Comments Thread For: Tank Addresses Rehydration Clause: "He's a Bigger Fighter, Why Would I Not Have a Rehydration Clause?"

[ippo]

How is he the bigger man when you fought and won a trinket belt at 140? As far as I know Garcia has only been at 135lbs.

The very fact that Davis, can come out and speak like this? Shows you how the standard of competition in the lower weight divisions has negatively altered in this modern era of boxing.

The day before weigh in rule has created a entirely different culture in the lower weight divisions 'That never existed in past era's'.

The competition whether it is with the use of catch weights, re-hydration clauses or fighters weight draining themselves excessively 'All of this has devalued the competition and negatively effects the purity of the action'.

Davis is essentially admitting that he wants to purposely decrease Garcia's condition and performance 'And he does not want to fight him at his optimal best'

The lower weight divisions for me are a mess, I would say it is the most worst once you get down below Light Heavyweight 'It increasing then gets worst as you go down through the weight divisions'.

The toxic weight draining culture has not only been embraced by many fighters, it has also been accepted by many boxing fans 'Where they think it is normal and standard, and a behavior that has always been apart of boxing' I am telling you, it has not to this level ever been a part of boxing culture.

It is a completely modern phenomenon, that has increasing intensified under 'The day before weigh in rule'.

Fighters and even boxing fans I honestly don't think? They know what they are watching or competing against.

I have stated this before, the modern day weight draining culture is a toxic 'And it is a modern phenomenon which is endorsed and highly promoted by the day before weigh in rule'.

Note: This is still a good fight and great match making. But I don't think any titles should be sanctioned, it is just a fight in my opinion 'The re-hydration clause is completely unnecessary'.

"I'm just a lil we baby doe".....it's cool,atleast we all now see who has/had doubts about this fight all along.

why does tank have all the $$$ tho?

He puts asses in seats!

[IronDanHamza]

What ridiculous logic.

How many times have Tank been the bigger guy? Where was your rehydration clause?

Barrios was bigger than you, did he have one?

You're 100% correct, and don't worry, there are no belts on the line for this fight!

Did Tank give a rehydration clause to Leo Santa Cruz, Hugo Ruiz, Hector Garcia, or Yuriorkis Gamboa?

No?

Shocking.

Ryan is an adult. If he agreed then its Tank's advantage. What were his promoters doing? No point crying on something both parties including promoters agreed. Ryan dint need to take this fight but may be he saw something just like Mikey saw with Spence.
