Even if a fighter needs 2 or 3 attempts to make weight...

[Tony Trick-Pony]

He still made weight in my opinion. I dont see a big deal. Your thoughts?

Well, let's break out the measuring stick.

Has Loma missed weight on any fight?

Like ever?

I mean, ever?

A pro makes weight easily.

This is a ****ing farce.

Stop making excuses.

If a guy doesn't make weight, call the fight off.

**** him.

He has no discipline.

He's cheating.

It's that simple.

***** ass.

I hope Gamboa lands a hail Mary on his dumbass.

Boxing Is Great as a fan, aren't you even slightly concerned about Davis's continued struggles with the scales?
Personally, I think the guy is very talented but this weight thing has been going on for some time and has followed him into a new weight class which is unusual.
No one wants to be looking back saying "if only".

I hope it’s cool to chime in with my opinion? I’m with you, I think he’s a guy that will always struggle with weight. We can’t see a guy train and eat 24/7 during camp so its hard to speculate why, but we do have precedent. Tank has never really looked shredded at a weigh in. Nobody is ever as lean as they think they are. I’m lean, but it doesn’t mean I’m in cardio shape to even fight a four rounder. So in that same vein Tank a young pro fighter getting paid millions with a whole team behind him, prepared to fight a twelve round fight still can’t make weight, then it will always be an issue for him. I don’t think anyone is really surprised. If he ever shows up peeled and says he’s in his best shape ever and preforms that way, then u know he was doing it wrong prior.

But im a known PBC hater. After looking, observing, watching the weigh in im sure he didnt make weight anyway. They LIED. In the end, on his 3rd attempt he was mighty close to weight but he still didnt make it but they let it slide. Being that hater nobody will believe me but thats what happned.

I would not be shocked if he actually didn’t make weight and they just let it slide.

The weigh in was unprofessional, even Gamboa just jumped on the weight and then left, they were calling him back to come and take pictures and everything, then they wheeled Williams onto the stage, then Tank was late etc

I know they did that with Chavez Jr on many occasions when he didn’t make weight. They just let it slide like he did. Shady business in boxing. But if Tank really did drop that weigh within an hour then kudos to him, but I doubt it.

[redmish]

As long as they make weight within a stipulated time, it's all good. Fighters that fail to make weight should be punished and fined.

I think the weight difference in the ring is usually overplayed as an advantage. But making weight in front of the fans at a huge cost if u fail is was something I admired about boxing. I used to say boxers can lose more on the scale than a main event ufc fighter can earn in their fight. That puts things into perspective. We love to talk about weight because it’s tangible and u can tie it to the history and precedent any fighter has set for themselves. Weight i.e. 160lbs is the same everywhere in the world, and past or present. If making weight was not a substantial and potentially difficult part of the sport then there should be no excuse to not make it. Any fighter coming in heavy and says it’s no big deal is implying a paradox.

Good points.

I can't help but think back to Hatton or Duran, both of whom were known to "enjoy life" between fights yet always made weight and I can't honestly can't think of anyone missing weight in their first fight moving up.

I hope he can nail down 135lbs because there are lots of good fights to be made and I think physical dimensions would work against him up at 140.

Problem is he technically didn’t..he had almost a total of four extra hours to make the weight..two hours late to the weigh in and then an extended almost two hour window to make it after..

I’ve said it before he’s going the way of Broner, enjoying life so much to the point he ate himself to being outsized to the point his power was irrelevant against bigger men..just a matter of time til this kid follows the last few steps. His character screams a less vocally cringe worthy version of Broner but his actions are damn near identical

Nothing unprofessional about it. He was supposed to make weight, and he did. Save your fake bitchy outrage for someone who cares. Boxing is a brutal sport, toughen up.

It's a fight. Get on with it.

Lmfao man your avoiding those davis articles huh. I was surprised you were M.I.A as davis number one fanboy i thought you were gonna respond to everyone.
Um....this is the third time hes had to make a second or third attempt at making weight. Also the second time hes late and still had extra time to make weight which is bs.
"Boxing is a brutal sport, toughen up" lmfao hilarious coming from a guy who has no problem with davis constantly having no risk fights.

[Roadblock]

I agree thats why they have the extra time to make weight.

Davis is making a habit of it even as he moves up, gotta be a discipline thing for me, didnt he drop a belt on the scales ?
