Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis Makes Weight On 2nd Try; Can Fight For WBA Title

[Shadoww702]

I just read the WBA rules and they do state a fighter will get 2hours to make weight if they miss the first time. If they don’t make weight within the additional two hours they will be fined %35 of their purse. %25 to the promoter and %10 to the opponent. Plus pay the sanctioning fee. So I don’t know why Tank was fined if he made weight within the rules. Maybe because he was late?

I think your right about being late? But why Dan Rafael say some of the fine went to Gamboa???

Two hours??? Wow! That sounds seriously unfair?

I assume Gamboa could start hyrdrating right after his first bateau waiting two hours?

I just watched the weighin and it looks like Gamboa had to wait for Davis to show up to weigh in. So he had to stand around at weight for a few hours. Yeah there needs to be clarification on what the fine is and what it’s actually for. Tank officially made weight within the two extra hours and didn’t lose the title on the scale. But that also ended up being hours past when he was actually scheduled to weigh in. So I don’t understand it. So maybe it’s just a loophole but but he agrees to be fined in an act of good faith. This should all be explained to us lol typical boxing

Pudgy little thug had trouble making weight again, what a surprise. Can’t wait until he is actually in the ring with a live dog.

That is SERIOUSLY f’d up! Gamboa should be allowed to leave and start hydration.

Just imagine. They used to make guys make the weight the day of the fight. Oh, the humanity!

Well Cunningham was a police/probation officer so I would think he’d have been the first one to grab Tank and be on the front line. I haven’t had a chance to look back but I could definitely be wrong

Maybe it's a shared training between Ford and Cunningham. Calvin Ford was in the corner without Cunningham. Anyway, he missed weight, he looked gassed after 7, no bueno! He's gonna have to work harder, because he's not gonna stop everyone!

Salute to Calvin Ford! Where's Lorenzo "Truck" Simpson? Let's Go!

He's probably gonna have to take an "L" before he realizes that it takes more than talent to stay on top! I wish he could fight Miguel Berchelt, or the winner of Tevin Farmer vs. Jo Jo Diaz, in his next fight! LSC won't be strong enough @ 130, and I doubt Tank can go back to 130! Tank is very skilled fighter, but I think he's spoiled by Floyd!

Yeah, I definitely would love to see JoJo or Berchelt get him next. I believe that Berchelt’s straight shots would tear Tank up. I think JoJo has the speed to make it worthy. Now what would be funny is if GRJ gets ahold of him and beats him, they’ve had a little beef here lately and even though Gary is small I think he has enough speed and firepower to win

I don't think GRJ could beat him @ 135, but @ 130, he would give him fits! I think Tevin Farmer (Southpaw), would give him a good test @ 135, and a great opponent to prepare for Loma! Can't wait to see Farmer vs. Diaz on January 30th! Berchelt is good, but I don't think he wants to challenge himself! He knows the money is at 135, even in his own TR stable, and he seems not to want any part of it!
