    Yes, ideally you want to be spending time trying to lose weight the day before the fight instead of replenishing yourself.

      If a fighter needs 2 to 3 attempts to make weight; Then typically, it signifies that he has outgrown the weight division and needs to find a new one.

        Or he took the fight lightly, or he lacks discipline near the end of camp, Davis is not ripped to the bone or looking dehydrated he has the weight to lose.

          Which is very common due to inactivity. The man fights every 20 months or so. That's why it is becoming more and more difficult for him to make weight; No matter what weight division he is in. The man simply needs to fight and stay active in order to stay in shape. What the Hell exactly is Floyd Mayweather doing over there at Floyd Mayweather Promotions? Obviously, he is not doing a good job of promoting his fighters because he doesn't know how. He is fucking Tank's career up man! He's fucking it up!

              Beyond the fact that he missed weight despite having just moved up to 135, what really makes this concerning is that this is his 3rd time coming in overweight. It's an indicator of low discipline, which could cost him dearly down the line. It might not hurt him against a guy like Gamboa, but with talent like Loma, Lopez, Haney and Ryan surrounding him, Tank could be steamrolled if he's not on his A-game.

                I have to agree with this.
