Comments Thread For: Canelo, Jacobs Weights From Contracted 2nd-Day Weigh-In Sealed

I still don’t understand why boxing doesn’t go back to same day weigh-ins. They went to day before weigh-ins in the name of fighter safety. But if fighters would fight in their natural weight divisions, there would be no health risk in making weight the morning of the fight.

Fighters being fighters will kill themselves making weight. They do not think about the risks that dehydration posts for brain trauma.

Why hide it. Canelo coming in around 190. 210 if you count the bricks in his gloves. I bet he ain't getting fined by the pound

Damn I almost forgot that Vegas still allows Canelo to use most of the wrap behind the knuckles and then pulls them even further up the back of the hand all the way to the wrist, thereby exposing the knuckles with limited covering but that limited covering becomes a cast when they stack the wrap, tape, gauze, tape, gauze.

Its funny how Canelo is making Jacobs do the same thing that Floyd made Canelo do and Canelo *****ed afterwards and even used it as an excuse for his performance.

Lol, I bet they were both over

It’s this right here but they should just say they were both over so what

[Robi13]

Everyone crying about the weights... but all you cry babies still gonna watch the fight so stop crying, acting like ******** females

[boliodogs]

Why a damn secret? That is just ****** and annoying. They should give those weights and the fight night weights as well. Curious fans like me want to know what they weighed and it does no harm. We know they will both be under 170 for the morning weigh in so just tell us what exactly they weighed FFS. Give us the fight night weights too. It's part of the story of this fight.

If the IBF title is still on the line for both, they both made the second-day weight.

There is no IBF second-day weigh-in anymore for unification fights.

This has zero relationship to what fmj did. Fmj had already fought at 154 twice before canelo & was the champ,& canelo had made it clear he couldn't comfortably make 152 since age 20. Fmj bragged about intentionally weight draining canelo so he would go to bed hungry & worry bout weight instead of training. Jacobs has fought with this same stipulation in every fight before since hes been fighting for the ibf he holds. Hes literally doing the same routine hes always done. Making a fighter only weigh 10 lbs by 8am day of the fight has no relationship to intentionally weight draining them by making them go down in weight from where they are capable of without seriously handicapping themselves.

Both situations are different but if Canelo didn't think that a second-day weigh-in could give him an advantage over Jacobs, he wouldn't do it. Floyd was tha A-side so he drained Canelo to 152. Canelo looked bad at the weigh-in and in the ring. I gave Floyd little credit for that win, but sheeps did give him full credit for it. When Canelo was the A-side, he fought Lara at 155 to avoid draining himself.
