Apparently there's a limit to what Alvarez can weigh on fight-night....

Is the belt at 154lbs? Did he step up to try win the vacant title in the Light-Middle division?

The limit for the division is 154lbs, there should be no catchweights for World titles, never mind limits for fight night weights.

No matter what the WBC tried to enforce, the vacant WBC title will be won twice in a row via catchweight...it's bull****.

 

Ibf does the same thing. 10 pounds over the limit and you lose the title.

 

But Oscar has stated that he will eventually move down to 147 lbs.

He may be fabricating that to hype him with the stars of the division, but what other reason would he be trying to weigh in that low over his last few fights? Or he could just have poor dedication to his diet.

Think about it like this, if hatton was ready to pull his younger sibling out if they weighed over 150 bearing in mind its for a world title in alvarezs back yard then i can see why they would want to cap his fight night weight aswel.

 

Isn't it one week prior fight weight-in?

 

wtf are you talking about.... stop crying already... is more dangerous for a fighter to go up too much after weigh in it shows he had to starve and dehydrate himself to make weigh in the first place

:hat

 

Everyone complaining about how a maximum allowed rehydration weight is dangerous for the fighter it's placed upon, what about the opposite? It's very dangerous for his opponent as well because he'll be facing someone with a significant weight advantage in a REAL PROFESSIONAL FIGHT, not a sparring session. Who was the guy who got seriously hurt by Arturo Gatti because Gatti climbed into the ring over 20 lbs heavier than him(was it Joey Gamache?)

If a fighter blows up that much after a weighin, he's probably doing himself harm just making the weight. And then by stepping in the ring with a large weight advantage he's effectively a full divison or more larger than his opponent. In professional boxing this is very dangerous.

Somewhere along the line Alvarez's camp was hiding his difficulty making the weight and or thought things would go smoothly. Somewhere along the line a costly miscalculation was made as well

 

the fight is ruined. ima watch strike force instead.

 

If Alvarez gets his first loss from Hatton, I'm going to laugh at all the idiots who are going to use this as an excuse

 

Why?

 

there is absolutely no proof to show that pac actually limited the fighting weights of both dlh and cotto nor that this was actually written in their fight contracts. according to his own trainer, cotto actually rehydrated 13 lbs. to 158 so that he outweighed pac by about 10 lbs.

if this is true, then why did pac allow margo to rehydrate from 150 to 165 lbs for their fight and outweight him by 17 lbs. the margo fight clearly debunks and dispels any truth about these so-called "rehydration clauses" in any of pac's fight contracts.

all of these are just trumped up like those PED accusations by haters who want to tarnish pac's legacy so as to uplift their own favorite fighter's standing.
