Can't really compare a natural welter who came in the ring at 147 and was still pretty undersized at 160 to a guy who drains himself to make 160. It's not like Griffith was one of those guys who regularly fought and beat dudes the size of Janibek, either. How much does Janibek come into the ring at?
He passed out getting down to 162 a couple years ago, so I'm just going off the average rehydration weight for middleweights his size. Canelo rehydrated to the 170s fighting at 154 https://www.boxingnews24.com/2013/0...ut-fight-mayweather-bout-out-of-the-question/
No worries. I've collated a substantial amount of data on day before weigh in to documented fight night weights and had never found anything for Janibek, so was just curious. FYI, the average increase is about 8.5%, so about 173-174lbs fight night weight for MWs.
That sounds about right. Janibek is taller and longer than Bivol, and had problems making weight in the past, so he has to be huge for a middleweight
Appreciate I'm nit picking here, but going off their respective listed heights and reaches, Bivol is slightly taller and marginally longer. At 5ft 11.5ins, with a 71.5ins reach, Janibek's dimensions are about average for a modern day MW.
Yeah your right I remember him having a 75 inch reach, but on camera he looks huge. I don't know what they were wearing but Bivol likely had on dress shoes based on his suit This content is protected
