Manny Pac Man question????

The limit was 140 he weighed 134.

 

You can weigh up to anything under the limit, just not over. That is obvious.
But setting a catch weight does not remove a fight from the boundry of a weight class.

 

JWW fight at 140.... and?

 

If that was the case then there would be no such thing as a catch weight.

If a fighter cannot weigh in at the max of the weight limit they are fighting at. Then a major title should not be on the line.

 

That was my point, that you don't have to weigh between the "range" to fight at a weight.

He weighed 134, which LW is 135... and JWW is 136-140...

You don't have to weigh in that range.

 

Yes.... so how does that mean anything with catch weights??

You can fight a heavyweight at 196 if you really want to, you just can't weigh more than the limit.

 

The catch weight sets a limit, whatever limit that division falls into is the weight class.

If the limit for a fight is 166, that fight is super middle weight class.
