Comments Thread For: Devin Haney, Vasiliy Lomachenko Make Weight For Lightweight Title Fight Saturday Night

Then they should have let the fans know "We're doing an early weigh in with no cameras or reporters, and the one we televise is going to be fake."

There's zero point watching a fake weigh in IMO.

I agree with this.

Fight card officially starts at about 3 p.m or 4 p.m., which is when this pretend weigh-in is scheduled. You just might be the first guy I block for being too annoyingly dumb.

You're annoyingly a fan boy and if you block me it's only because I expose your lying ass and you can't take it

[Stebs]

If they already did the one that counts then what is the issue?

I have no idea what the issue is, they both made weight and the fight is official, maybe the guy who started the thread doesn't know how the weigh ins work...

if devin is making things a bit more comfortable for him then hes the champ & he makes weight for the fight

hes not affecting loma in any way who im sure is not too bothered by the whole thing

trying to squeeze every pound off can also backfire on people, i think teo went too far and he ended up close to death (or so he says), its all good until something goes wrong, it only takes a few %'s in the ring to swing a result

[Teetotaler69]

why no public weigh in?

It's honestly odd. Maybe because it was surprisingly early?

Good point. If Haney screws himself, that isnt on Loma.

Too many people seem so preoccupied with stuff I don’t see how they can enjoy the fight.

Ok. He made 135 next try right.

Not sure. If you feel that way fine. All he has to do is make 135 at the weigh in.

Yeah the angle here is Haney is the champ. Other champs have done similar things as the champ.

I dont see the issue all of a sudden.

I don't feel any way, that's what they did. I don't profess to be an expert like so many others so maybe I'm ignorant to the fact that this goes on all the time but the way I read it it seemed like something special where they did this extra early weigh in. I expect this sort of thing at heavyweight, and as much of a bell-end as I think Wilder is even I thought it was a bit unfair that Fury had like 40 lbs on him, which he obviously used to full advantage. But this seems like a bit of a mismatch size wise in an actual (and much smaller where it makes a bigger difference) weight class that has a limit. I'm not a fanboy of one or the other, just nice to see an even fight. I understand no one held a gun to Lomachenko's head. I'm betting they WON'T be announcing their actual fight night weights as they step into the ring lol.

i honestly dont even know what time they normally take place at so cant even comment really

it was just a bit odd reading its taken place and not seeing any vids or photos, but maybe thats just the way this one is reported, someone will clear it up im sure at some point

Ok. I do believe Haney will rehydrate to be much larger than Loma, same as Salido was.

Happens all the time.

You may be right about the weights. Im not sure Haney will let espn know.
