Comments Thread For: WBC Prez To Lower Cruiser Limit To 190, Which Will Force Boxers To Bridgerweight

[Silver Spear]

But really the whole antiquated weight classification system should be revamped

Logically and scientifically by percentage increments. Not haphazardly with 2 or 3 pounds separating the light weight classes, or 7 pounds for light heavy (168-175), and then jump to 25, 50, 100, unlimited for heavies.

Yes. This is how I personally think it should be done. I think there also needs to be stricter regulations regarding hydration the day of the fight. Fighters should not be able to drop 20 pounds then balloon up fight night giving them a serious weight advantage. Too many younger fighters do this because they can while the older fighters bodies can no longer do so.

I will not be watching. This is a disgusting moneygrab by parasites. The fighters should ignore the WBC. For my part, any WBC champion is no longer a champion.

this is pathetic

Canelo gonna be the new WBC Cruiserweight Champion.

I personally feel that it would've made more sense, if they're going to add a new weight class, in between LHW and CW.

Lets hope the other sanctioning bodies ignore this like everyone else

We all know that they won't, sadly. WBA, WBO and IBF will eventually follow suit on this new super cruiserweight division. Time and time again history has shown that when one does, the others follow.

I always did prefer Crusierweight when it was 190 lbs to be honest.

I don't care if they add a new sub-heavy weight class (190-210lbs); just as long as they don't call it fcking Bridgerweight. Out of sheer hubris, the WBC will stick with Bridgerweight while the rest of the sanctioning bodies go with Super Cruiserweight.

So name the fighters! I bet I can justify each fighter you list!
