April 22, Jacobs looking drained 7lbs north of 160.

if im not mistaken there will be a 10% rehydration limit when they enter the ring imposed by the wbc... so no more than 176... which seems normal for a mw fight...

You are right but also mistaken. The weight limit will be 176 but that restriction isn't on the WBC. I expect both fighter will be close or at that limit.

have you read the new wbc rules?
they never had a 14-day weighin before...

The WMP specifically aims to protect the health and safety of fighters.

In addition to our already established pre-weigh-ins of 30 and 7 days. The 14 days weigh in is added.

To further ensure the safety of boxers and their rivals, by avoiding overhydration, the World Boxing Council is implementing a weigh in system on the same day of the fight.

In which boxers must not exceed 10% of their weight division.

The fighters must be weighed in the dressing room of the arena where the fight will take place.

10%
It must be done to monitor that the fighter doesn’t exceed 10% of the division limit.

It's a unification fight so the 10% limit is not in effect. The limit was imposed contractually by Canelo.

only the ibf has that rule when unification trumps rehydration weighins, wbc is a different story... its a new wbc rule and has nothing to do with unifications... canelos rehydration clause is for 10lbs in the morning, wbc is 10% on fight night..

Of course he is drained. He just barely can make 160 and is bigger than many 168 pound boxers.He skipped the morning weigh in and GGG did not skip it and he ended up weighing an estimated 180 to GGG's 170. Canelo won't let him skip the morning weigh in so he won't be able to gain as much weight between the weigh in and the fight. One reason among others that I think Canelo will win by KO.

I got Canelo also but not by ko. By a clear decision. Maybe around 9 rounds to 3 or thereabouts. Peace.

Jacobs will be drained, since he usually rehydrates to 180+ over night, now he somehow must stop below 170.

Jacobs had to make the 170 once, and that was in his last fight where he looked terrible and almost lost to Derevyanchenko, who is no killer at all.

Derevyanchenko just almost got knocked out by light punching Culcay who is pretty much garbage.

I see no way that Jacobs wins vs Canelo now while being drained, his biggest advantages are eliminated.

Its not 10%, its 10lb rehydration limit, special clause requested from Team Canelo for this fight. So the max weight is 170lb, meaning its a huge disadvantage for Jacobs.

Sources: Canelo-Jacobs has a rehydration clause. Second weigh-in at 8 a.m. day of middleweight title fight. Neither guy can weigh more than 170 pounds. Penalty is several-hundred thousand per pound. Jacobs elected not to partake in IBF’s same-day weigh-in for fight with GGG

Jacobs will still have the whole day to keep rehydrating. He'll be heavier than 170 pounds in the ring.

and there is also the wbc rehydration limit imposed by the wbc on the night of the fight, that one is 10%... in fact this 14-day weighin is also part of the new wbc weight control program which includes the 10% rehydration clause on fight night..
