    Imo it’s always a disadvantage because when you meet someone who is true at that weight your shrinking down doesn’t matter. Gallimore Williams was a perfect example of that. In the end the body punching of Williams weakened Gallimore badly. He had nothing in the tank late in the fight. Williams face was marked up from the bigger man, but he clearly won.
    Run weh battybwoy! Hop off Gallimore!

      This is part of the reason why I feel we should go back to same day weigh ins. That way the fighter aiming for the biggest weight advantage is the one that gets the short end of the stick.

        I never really get on guys for being weight bullies. It's their gamble to make jeopardizing their health and possibly being weight drained to fight smaller guys. Some fighters are naturally better at cutting weight too like Chavez Jr and Canelo while other fighters will feel cutting 8 pounds is too much.

            It's ****** how this fighters kill themselves to bully other fighters to the point where some come 20 pounds over weight they should be fine 50 percent of their purse.

              Weight drain screws you when you're forced to do a catch weight such as 152 or 150 you know like Floyd and Manny you to make their opponents do .
