Devin Haney rehydrated to 165 lbs

[Cypocryphy]

Its not organized like a sport, its more entertainment business than anything. Devin is being pushed as which he is one of the young stars of boxing on the break out so they'd make sure he could get away with things other fighters couldn't.

Now that FN 165lb weigh in? Was that fully clothed? makes a big difference if we don't know.

Why would they allow the fighters to wear all their clothes before the second weigh in? This weigh in is an official one, done in front of the California Athletic Commission for a second time. It's not done in his hotel room or done casually. You go in there and step on the scale without shoes and your trunks on.

And hypothetically, if he had his clothes on, with his shoes and everything, that's only five extra pounds at most.

Yep, Clottey, Cotto, P. Williams, Chavez Jr and many others rehydrated 20-25 pounds as well.

This is boxing folks. You can rehydrate to whatever you want after making weight. Those are the rules. We should be praising this young potential future Hall of famer instead of pissing and moaning about how much he eats and drinks after doing everything by the rules and making weight.

I'm honestly not shocked. Look at Devin's frame! He's by far the biggest of the young guys and will probably peak out at the highest weight, if his lack of power doesn't severely handicap him.

This reminds me of when Clottey fought Corrales I think and he allegedly weighed in at 170 the night of the fight. I also recall them saying he was fully clothed when he was weighed. I'm hoping that's the case with Devin because 25lbs is sick!

The both came into it at 149 pounds. Maybe Clottey was 151 pounds. Then they had an unofficial second weigh in where Clottey was wearing jeans, and he came in at 170 pounds.

Corrales tipped the scales at 149, so Clottey had to drop two pounds. But on fight night, Clottey showed up at an unofficial weight of 170 pounds. Clottey claimed after the bout that his jeans raised the reading, but it’s doubtful that his wardrobe caused that much of a malfunction.

Definitely hitting that drip line. Drip lines have been used for awhile now. It's not something just within the last several years. And I suppose it showed in the ring because Clottey kicked the bejesus out of Corrales.

Its an unofficial weigh in, and fighters have been clothed for those on HBO when they had boxing. He doesn't have to weigh in a second time if he doesn't want so we really don't know since there is no film.

The report stated that it was done before the California Athletic Commission again.

Devin Haney weighed in at 165lbs on fight night for his win vs Regis Prograis, according to the California Commission.

Its still not an official weigh in and what if the fighter just say no? 25lbs from 140 sounds like alot and in one day? from just drinking water and eating? hard to believe.

He's fookin massive at jr. welter!!

Hatton would be proud

...and Haney has the dimensions to actually put on the weight better than Hatton. No wonder Haney wants to move to 147.

Tank fans making excuses not to fight. All of sudden Devin is too big now.

But apparently 5'8 Canelo is ducking 6'2 Benavidez.

I don't understand what you're saying anymore. It doesn't make any sense.

First, it's an official weigh-in. Why would you think the Calfornia Athletic Commission would conduct another weigh-in for the hell of it? I'm just going to assume you don't know how this process works, so I'll explain it just as the CSAC explains it. This comes the California Athletic Commissions website:

1. The official weigh-ins may take place on two separate days or one. The day before the event and or the day of the event.

2. Participants of a bout must BOTH weigh-in on the same day and during the scheduled weigh in time.

oIf weigh-ins are scheduled for 2 separate days, one fighter cannot weigh-in on the first day and his/her opponent weigh-in on the following day. BOTH must weigh-in on the SAME DAY!

3. EVERY Fighter and Trainer has the right to witness their opponents weigh-in, ALWAYS!

4. Weigh-in time windows are to be no more then 2 hours in length.
o Fighters who miss this weigh-in "Time Window" will be scratched from the event unless

a valid explanation/reason is given to your Event Representative as to why they cannot make the weigh-in window.

5. The weigh-ins must be conducted by the CSAC Event Representative ONLY at a place and time agreed upon by the CSAC Event Representative & the Event Promoter.

6. Prior to the event weigh-in, the scales weight must be confirmed by the CSAC Event Representative with the placement of a 10 lb fixed weight (Provided by the event Promoter) to assure its accuracy .

7. All Fighters must weigh-in.
8. Fighters cannot wear more than, Shorts, Shirt and Socks. (No pants,jackets, shoes)
9. Fighter must weigh-in at the weight agreed upon in matchmaking.

​

This event had the fighters weighing in on two separate days, the first being 30 hours before the fight (as is the law in California) and the second being the day of the fight. As you can see at section 8 of that statement, when it's before the commission, you cannot wear more than shorts, shirt and socks.

And by the way, I don't know if you're read through the thread here or my original post in this thread, but Devin is not rehydrated by drinking water. Prograis rehydrated by drinking water, but that's not how Devin rehydrated.
