Comments Thread For: CSAC To Cancel Bouts if Fighter is 15% Over Contracted Weight

That's reasonable. A middleweight can't weigh 184lbs on fight night.

In MMA 185 lbs. is middle weight.

In MMA 185 lbs. is middle weight.

So they can't rehydrate to 212lbs.

Yeah but the article you’re referring to is specifically talking about Title fights. The danger is everywhere, moreso in prospect fatalities so far...

And, you’re referring to the second day weigh in of 10lbs max the morning of like the IBF, yet still the fighter can gain weight towards fight night.

Still, even if a Middleweight is 176lbs from 160 that’s 10%. 12-13% realm is like Callum Smith, Benavidez, or Zurdo... those guys can hit 20lb in the ring.

I get you're point! My point (which is why I posted the article) is that boxing has been talking about this since 2018, and have done nothing, not even the 10lb. rehydration like the IBF does! I think a few more people will have to die before fighters themselves realize that weight-cutting is very dangerous!

... California isn't Nevada... and boxing isn't MMA...

They lost me when they said “California is one of the most prominent combat sports regulatory bodies in the World”??? If I remember correctly Margarito was allowed to box there with his retina problems and numerous other boxers not being able to box in Nevada allowed to in Cali??

Heck GGG vs. Vanes they didn’t even try for Nevada after they saw Munguia getting turned down...
