Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor Slightly Heavy, Other WBSS Semifinalists Make Weight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Emmanuel Rodriguez and Naoya Inoue finally get to settle their differences in the ring. The same will likely hold true for Josh Taylor and Ivan Baranchyk, despite a scale fail that resulted in confusion as to whether their fight can be declared official.

If Taylor beats Baranchyk like most believe he will then I think the WBSS final would be his last fight at 140lbs. Massive at the weight!

Baranchyk should keep the fight, and keep the belt! Taylor didn't make weight, so he can't take the title! It still would be significant if he wins the WBSS!

Someone should be fired here. How can they not have the correct kg amount for 140lb ?

scale fail lmao only in boxing do million dollar fights not have the right scales...its almost like it was supposed to "fail"

What’s a “metric pound”?

I’ve never noticed U.K. using kg in boxing. We still use stone, lb, oz for weights of people. This stinks of WBSS sauerland boojery

He has two hours to make weight and he was barely over 140 lbs

��*♂️⚖️ Bit of a mess for Josh Taylor at the weigh-in. WBSS do them in kg; 63.5kg = 140lbs. Taylor came in at 63.6kg (140.2lbs) and it was thought he’d made weight. He did the face-off and had a drink, only for it to be pointed out that he was over. Now has two hours to hit 63.5kg.

He should be able to fart that amount out but how much water did he drink after?
