SANCHEZ: ''(ALVAREZ) Still Has To Make 170 On 2nd Day Morning''

[Robbie Barrett]

It's for unification fights and fights that have multiple world titles on the line.

It says in that ESPN article that Canelo and Triple G are not required to do the IBF same day weigh in.

Supposedly that rule is only for fights that only have the IBF title by itself alone with no other titles on the line.

This article is from August 22nd, so unless the IBF changed things up again or we are not understanding their rule properly. What I read was only fights that have just the IBF title on the line are required for same day weigh ins.


In this case for Canelo and Golovkin they are fighting for the IBF and WBA, with Gennady defending the WBC title which he can retain in victory or become vacant if he loses.

That's Fat Dan adding his opinion. The IBF quote only says unifications. Maybe Fat Dan is wrong?

In this case for Canelo and Golovkin they are fighting for the IBF and WBA, with Gennady defending the WBC title which he can retain in victory or become vacant if he loses.

So according to their new ruling and what the article states, Canelo and Golovkin are not required to do a same day weigh in.

"There shall be a second weigh-in between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. on the morning of the
event, unless otherwise approved by the IBF/USBA. The second day weigh-in shall be waived for
unification bouts with the WBA, WBC, and WBO. At this weigh-in, boxers cannot weigh more
than ten (10) pounds over the weight limit. If a boxer weighs more than ten (10) pounds over the
weight limit, he will have two (2) hours thereafter to make the prescribed weight. If after two (2)
hours he still weighs more than ten (10) pounds over the weight limit, the fight can proceed only as
3
described below"

These ****ing sanctioning bodies and their crazy ****ing rules.

It wouldn't surprise me with how much B.S. there is with the alphabet groups that even trainers, boxers, media, analysts, etc...are confused by their rules.

Only way to find out is to get the info straight from the IBF.


It seems that the IBF declared that only IBF title fights will now practice the same day weigh in.

Any unified champions or unifying bouts are not required. Which makes sense.

But let's find out exactly from the source.

So worried about weight, yet they would jump at the chance at welterweights and junior middleweights coming up to 160 to fight them.

Yeah and it certainly may be true that Canelo and Golovkin need to weigh in the same day.

I'm not trying to debate or argue, I'm just trying to know exactly what's going to happen and know how the rule applies. Or how it applies to unified champions, if at all.

These ****ing sanctioning bodies and there ****ing rules. Constantly confusing the **** out of people. SMDH

people forget Nelo called out GGG at 155... now when it's a 160 yet again homeboys are all spooked

[Raonic]

He's not the IBF champion he's under no obligation to do it if he doesn't want to. Golovkin doesn't have to either if he drops the IBF. He chooses to keep it, he follows their rules. Pretty simple.

If Canelo is challenging for the IBF title, then he agreed to obliged to the second day weigh in and his opponent is working under the assumption that he keeps his word.

It's a terrible rule but if it's in the contract that they signed, then they should obliged to it.
