Weigh ins should right before the ring entrance

This is another way to make boxing safer.

Going back to same day weigh ins and making it as close to the start of the fight as possible. I propose weighing the fighter in right before they enter the ring.

It would make fights fairer to fighters who do not want to dehydrate themselves 10-20 pounds of water (about 2 gallons) but I don't think safer. Fighters would still do it and then try to fight without rehydrating. Some would likely drop dead in the ring from heat stroke.

Have you ever made a thread that doesnt suck?

I agree.

Bob Arum was on "First Take" with Kellerman and Stephen A. and said he was gonna try to convince them to bring it back

And if the guy doesn't make weight? Just cancel the fight right then and there in front of the thousands in attendance?

He can pay to refund the tickets with his purse.

I'm all in on this one, except make it the morning of the fight.

I like that they do it in ufc. They weigh in right before they step in the octagon
