Has there been any confirmation if there is a next day weigh in required? Im hearing conflicting comments but cant find official confirmation
Thats right...this ain't no unification fight at all. Should be a weigh in....but they've already said it aint happening.
Who ever wins this fight becomes or remains the unified Champion. How is it not a unification. The reason for the change of rule according to the IBF is because a fighter will skip the 2nd weigh in since he is still fighting for other titles.
unification noun noun: unification; plural noun: unifications the process of being united or made into a whole. GGG's titles are already unified. This fight is not part of that process. I get what your saying but the wording is incorrect. The IBF should be saying multiple titles, not unifications because this bout doesn't qualify as a unification.
OMG, are you guys seriously that anal. LOL The point of that rule is so that they continue to be part of the mix so they can get their sanctioning fees, otherwise some opponents will be content fighting for the WBC, WBA, or WBO and skip the IBF.
Like I said I know where the IBF and yourself are coming from but by definition this is not a unification.
OK, but the point of the rule remains, not sure what the problem is. IBF wants to be in the mix, so instead of getting sidelined in title fights where more than one ABC organization has their belt up for grabs, they are simply getting in line with the other ABCs so that they don't run the risk of not being in the mix. Not sure what all the fuss is about.
