    I don't put much weight into them piece of shet belts either but it's easy to say dump the belt and pay the fine... Wether we agree or not unless a fighter is a superstar like Canelo or Mayweather a fighter stands to make more money in title fights than he would in non-title fights... That's just reality.
    So I can understand why the belts mean so much to fighter's and why they kill themselves trying to make weight...

      Depends on how much of his weight was shed by the haircut.

        Chopping your hair off to make weight is the easiest and safest way to make weight so not a bad strategy if you have excess hair to do it with

          He, and possibly more important, his father, have waited a long time to call themselves World Champs. Skill wise, he’s the low hanging fruit in the WW division. I think they’d do just about anything to keep hold of that strap.

                "I don't know what happened (the first time)," Porter (29-2-1, 17KOs) said of initially missing weight. "I think I just got started late on the process (of cutting weight during fight week)."

                You know what happened you didn't train properly!!

                    Nope, he was still 147.2. Kenny told him to exhale all his oxygen out and somehow that got him to 146.8. Some Fookery going if you ask me
