Official rehydration clause of 185 for Kova vs Canelo. Does it matter?

[Biolink]

And there you have it.

Kovalev is used to the IBF rule, so I'm sure he wasn't gonna put on a bunch of weight anyways, but it's still disappointing to hear. Lol at Fat Dan spinning it "Well Canelo didn't ask for it". Does it really matter? It's there now, lol.

Yeah it does matter...if it didn't matter there wouldn't be one.

lmfao just like Canelo didn't ask for the one against Jacobs or the one against Fielding or all the other ones.


Bull****, they're still there lol

It's typical Canelo BS (and he wonders why some people don't like him) but it won't matter in this case. The Mcgirt version of Kovalev is lighter and has better stamina. Kovalev will be under 185 with or without this nonsense.

Is the IBF 10lbs or 10%? Genuine question because im not sure (I know some of the pre weigh ins have to do with %).
If it's 10% then 10lbs is still significantly less than an IBF weigh in as that would allow him to weigh 17.5 more the next day.

IBF is 10lbs

it should be a percentage though, since ten pounds to a lightweight is a massive difference and ten pounds to a cruiserweight is just taking a big ****.

Thanks. I agree that it should be percentage also

But he came in the ring against Floyd as Light heavyweight weighing around 175 lbs and had the audacity to complain

Pretty sure he was "only" about 165 for that fight...and his fans complain that he was drained

Eh I’m indifferent to this, if you as a fighter agree to it then you can’t use it as an excuse. Unless you are showing up just for the check of course but if your aim is to win and you accept it it’s because you don’t think it’ll be a factor
