Broner Vs Shawn Porter Finalized at Catch-Weight

[Kagami Taiga]

at MGM but should be in Ohio

MGM???? thats weak. the crowd in ohio would be electric

Rehydration clauses shouldn't really be permitted. You risk guys coming into the fight unrecovered from cutting and getting scrambled. A lot of the deaths in boxing have been linked to inadequate rehydration.

not really the point is to keep fighters from losing a ridiculous amount of weight and coming in too heavy fight night it keeps them from fighting at weights they dont belong in honestly it should be there for every fight

i dont know why people are so upset anyway now if broner pulls off the win you can discredit it

I don't know why porter would agree to the catchweight alone but rehydration clause

Watch your weight & what you eat to make the weight...once you make the weight you still gotta watch your weight + what you eat...that's ****** IMO. There shouldn't be any rehydration clauses at all, if fighters choose to rehydrate themselves up to 1-2 weight classes after making weight it's up to them. These guys kill themselves to make the weight, why drag on the misery till fight night?

Exactly my thoughts, he struggles to make 147 as it is & he agreed to the catch weight!?! People are gonna go crazy in the "Adrien Broner Meme's/Be Like" thread if he still manages to lose with the catch weight+rehydration clause.

most of the sanctioning bodies have rehydration clauses now too

Which bodies? What's the limit for different weight classes? Guys like Chavez Jr, Maidana, Rios etc always end up rehydrating to up to 1-2 weight classes above the weight limit.

im not sure which ones but i know a few do. u cant come in over 15% of your weigh in weight etc. u have to look it up but there are rules for it. maybe only applies to championship fights.

considering the two names this is a good matchup, but i still don't think it makes much sense. i thought Broner was campaigning at 140 now? isn't Shawn a BIG welterweight? plus these catchweight and rehydration clauses...wtf? even when Haymon puts two good fighters in together he finds a way to look ******.
