>>> My take on de la Hoya's strategy for moving up the weigh in...

Its really a shame people go around spouting so much ignorance and lies, because there are so many gullible other people who believe it and regurgitate it somewhere else and the vicious circle continues.

 

Yes, very true. Farmbot is still parroting this stuff which he heard from people like the OP.

 

If it were true, it would be shameful on the part of Canelo and ODLH. And it's just as shameful that you think it's "smart".

 

And it isn't true, so Nay_Sayer is mistakenly smearing his own fighter whilst revealing his complete lack of integrity. Way to shoot yourself in the foot twice at once

 

Another day another NS thread in which he gets totally owned! Why are you so obsessed with this fight if Canelo is fighting 'a bum' here? You're revelling in the ginger kid fighting bums? Are you dumb? You've already said 'Canelo is a LHW picking on smaller fighters & will never step in the ring with a live body' (Floyd, Lara, GGG anyone?!).. Yet you're all over him here & even then you're self defeating! Didn't you say G would duck him anyway! You are one of the dumbest pyramid botherers ever! Stop watching interracial porn in future!

Somebody stick a fork in this useless welp, he's done!

 

When did they change this rule. GGG did a same day weigh-in against Jacobs, which was less than 6 months ago. The same titles were on the line.

Literally within the last few weeks I think

 

Shady

 

Why?

 

The IBF has dropped that rule for all unified title fights.

 

Nope, it totally makes sense. It makes the IBF title a liability if one guy wants to keep it and the other fighter just wants to win. The fighter wanting the IBF title will be at a severe disadvantage, which makes one not want to fight for it. Obviously the IBF doesn't want a situation where nobody wants to fight for their belt if it's a unification so they dropped the rule in these circumstances.

 

Obviously to accommodate GBP/Canelo...

 

Actually if anything to try there best to keep the title on the winner, Jacobs skipped it and ggg was at a disadvantage ibf probs thought canelo would do the same, so it's a big plus for GGG that they have scrapped it all together.

 

The IBF belt won't matter if Canelo roids, comes in at 185, and KOs Golovkin.

 

Canelo bulked up like a mf'er and lo and behold not only are they making the weigh in time earlier on Friday, but he doesnt have to weigh in at 170 on Saturday morning. What a joke.
