Kathy Duva: Kovalev vs Canelo will be at 175

[Thuglife Nelo]

They got rid of it because Jacobs gave up his IBF title in order to avoid
the morning weigh in. Other organizations don't have a rule stopping fighters weighing in the morning of the fight. Golovkin weighed in under their rules but Danny skipped it.

Like I said, the IBF doesn’t impose Morning Of Unifications. For single IBF titles the morning weigh in is still there. Bringing up Jacobs vs GGG has nothing to do with new policy. Which btw how many belts does Krusher have? What’s wrong with a rehydration clause? Limit is 175 on the scales.

How many Middleweights fighting at 175...

Why? You’d still cry the same thing about clauses!

IBF rule.

No IBF rule for a WBO title fight.

Get it now?

Plenty of people rehydration clauses. The other organizations don't think it's a good idea or they would have implemented it. The IBF got rid of the restriction for title fights because of Danny Jacobs ignoring it for the Golovkin fight. Lemieux had to go to the hospital and could not fight trying to make weight so weight cutting is serious. There has been plenty of debate on whether the IBF policy is healthy for the fighters. If anyone wants to fight for an organization's title they should be prepared to follow their rules.

Your ignorance misses the whole point of the clause. If a fighter is struggling to make a rehydration weight that is in proximity of the class weight, then they shouldn't be competing at that weight class. This clause is meant to make the sport fairer and keep fighters from taking dehydration to extreme levels just to fight in divisions they have no business being in to begin with.

You still don’t get it.

First of all, there’s no catchweight. Second of all many posters on this site rumored that Maxim Dadashev was drained to begin with... how that affected battle armor is a question.

Third, if the IBF imposes a morning of weight limit, what’s wrong with a fight for Canelo vs Kovalev imposing a max rehydration the morning of? Kovalev can weigh in as much as he wants on fight night.

Your hate for Canelo is so juicy you forgot that Loma vs Rigo (WBO) had a morning limit...

Derp derp derp!

The limit is 175 LH and 160 for Middleweights. The fighters are then allowed to rehydrate for safety reasons. The Jacobs and Golovkin situation had everything to do with the new policy by the IBF.

great fight

Lol. The thing is what you just wrote is cowardice responses we deal with in the real world. You just stated the weight of classes and writing that boxers are allowed to rehydrate... is that supposed to be news?! Leave the thread man. Only balls up in here.

As if Kovalev is limited to 175 including rehydration... ffs...

It's not my policy. I'm was pointing out that proper rehydration is important if fighters want to be at their best. I know why the IBF has their rules about rehydration but the Golovkin Jacobs fight was not a level playing field so the IBF decided to change their policy. No matter what the rules are fighters are going to try to shrink down or bulk up if there are belts and money at stake.
