I have fought someone heavier by 4.5kg's by slipping in weights down ya shorts!
    Sure, coming in 2 kg's over is ****** as well, but if the fight had went on, at least he would have had an advantage. What the hell is being 2.5kg's lighter going to accomplish?? that is ******ed in every way imaginable.

    They should have weighed him before official weigh in to know he was under. My trainer weighs us before we set off to see who needs to eat and who needs to drink.
    Exactly.

        It aint like I meant to come in lighter than I was supposed to, I dont really know how it happened. I know it sounds ****** but I haven't been that light since April, I just did what my trainer said on the day of the fight and didn't eat after lunch ( the weigh in was at 7). Now I'm just gonna try and make sure it doesn't happen again.

          Excuses aside, in this case you and your trainer were as much to blame for the "dodgy matchmaking" as anyone. Blaming others for your mistakes is silly at best.

            I thought they didn't allow people to fight exhibitons anymore because there were so many mismatches. You know sence someone might have 1 fight on record but may have fought alot of exhibitons.

              Nope, there still around. I saw a perfect example this past weekend. A kid who I beat who is now 2-1 had an exhibition with the provincial champ and got destroyed. Maybe getting ride of them isnt a bad idea.
