Comments Thread For: Second Weigh-In: Bute 177.4-Pounds, Miranda 177.2

[*2TOUGH*]

wat a ****** rule!!! IF both fighters make weight the first time, but on fight night the fighter weights 20lbs more and wins, thats a testament to the fighter.. so what if its unfair on the other guy.. sometimes people need that extra weight to win.. thats how fighters dominate.

******

some people can't help how much there bodies rehydrates. to put a fighter under a second wiegh-in stipulation is un heard of and ****** you are *****g the fighter under to much unneccessary pressure and stress and you are doubling the stress on the body. I bet you that was bute peoples doing to try to secure a win to bring in a weak miranda.

They're about the same weight after the weigh-in.

Nope. It's an IBF rule.

1.B. Timing of Second Day Weigh-In
There shall be a second weigh-in on the morning of the event. At this weigh-in, boxers cannot weigh more than ten (10) pounds over the weight limit. If a boxer weighs more than ten (10)pounds over the weight limit, he will have two (2) hours thereafter to make the prescribed weight. If after two (2) hours he still weighs more than ten (10) pounds over the weight limit, the fight can proceed only as described below.

I guess the first weigh in was not a safe one. Thank God they had a safer one this morning!

trying my best to make sense of this post

using that logic shouldnt we just have 1 weight class and not bother with this "fair" business where 147 lbs wimps make millions pounding each other?

I don't see the big problem, basically the IBF says you have to weigh in at your class, you get to gain 10 overnight, you get to gain what you can the day of the fight

One step away from the ideal which is just same-day weighins

[AceNguyen]

This is the Arturo Gatti rule, right? It's to make sure guys don't pack on 25 pounds for the fight. It's flawed, though...there's still plenty of time to rehydrate after the morning.

[AKATheMack]

They should do another one after the fighters enter the ring just to be super safe.
