Comments Thread For: Yafai: 'Absolute Joke' How Heavy Carmona Came in for Our Fight

[Letmaku]

Same day weigh-in is the answer! No pay for over weight boxer. Money should go to the on weight boxer if the fight continue. No Mexican meat amigos!

Physiology and basic math is not something that the average NBS member is familiar with I see : From 135 going up to jr. welter a boxer adds 3.7 percent in weight ; compare that to David Carmona over the jr. bantamweight limit ( fighting as a bantamweight ) at 118½ is about a 2.7 percent increase, so you only get about 1 percent extra increase from 135-140 -- WOW BIG DEAL.

then you ask yourself a simple question: If I weigh 115 pounds and my friend weighs 140...is three pounds harder/easier for him to carry? or is it easier for me -- who weighs 25 pounds less? AND I also have smaller lungs, a smaller heart, softer bones....hmm. NAH three pounds aint ****!

It dont matter if you are even over half a pound in any weight class ; it don't matter if you are 147 pounder or a middleweight -- nobody is going to say ' its only one pound!' nevermind if they come in three pounds over!

good post and well stated.

About time all boxing weight divisions were redefined. They seem a bit out of date now.

8 weight classes from 105-130. 25 pounds, 8 weight classes. The same amount of weight as a jump from light heavyweight to cruiserweight.

And we can forget that LHW-Cruiserweights have the body to compete with unlimited/HW's and even win world titles. Tony Bellew is fighting at HW btw.

its an 'absolute joke' how many weight divisions they cram into them smaller weights

Exactly what I was thinking.
