I'm seeing excuses about Canelo weight draining Jacobs. LMAO

[TonyGe]

So

Canelo is fighting against a 168 pounds ?

You haters are funnies...

Canelo against Jacobs both in 170 pounds it's good

You mean it's good for Canelo but bad for Jacobs. The rehydration stipulation that is proposed by the WBC is supposed to protect fighters from brain trauma because of excessive dehydration. How his this 170 limit put in by team Canelo benefiting Jacobs who is a big Middleweight. Jacobs was foolish to take this fight under those circumstances. . I understand it's huge money but very risky. The WBC should not sanction this fight. Lemieux who is smaller than Jacobs had to cancel his fight because he was too dehydrated.

Jacobs fought with the same stipulations versus Deveryanchenko and he looked fine.

[Raonic]

I don't mind as Jacobs has a history of not complying with the agreement.

It wasn't cheating but it was very misleading when he did it to GGG. GGG prepared to fight under a certain set of rules and Jacobs intentionally misled GGG as he had no intention of complying with the rules.

Thats not how it works, you rehydrate basically fully overnight, starting after the weigh in and the body is mostly done rehydrating in the morning of the fight, you might gain a couple more lb, but thats it. Thats why Jacobs dropped the IBF weigh in and said goodby to a major world title belt to have that massive advantage.

Jacobs was 176 in the morning and 180 in the ring vs GGG according to Conte. 16lb overnight and only 4lb from morning to the actual fight: https://www.boxingnewsresults.com/20...jacobs-weight/

Jacobs has to be extremely careful to only gain max 10lb overnight since he is such a huge middleweight.

Theres a reason Team Canelo put that into the contract, they saw how big Jacobs was vs GGG and they dont want to face that version of Jacobs.

You people claiming it means nothing is just weird.

Straight ether.

WBC just instituted it. Why boxing fans always gotta be the dumberest of the dumbest?

He’s referring to the IBF eule that’s been on the books as long as I can remember.

The WBC is following suit with a similar rule, but haven’t enacted it yet.

You can't compare Lemieux and Jacobs, both are different humans

Jacobs weighted 170 in his last fight

What's the fu.cking problem ?

Jacobs weighted 170 in his last fight and he looked good, dropped his rival

Jacobs needs more weight to beat Nelo?

Saying they should not sanction the fight was a bit over the top I will admit. However Jacobs won't be fighting at full capacity. Under the WBC rules since they haven't changed yet he did not have to cut weight. The IBF doesn't require him to cut weight either.

No he just doesn't need to be dehydrated.

[GhostofDempsey]

I believe there should be rehydration clauses for all fights. No one rehydrates past the next weight class. Canelo has been allowed to blow up after weigh-ins against Cotto, Khan and other opponents, he should have to follow this rule for all fights, same goes for Jacobs or any other fighter.
