Does the rehydration weight limit apply to Davis as well?

Im more interested in what time is the second weigh-in, if its in the morning it wont do much at all as he will continue to hydrate right up till fight time.

Oh well then just eliminate weight classes then, yeah? Let everyone come in at their best, no one has to make weight anymore.

That’s a dumb argument.

They compete in the same weight classes(s), limiting fighters to how much they can rehydrate to is a joke. Boxers make the weight the day before and then can rehydrate as much as they want between that and the fight. That’s how it’s been for 99% of fights since same day weigh ins ended.

It’s a new concept and I’m unsure as to why you’re defending it.

These rehydration clauses are a very bad thing in terms of fighter safety, and should be banned by commission's as they defeat the purpose of day-before weigh ins cc which was to ensure the fighters were adequately rehydrated. If the fighter makes the contracted weight, he's made the weight and that should be enough.

True I don't like it at all should be banned as you say, but again it depends on the time of day how much of an effect it has, in the morning it pretty much has little to no effect but if its late in the day its a big handicap that does cause safety issues.

There is a rehydration clause for every single IBF title fight - you can't weight in more than 10lbs than you did at the weigh in. You may not know about it because no one ever has an issue with it. Davis is asking for a similar clause to what you would see in any IBF title fight.

Marquez demanded a rehydration clause against Bradley - no one batted an eye. Canelo regularly demands rehydration clauses, and got one against Jacobs and Kovalev.

I don't think I saw a single thread about the Marquez one and almost nothing about Canelo.... but when it's Davis asking for one, the subject is completely dominating all boxing discussion online.

Why is that? Because they're desperate for Davis to lose.

This ******* sounds like entitled Canelo with his rehydration bull**** clauses.

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'.

They know exactly what they're getting by doing all this. Americans and Mexicans are not fighting opponents that are ready to go. They duck them and wait, hoping they get themselves into trouble before going there. There'll fight bums that are on offer or those who are in difficulty already while they wait. Just check out the consistency of both those nations and their opponents.

If they fight opponents on a level playing field, they will lose like they always do. They want to create a perception that they're the best but are clearly not as they wouldn't be doing this en mass otherwise. Americans forced Mexicans into this by giving them an inferiority complex by beating them all the time. Brits forced Americans into this very same position for the same reasons.

Get every known Mexican and American you can think of and look how long opponents have been out of the ring when they face them. Look how many are coming off losses. Look how many want an opponent when they look like shlt in a previous fight. The same identity is there non stop.

They're cheating cowards who have no shame in how much they're degrading and humiliating themselves. It's basically going after fighters on life support. Haha. Fans in those countries will defend it because they know the advantages on offer. They're deeply insecure. They need to feed their fragile ego's. They can't do it in boxing on a level playing field. No matter how much they don't want to face up to it. They understand greatly. They just hope no one can see what they're up to. But you'd have to be blind and ****** not to.

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.

True. But fanatics of these fighters will run smear campaigns against the ones not willing to have these conditions and circumstances put on them like they always have done.

This has been going on for decades in how it all operates.
