    Weigh-ins or fight night weights.

    I personally believe what fighters weigh on fight night is more significant than the day before, I dont agree with fighters weigh in at 140 a day before then 155 on fight night.

    Which one do you agree with more the fighters weight at the weigh in or the fighters weight on fight night???

    I agree to a limit, if its just say 5 pounds maximum I wouldn't be bothered but 15-20 pounds is too much.

      It has been exploited too much now.

        I agree that fight night weight has much more importance to the actual outcome of the fight.

        Although I will say it is fair play if you can make 147 (or any weight) and balloon up because that stuff catches up with most fighters.

          I agree with you on this because the purpose of weight classes is to ensure fair competition in the ring during the course of a fight.

            I like it the way it is. It would give fighters approximately 36 hours to rehydrate before the fight. If it is changed back to fight night weight, it doesn't solve the problem of fighters still having cut weights... and they will do it to gain an edge.

                5 Pounds would be perfect and normal on fight night but i doubt it would be implement in boxing for all the obvious reasons.

                Thats the saddest bit at the moment, The way its been exploited is just way over the top at the moment and i wish something could be done about it.

                  Fighter dont need to rehydrate up to 20 pounds if they are fighting at their right/normal weight.
