He must have been way over if they cancelled the fight.

These kind of fighters need to move up in weight! If this isn't evidence of being a weight bully then nothing is. And also risking their health and taking a payday away from a contender. Some fighters would rather risk hospitalization than move up 8 pounds. The only exception is if the guy was not having weight issues and the heat drained him but can't see that as the case just because he didn't drink enough water.

No, specifically it was cancelled when he went to the hospital for dehydration.

Yeah, he might as well move up and chase a fight with Canelo.

Exactly, it’s surreal how these fighters now kill them selves to make a weight that is unnatural just to fight smaller men to try to get an advantage

Well two more middleweight belts will be up for grabs, not too many notable names but maybe someone will emerge from the pack of the unknown

Let's just get rid of MW for awhile until that division can get its **** together.

This division is already bad with Janibek in it. If he can't make the weight anymore it's an utter wasteland.

The older the fighter the harder it is to squeeze down in a short time.

Wanna be weight bully paying the price.Still amazed Benavidez can make 168 .Or can he ?
