Comments Thread For: Ryan Garcia Comes In At 144.9 Pounds For 2nd-Day Weigh-In, Gervonta Davis Weighs 144.1

Can anyone explain how it is humanly possible to gain 10-15 pounds within 24 hrs? Are they really just that dehydrated?

They're as dry as they can be for the official weigh in, although allegedly Ryan had breakfast before his weigh in yesterday. But yeah, someone of Ryan's frame can probably gain 8-10lbs of water weight alone. Remember he's probably eating more carbs now and that will help with water retention.

Protein + hydration. It's not that hard when you're young and on a controlled diet with workout.

Fans deserves a fight that doesn't just look like a classic on paper.....but one that actually plays out like a classic when Tank and Garcia gets in the ring.

LAS VEGAS - Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia made weight late Saturday morning for the second time in less than 24 hours. Garcia and Davis both came in below the 146-pound limit for their second-day weigh-in, which was held behind closed doors less than 10 hours before they'll fight Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena. Both boxers are free to add as much weight as they want from the time of their second-day weigh-in until they enter the ring for their Showtime Pay-Per-View main event.

85.00 US...jesus...if only there was a way to watch such fights through things like Youtube for effing free.

That is more than a day's pay for alot of boxing fans, this isnt tennis.

they need to get rid of this friday weigh-in nonsense and move everyone up a division. i feel like we would get much better fights if these guys aren't killing themselves to make a weight that they won't be anywhere near by the time they get in the ring. i would think they'll both be above 147 by the time the bell rings.

all of these guys should have fight night weights done so we can end this guy is small this guy is too big etc

Rehydration obviously wasn't an issue for either fighter. So no excuses regardless of who wins.

Yes. They are that much dehydrated. Some dehydrates to a dangerous level.

The only way to gain 10-15 lbs (or more) in 24 hours is to use IV’s. That’s the only way. Ethical or not.

You cannot conclude that at all.

Yes I can and I did. So did Garcia's father and Ryan himself. It's clear that making 146 wasn't a problem for them. That's good enough for me.
