This CLOWN lost his belt on the scale AGAIN.

Oh well, Plant would've beat his a$$ anyway...

Time to move up Fatboy.

Caleb is going kick the tacos out of him. Fraud champion.

That sucks but if he can't make 168 no more then so be it, he misses out on a lot of money at 168 if he can no longer make that make just when things are heating up in that Division

Maybe PBC signs Zurdo and they starting building towards David Benavidez vs Gilberto Ramirez that would be a great option for him if he can no longer 168


Disappointed but still a fan, people outgrow weight classes it happens!

He is still growing. I think in his late 20"s or early 30's. He might fight at Cruiserweight.

I understand that it's still a title defense but Angulo never would've gotten a title shot if Benavidez didn't select him as an opponent so I don't think the belt should still be on the line for him.

Thats not how boxing works dude David decided to make a voluntary defense of his title he didn't make weight so he gets stripped it's not the first time this has happened in boxing. If the fight is approved and sanctioned by the respective organization then it is a title fight not oh well if he doesn't make weight it will become a 10 round non-title affair.

For the people comparing weight cuts with Jorge Masvidal that's a ****** comparison Jorge used to fight at 155 he said so himself that he doesn't cut a huge amount of weight to make 170 the only reason he had to cut 20 lbs in a week was because he took the fight on short notice and had been partying just like Nate Diaz did against McGregor but it was no different than when he cut down to 155 so 20 lbs was nothing it was mostly all water weight.

David on the other hand walks around at over 200+ and is a way larger frame than Masvidal he spends his camps making weight to begin with different sports too MMA guys are used to cutting a lot more weight than boxers especially since they work with a lot of high level wrestlers who are used to cutting weight on short notice.

I also saw someone say they should be on weight days before are you a ****ing idiot you realize these people dehydrate the hell out of themselves to make weight even your favorite fighters aside from Heavyweights which is why they eventually move up in weight if you dehydrate yourself that many days before a fight you are either going to end up in hospital before the fight, during the fight, or after one of the 3 that is not safe at all.

he should find out what drugs danny jacobs uses to make weight

[champion4ever]

I am not ready to rule him out just yet. Due to this current quarantine we are under; Benavidez probably had to cut a few extra pounds just in order to remove the excessive weight off his body. I am pretty sure that he has been much less active since this pandemic broke out than normal.

Yes, I believe it's that too and also it's probably due to this current quarantine we are under and he has probably added a few extra pounds that he had to cut due to being less active than usual because of this pandemic.

Jacobs had Algieri - Mr. Nutrition - doing the meals for him.

[landotter]

Unlikely he did not know it was going to be close. They know in camp.

Very disappointing is right. This is a talented boxer. He needs to make adjustments or risk losing all his big fights.
