Rios is a JUNIOR MIDDLEWEIGHT tonight

[markfrombrookly]

This is ridiculous and boxing has to do something about this.. This dude Rios is almost a JUNIOR MIDDLEWEIGHT fighting against a guy that's not even a junior welterweight. That's why he's able to take the punches from Peterson and dish out even more in return. Boxing has to change these rules.

he aint close to a JrMW,

JrMW guys usual come in 165lbs>

Boxers gain weight after the weigh in oh my god!!!! This has never happened before!!!

[Spray_resistant]

Plenty of LWs come in at around 150 on FN just like plenty of WWs come in at 160+ on FN.

He made the weight and can fight there, maybe Peterson should have moved down since he didn't put on much weight at all.

[u.b.r.]

He made weight. What can they do?

I bet 1.45M on Peterson tonight. Rios came in at the weight limit. If he rehydrates up then kudos to his team. If you make the weight on the scales then it's a fair fight. IMHO.

That's the danger of the 24 hour weigh in. Limiting weight someone can put on like the IBF is ****ing ******.

Take away the 24 hour weigh in, it'd be better and a lot of fighters would be forced to move up if it happened.

You should learn your weights because 165 is close to SUPER Middleweight. Junior Middleweight is 154. Middleweight is 160. Obviously you don't watch too much boxing.

A HBO hypejob that Max Kellerman was gushing over got exposed tonight.
