We don't know if he actually was told he made weight though, everyone would say that if it was just 0.2lbs. As for the 0.2lbs, the rules are the rules, he knew them when he signed the contract, it's only fair they strip him if he fails to make weight, regardless of by how much.

basically overweight by 3 ounces. I can clear that much by blowing my nose in the Nevada desert.

Sure sucks, but you gotta follow the rules. What happens next time when a boxer comes in .2 over? what about .3 or .4?
