Canelo/GGG II Weigh-In

I see both points, but then if they cannot make the weight why do that. I think the same day would prevent guys like Chavez fighting too big.

 

What time is the weigh in?

 

Exactly. If the boxers didn't have an extra day to hydrate, they wouldn't dry out so much. The doctor that was instrumental in getting the same day weigh-in changed later admitted that he made a mistake.

 

Yeah it would be nice but fighters are always looking for that advantage and will still cut weight.

 

I didn't know this, have you got a link?

 

Sorry, I don't have a link but this topic has been discussed on here before. The doctor worked for the NSAC. It may take a little work but google should eventually lead you to the article. I believe it was a discussion on the pros and cons of the same day weigh-in.

 

Canelo will keep one foot on the floor and the other one on the scale.

Bob Bennett: '160 even!'

 

He is significantly smaller this time, I don’t think he wouldn’t make weight.

 

"159.3" for realism.

 

I see the point, but it then changes what real weights are.

 

I don't understand what you mean by "real weights". I think the fighters using same day weigh-in were fighting closer to their natural weights. In the "old days" of same day weigh-ins, you did not see fighters putting on 15-20 pounds after the weigh-in and before the fight.

 

You travel back home via the MGM grand?

 

that is what I mean real weights. if you can put on 20 pounds in a day something is not right.

 

Should start in minutes
