    The fines are enough, NO suspensions! If a fighter is sick leading up to the fight then he will rehydrate to help with his recover and thats when he can ballon up away from the contracted weight! Your not going to let a flu symtom take your weight away you must rehydrate! If you saw the GGG comparison all fighters walk around drinking constantly when their sick.
    As to the out come of Mikeys fight he could have weighed 115 and beaten that guy! weight had no baring on the out come!!! Talent and skills did!

      When fights are signed, certain stipulations are agreed upon. This includes ha agreed upon weigh for the weight in. If a fighter comes in overweight why should he/she not be suspended? This fighter failed to meet the stipulations on the contracted agreement. A contract which is a binding agreement between both fighters.

      Allowing the fight to continue after a fine is just a cop-out in order to ensure profits. The end result comes down to two fighters in a deleterious matter. One of which is at a disadvantage due to weight controversies. I say, cancel the fight and suspend fighters. Too bad.
