    Yeah, but mundine does have 30 hours to recover. The time frames your study was referring to are not what professional boxers are subject to.

    To be honest I prefer shorter weigh in times. I really think that the extended weigh in - fight time is poor judgement.

    What I am saying is, with the extended periods between weigh ins every athlete tries to make the most of it. They will dehydrate the **** out of themselves to make weight and come in 5kgs or more over the weight limit on fight day.

    Some federations in america have a 3 day weigh in which is safer as everyone should be adequately hydrated, but on weigh in day the guys are walking around in a daze, dehydrated to **** nearly requiring hospitalization and then on fight day they are 3 weight groups over what they should be fighting at.

    I guess thats fair enough for highly motivated well paid, professional adults. They will all be doing the same thing so there is no relative advantage.

    but people want those kind of time frames introduced for kids. What if some poor kid doesnt know or isnt allowed to do it but the other kid is? then you have a MW potentially fighting a LH.

    Its nuts.

    With shorter weigh in periods people wont be as stupid with their dehydration tactics, because if they do they wont be able to perform properly and get ****ed up in the fight.

    At last night's official weigh-in, both fighters tipped the scales under the 76.2-kilogram maximum weight limit, with Mundine 75.1 and Soliman 75.2.

    Its 2kg FFS, he will make it easy. And wont be drained. People just say whatever to bring The Man down.

    It dont matter anyhow, he schooled the great aussie hope and thats all that matters.

    And stuff Kessler, he has his chance.

    That wasn't the real weigh in, it was designed to get on the 6 o'clock news.

    Funny how a couple of kgs is nothing to you now, but you wouldn't shut up about the difference in weight between Kessler and Mundine when they fought, you ***git :yep

    i remember someone posting on here that mundine walks around at about 5kgs above the midde weight limit. so its not impossible if that is the case.
