    The scales dont lie, Whether they're sanction by the WBC,IBF,HBO its still a scale and the numbers on it doesnt lie even though its not 100% accurate.

      Do you know why it's called unofficial weight.

      Because when they weigh in, that's the official weight. Hence why it's called unoffical weight. Don't you find it embarrassing that we have LHWs fighting for the WW championship

          What exactly is the meaning of un official anymore, especially in boxing. So much is it becomes to the point it's meaningless. A lot of things can be constreud un official in boxing these days, half of the time they're more reliable then so called official.

            Yup, not official... but still accurate, none of it is made up and it still shows you what they are weighing on fight night.

                    I don't get why there's a debate going on here. HBO even says that their scales are unofficial on fight night.

                      Yeah but a lot of times they weigh themselves with cloths on.
