Weighing The Weight Issue

[hectari]

If you don't let them put that water weight back on they could get serious brain damage in a fight.

Same Day Weigh In would pretty much separate the boys from the men and also force fighters to go to the weight divisions they truly belong in or risk losing a lot of money or risk going into a fight drained

but if nothing is being done about it then it will only get worse, some middleweight will eventually reach 200 lbs on fight night and maybe a fighter gets seriously injured because of the rediculous weight difference

yup

deaths and brain damage is a fair price to pay.

Yep, weight is now a huge issue since Pacman and Floyd became the face of boxing. All of a sudden guys are too big for weight classes whenever they decide to move up, lol.

in my opinion it shouldn't matter its the fighters job to figure out his most effective weight, if his opponent is cutting lots of weight then he's giving up speed and stamina, but has more power its give and take

[brick wall]

just don't go up to a weight where you think posssible opponents are too big for you. depriving fighters of fluid intake hours before a fight is a complete nonsense and dangerous.

Yeah well go to your Proper weight class then you won't have to worry about all of that. You won't have to kill yourself trying to make a weight class you don't belong in...or how about staying in shape YEAR AROUND!

it should be at a catchweight then, stopping a fighter from rehydrating properly is too dangerous

brain fluid is not important.

what's important is everyone weigh the same.
