Mauricio Lara should be heavily fined and suspended for missing weight that drastically

I highly doubt it's a WBA rule. The sauna stunt they pulled with Casimero certainly wasn't an WBO rule. It's their own. Very few people cared about the Casimero situation because he is unlikable, but they screwed him.

 

There's no conspiracy and Lara knows he must make weight safely. There's also precedent.

From BBoC doctor in 2018: "We have strict guidelines on the rate of weight loss over a period of time and also the amount of fluid that we will sanction people losing at the end to make weight (two per cent). The fighters know that and they know where they are on the weight cut at all times." https://britishboxingnews.co.uk/blo...ctor-on-the-dangers-of-extreme-weight-cutting

Also, Paul/Rahman got cancelled because Rahman wasn't going to be allowed to do a dangerous cut.

There is one person to blame here - Lara.

 

I havent looked into it. Why i stated “if” . If that is not published then its total BS cause they are then making up the rule on the fly.

 

It's amazing how awful the BBBoC really is. They managed to find a way to screw both fighters at the same time. It's just awe-inspiring incompetence.

 

Oh, that changes things a bit.
But it´s still unfair to Wood. He had to make the weight while Lara got a pass.

This just proves we need same day weigh-ins back.

 

From the WBA:

They have nothing about how much a fighter can weigh days before the official weigh-in(like the WBC). This was the BBBofC doing their pre weigh-in medical and they decided Lara was risking his health.

I am pretty certain the WBA had no say in this.

 

Shannon Courtenay.

Lara wasn’t even allowed to make the weight.

 

The bbbofc title wasn't on the line. They simply sanction the fight if it takes place in Britain. It wouldn't be unheard of for the WBA to stipulate a fighter must weigh "x" amount at several check weigh in throughout camp

 

WBA don´t have that rule either.
