presence of their opponents, the matchmaker and representatives of the commission, unless otherwise directed or authorized by the commission.” Reading these two provisions together, it is indisputable that the Commission is the ultimate authority when it comes to a weigh-in, but at the same time partially delegates the witnessing of the weigh-in itself to other parties, the opponent and the matchmaker. Despite allowing other parties to witness the weigh-in, however, the New York Code of Rules and Regulations appears to create a duty to make certain that the weigh-in was properly conducted in accordance with the Commission’s standard practices and procedures.

The duty owed by the Commission is heightened by a third provision, 19 NYCRR § 213.14, which provides that “[n]o boxer shall participate in any contest or exhibition following weight loss of one percent or more of body weight within 24 hours prior to such contest or exhibition, unless otherwise authorized by the commission.” This provision would seem to indicate that the Commission has a proactive duty to investigate whether a boxer had to lose weight by extreme means prior to the weigh-in to get to the contractually agreed upon weight for a given fight. The duty is further heightened by 19 NYCRR § 214.8, which indicates that a bout should not be permitted to take place between two junior welterweights if there is more than an 11 lb. weight differential between them.
