What are the rules about how much weight you can gain AFTER a weigh in

[Kayo]

Sorry somethin I wanna clear up

[Rockin']

No set rule. Just make weight and show up the next night ready to throw down. They could however make a stipulation in the fight contract where a fighter may not gain a certain amount of weight before the fight. But thats up to the managers and fighters to debate.

I think he brought it up because of what was said in another thread about Gamache.

There should be some sort of stipulation on weight gain after the weigh-in. You're supposed to be fighting at 147, not 168 when you're a welterweight.

Ok if their is no rule about the amount he gained Gatti didnt cheat if gatti apparently didnt make the weight Gamache had every right to decline end of story to all the haters

yah, Gatti looked enormous in that fight. Wieght stipulations should not exceed 10 - 12lbs IMO. Anymore than that and it is basically attempted murder.

[ferocity]

gamache never had a great chin, that man got up after he got knocked down, their was no fear in him untill he got humiliated in his mind by gatti.



i think i've read the the wba only allows it fighters to gain 10 pounds after the weigh in

[Easy-E]

Im quite sure that at least one of the orginizations institued a limit after the Gatti-Gamache fight.
That was brutal.
