Weigh in

Weigh in should be done one the day of the fight, period. That prevents the weight bully problem altogether now, doesn't it?

In theory it would do and if you exceed by 10% you should be fined heavily and maybe even banned for a few months. That would soon solve the weight bully problem

Let's see how this works out! I think this is good for boxing!

10% is still way too much, should be capped at 10-12 lb for the higher weight classes. Middleweights coming in at 176 is too high, should be 170-172 max.

This should be a really good fight.
Taylor's body shots will be key to
Slow this tough Russian down. Taylor late stoppage.

it wont be as much if its done an hour before the fight and not the morning of the fight , someone like jacobs wont be entering the ring above 176... its prob around the same weight he had in his fight vs sergiy when he did the 10 lb morning weighin for ibf ...

Exactly.

Just go back to same day weigh-ins like in the old days.

That would correct this problem with a quickness.

There was another thread on this topic somewhere.

WBC reported that they were blocked from weighing fighters on the day.

Great news. Sulaiman's a slimeball.
