Comments Thread For: Investigation: The WBC will evaluate bringing back same-day weigh-ins

[RuleOfTheSpear]

thank goodness

[steeve steel]

to be fair > yes he bends his own rules, abuses his own ranking system but the WBC has started a few initiatives to improve boxing - and those few things are mora than the wba and wbo have ever done and the ibf has only ever introduced 2nd weigh-in 10lb limit

Sulaiman just cleared Matthias for ped use. lol

About the only sensible thing he's said in his life and it's correcting his fathers mistake, how ironic...

[Smash]

the wbc will bring in same day weightins for all their cheating belt holders, no wonder some boxers hold the green belt in higher regard, its a free pass to pedsRUs

Same day weigh in 15 round fight. That really separated the men from the boys.

Please do it. I'm saying this since years. Making weight 1-2 hours before the fight will not enable them to cut weight and rehydrate to have an advantage which when it comes to saftey is not an advantage.

But you need check in weight ins for that if not you might have a cancellation while fans already sitting in the stadium : D

Top ten recent de-hydration exploits
Crawford at 135
Haney at 135
Broner at 135
Zurdo at 168
Ortiz at 147
Navarette at 122
Ennis at 147
Ryan Garcia at 135
Mikaela Mayer at 130
and likely Rafael Espinosa at 126 - how a 6ft1in guy cn make 126 is beyond me - I'm 6ft and never weighed close to 147 even when 20 yrs old

agree with all guys except Rafael Espinoza, he is super skinny unhealthy skinny similiar to Fundora. People think this is an advantag but actually it is not if so you would see more boxers being only bone and skin but usually if you that type of skinny you have no strenght or cardio let alone energy left in your body.

These two (especially Fundora) are just special and it's in their genetics to be skinny like that and still strong it is kind of their natural body type just look at Fundoras sister she is exactly the same as him. I don't believe that these guys cut a lot they dont look bigger just taller.

But another guy for your list is Jarett Hurd dude was huge for his weight and his whole style was built around it no skill just absorbing punishment by being bigger

Maybe you are right about Espinosa and Fundora. I thought to include Fudora for the same reason - but I haven't noticed that either of them look lik ethey have blown up 2 weight classes when they fight.
Hurd - haha - I also thought about him too. He had a massive frame at 154, bit like Ennis at 147, but I can't recall how much he weighed in the ring - but I liked to watch him fight - you knew you were getting a fight when he was in the ring. But yeah, using your face for defence has a short shelf life - ask Joe Joyce.

As a side note, imagine if Golovkin and Hagler had bothered to cut to 154 in the early part of his careers - but they knew what they were - no favors needed
