Haymon or Showtime lying with their fighters fight night weight.

[PK3434]

I don't really care but anyone who knows the sport understands that both guys weighed a lot more than 158-159 on fight night.

No need for Showtime to lie, though. I don't even think its necessary to show fight night weights. We all know how it goes.

Maybe showtime hands the fighter's team a pen to write down their fight night weight, and they just write whatever?

As long as they make weight...who cares?

Wasn't this an IBF title fight? Dont they have weight restrictions for next day etc?

No, they don't. And I explained it twice on this thread.

Hi guys. This is a thread for rational people and not ****** haters. If you feel like insulting first without even thinking, please get outta here. Thanks.

Erislandy Lara is known for rehydrating between 166 and 171. On his last fight against Vanes, they said Lara's fight night weight was 160. Strange...

Now they claim Charlo and Williams were 158 and 159 respectively.



WTF is going on? Charlo looked HUGE and:

* 158 is what most WW weigh.
* He was at 170 for a fight on december 2014. It's clear that was his real weight back in the day. No way he lost 12 pounds...

I understand that fight night weight has become an issue lately, and fighters/promoters are hiding them. But lying about them? Mayweather style I guess.

boxing is the most corrupt in the world...

and yes, i believe there is foul play involved in fight night weigh ins...

start with floyd vs marquez and floyd's eventual need to not show fight night weigh ins after that....

_Maxi at it again...

Charlo got him shook.

Charlo did look really big in tht fight.

And with the diuretics these guys use today, you got guys dropping 25+ lbs on a normal.

IMO, that's why Haymon/Showtime refuse to show real fight night weights. A lot of opponents might not want to fight them in the future, not to mention it raises questions when you see guys rehydrate 20 + lbs.
