Stop making excuses for Haney......

No excuses, Haney didn't have any

 

That's more like a taste of your idiocy.

 

Of course. If You can do it properly, which is not always easy(How many times We hear fighters saying They lost because They killed themselves making weight?) - it gives great advantage.
The difference between that and failing to make weight is about as the difference between body shot and a low-blow. I don't know how else to explain it. Both can give you an edge, but one is legal and open option to anyone, other is breaking the rules, or contract you make with your opponent - regardless of whether You can pay your way out of it or not.

For me it's also not so much about sympathy for Haney - I rather don't like the fact that Garcia will be able to get away with it. I think it's sleezy, it's cheating and I hate when fighters do it. Be it Nery, Broner or whoever else. Don't think You deserve full credit for the win under those cirumstances.

As for fighters putting on a lot of weight after the weigh-in - If You don't like the fact that rules allow it - I'm with You. I think boxing would be much better if there was way to prevent it from occuring, but as it is it's a part of the sport and I don't think it's fair to say to fighters They can't use it to their advantage. What should Haney have done? Moved up to 147... and fight Spence who'd be as much bigger than him as He was bigger than Lomachenko? It's part of the game, fighters are trying to maximise their chances of succeeding.
I'm also not sure why is Haney so singled out in here. There's plenty of guys who cut just as much. Goulamirian looks enormous at Cruiserweight. Zurdo was huge at 168 and 175. Beterbiev was fighting at heavyweight in amateurs and is also certainly walking around heavy. Canelo said He doesn't want to fight Benavidez because He'll have 20-25 pounds on him... and so on, and so on

 

It was a robbery, even 1 judge calling this a draw is a disgrace. I just watched it back and all I can say is

Garcia clearly won rounds 1, 6, 8, dropped him in 7, 10, 11. One of the rounds I think it was 10 Haney was down a further 2 times and there were punches that led to that just because he starts holding in the lead up to the knockdown doesn't mean it's not a knockdown. Out of the remaining rounds there's a few you could still give Garcia like 9,12 and others plus the point deduction was BS.

Look at Haney's record he did nothing to warrant mandatory status at lightweight. NOTHING. Tell me who he beat to be mandatory. We Be Crooks always look after the American and Mexican names.

 

Whatever. That was an old fashioned ass whipping.

 

Well, We have another big fight with weight-bully involved coming up pretty soon.
Hopefully Dmitry Bivol serves Beterbiev some taste of his own medicine - and comes in overweight. He should probably load up his gloves too. Show that guy how it feels to fight a guy with unnatural power!

 

Is say it's me like 4 divisions mate.

I'm trying to think of someone who cuts weight that much.

Virgil Ortiz springs to mind who hot footed it as soon as he had to fight someone good in stanionis and also was damaging his health.

Canelo as well back in his 154 days.

Something should be done about it though as it's making a mockery of weight divisions.

As some one said.

Think it was Serge

Weighed in 4 lbs less than ggg for his light welter debut did haney.

Enough said.

 

The robbery of Hughes was disgusting.

Then they shafted him again his team by not sorting out a visa and ended up flying back and forth.

 

Hahaha that picture with bellows.

Thinking about it pretty sure old tone was a super heavy in the ams.

 

I hate the extreme weight cutters myself. We have weight classes for a reason and that's to give us fights wherein the fighters are appropriately matched physically. I don't want to see bouts wherein one fighter is two classes above his opponent by the time they get to the ring regardless of the sacrifices the weightcutter made to be 20lbs lighter the day before.
