Joan Guzman Rehydrates To 148 Pounds!

That is certainly possible. Guzman may have weighed in with clothes and shoes to come in the next day weighing 18 lbs heavier.

In any regards, he looked much thicker in the upper body and arms than Soto was!

 

He was....Guzman was at least 143. He has ALWAYS come in like this.

 

It seems strange that neither made the weight at the first atempt yet it took soto longer than guzman to get the weight off before being re-weighed.

 

it makes you lighter:roll:

 

so what? weighing at or below 130 at the weigh in is all that matters. if you want to go in at 135, 144 or 148 at fight night is entirely a fighter's decision. there is no rule that prohibits this. don't hate the player, hate the game

 

that's true. bioth those guys have nothing left at the weigh in. but that is just how boxing works.

 

If Guzman had lost, people would say its cause he was weight drained, but now that he won, people are saying its cause he put on so much weight.

boxing fans really suck sometimes

 

Does anyone actually know why boxers weigh in the day before a fight and not on the night?

 

because if they dehydrate and rehydrate on the night of the fight just to make weight then they face a greater risk of getting injured.

 

But if that was the case wouldnt they just go up to where they don't have to dehydrate. Fight at their natural weight?

That way they won't get injured.

 

Exactly.....I dont think anybody here is blaming the fighters.....we're asking for boxing to do something about it.

Quite frankly, I want to see matchups between two evenly matched fighters that are actually fighting within the same ballpark when it comes to being on weight!

.....that is'nt happening as the weighin rules exist today.

Some individuals are able to cut weight and dehydrate themselves to extreme levels and come out the next day hydrated, prime, and ready.
......far more fighters are'nt able to do it that way. For what ever reason, their bodies cannot stand to be put through those rigors.
......these types of fighters work hard, train, and do it the right way.....only to have to possibly get in the ring unknowingly at a severe weight disadvantage.

By weighing in on the same day of a fight, we're looking at both fighters pretty much weigning within the same ballpark, resulting in better more evenly matched fights where one fighter is'nt at an advantage over the other.


All this about it being safer to give fighters 24 hrs to rehydrate is bull****.......the great majority of fighters are not going to go through extreme measures to dehyrate the extremes that are being done now if they know that they're going to be stepping into a ring in a few hours.

You make it fair to both fighters by having weighins on the same day of the fight!

 

Is that the fight where Gatti hits him with an uppercut then lands two big bombs as the guy he's fighting is already ktfo and falling?

What actually happened to him if it is him as i seen this KO on a highlight reel and he looked a bit ****ed up?

 

Exactly!.....most did and would fight at a weight that was safe for them.....
.....but there is a few % of morons that ruin it for everyone, they'd dehydrate severly even on the day of the fight, and fight on fumes on the day of the fight.

....but at least in this case, the fighter is punishing himself by risking dehydrating himself that severely to make weight.
.....as it is now, the fighter who does it the right way is the one that is being punished, as he is at a severe disadvantage weight wise at fight time.

Boxing should be making sure that fighters who do it the right way are benifited, not the other way around!:huh

 

Man, I don't know if that's actually bad. The sad fact is, I'd watch straw weight more if there actually were midgets fighting in it. :!:

 

that's true. i think that there should also be limits on the weight of the fighters at the day of the fight itself. i.e, 130 at the weigh in and no more than 137 at the day of the fight or something like that to lessen the advantage of those who rehydrate quickly.

if morales and pac fought at the weigh in in their 3rd fight. iit would not have ended inside three rounds but because of morales' age and pac ability to recover quickly, he dominated.
