Should Same Day Weigh-Ins Return?

5lbs lol. why would guys even cut? 10 lbs of rehydration is fair...anything more and the guy could be putting himself at risk, not to mention the possibility of putting his opponent at risk. normally i'd say if a guy can cut and rehydrate without affecting his performance level, then all the power to him. that said,the weight cutting definitely favors the younger fighter. for that reason i'd be for a rehydration clause.

a 168lbs boxer fighting a 155lbs boxer for a 147lbs belt. interesting.

ummmm genius Floyd fan, what is happening in boxing is that at the weigh in fighters will weigh @ 147lbs 146lbs.

on the night of the fight after rehydration.

Fighter A weighs 168lbs
Fighter B weighs 155lbs

both of them fighting for a Welter Weight belt of 147lbs.

is that not interesting with you.

i appreciate you referring to me as a genius, but not everyone smarter than you is actually a genius. you're just below average intelligence. i would support a rehydration clause.

so now you understand what the F i am talking about genius Floyd fan?

you rejected my suggestion that i don't care about same day weigh in or a day before the fight weight but both fighters should not weigh more than 5lbs of the weight division. only to suggest that you support rehydration clause.

with rehydration clause the A side fighter decides the weight limit and the other guy who just want the fight because of the money will just say yes to all the conditions.

then you will see again

fighter A 168lbs
fighter B 155lbs

Can't be bothered with all the responses, so I'll cut to the chase. Yes, same day weigh-ins should return. What's the use of having weight limits, only to have 20-30 pound weight disparities on the night of the fight. It's a sham. Only in boxing can you have a guy make 160 pounds and show up for the fight weighing 185 pounds. What the hell is that all about? Technicalities aside, if you can't make a ****ing weight class, move on to the next one.

Simple as.

usually when someone drains that much weight it's more of a detriment than an advantage.

No it was removed for a reason, deemed it caused more health risk.

If we have same day weighins their will be alot more deaths and severe traumatic injuries occurring at a high rate.

lol stfu.


the friday weigh ins were introduced to get people to gamble at the casinos for two nights instead of one.
