Comments Thread For: Joshua Franco Still Over 115-Pound Limit, WBA Title At Stake Only For Kazuto Ioka In Rematch

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Joshua Franco and Kazuto Ioka both entered their first fight as reigning junior bantamweight titlist. They will now enter the ring for their anticipated sequel as former titleholders. San Antonio's Franco was forced to relinquish the WBA 115-pound title after failing to make weight for Saturday's rematch versus Ioka. The bout will still proceed, with only Ioka eligible to win the now vacant title atop an Abema TV Pay-Per-View event this Saturday from Ota-City General Gymnasium in Tokyo.

There is no excuse for that, he’s a professional, he knows better, and had more then enough time to train, he should have just said look I can’t make the weight rather then looking dumb stepping on that scale 6 pounds over,I mean what’s the point, it’s embarrassing smh

[KING S.O.G]

Very unprofessional

[Regge]

They already robbed Franco in the last fight now his dumbass goes back over there for more....what an idiot.

He's not his brother nowhere near as good but he still beat ioka the first time and got screwed no excuse for stupid.

That’s not professional, it’s a bad look for him and Robert Garcia.

Hate to agree

[MesicoFistology]

This is a very bad look on Robert Garcia. Robert praises this kid a lot and he can’t even make weight. Bad look on us Mexicans too smh very unprofessional. Let tank and Broner do those silly things

Very unprofessional and, unless there are strict limits on what Franco rehydrate to can come fightiime, I don't think the fight should have been allowed to go ahead. He's two divisions heavier FFS!

[Brother Mouzone]

Surprised , Franco did not make weight …..6.2 lbs is egregious…

[Stiff-Hard-Jab]

That's a really poor showing from Franco. He didn't come close. it's very similar to Shinsuke Yamanaka vs Luis Nerry.
