WBC Will Start Same Day Weigh-Ins Starting July 1st

Jose Sulaiman reveals a new WBC rule scheduled to be implemented on July 1st universally. A weigh-in at 9.30am on the day of the fight will permit the fighter a maximum of 10% increase in weight above their specific weight division.

Yea it is a useless rule. It does nothing. Sulaiman is just trying to be slick. Acting like he is doing good but he isn't doing anything at all.

lol to JCC jr

Not really, think about it...It is not 10 pounds it is 10% of the weight.

JCC Jr will weigh 160 the day before. Be, 176 at 9:30am and then will still have an extra 12 hours so to put on more weight.

It is a useless rule.

It should be 10 pounds like the IBF and instead of 9:30am the weigh-in should be more like around 5pm.

That rule would make a difference.

they should...lil guys like henry armstrong dfintely benefitted from this for climbing weight divisions not allowing there opponents to have decent size advantage over them

[duasto]
