Quit b***hing about catchweight fights!

Legendary thread!! :good

 

:amen

 

The bigger problem I would say is not catchweight but the fact fighters are allow to fight over the limit on fight night. That's a bigger problem. If fighters would abide by the weight limits on fight night, then I would see catchweights play smaller roles to prevent fighters from abusing the limit.

 

I read through some of the insults people were posting on that thread last night, some funny stuff. That thread deserves to be bumped actually...just incase anyone missed it, or for any new comers to the forum...it could be used as an example of how not to word a thread.

 

Also people are only viewing catchweight through the eyes of the bigger fighter. Catchweight were invented so the little guy don't have to give up so much more weight to take on the big guy. Leveling the playing field more fairly. We want a fair matchup, both sides is giving up something to make this fight. As long as the catchweight is within the weight division than it's fair and qualifies for that particular division. I prefer no catchweight to be honest, but because bigger fighters tend to go over the limit on fight night, then you need something as a catchweight to limit the extra weight they will regain on fight night.

 

Never thoght of it that way, just when i started to get upset about pacs new demand, but then again the LIMIT IS 154 AND ITS BEING DEMAND to be at 150 creating a new LIMIT. But the way you put it convinces me, im all 4 it:good

 

yes but you should be allowed to weigh 154 if one chooses to do so

bottom line NO TITLE NO PROBLEM

 

1. A fighter using financial leverage to get another fighter to drain himself still devalues the fight, whether both parties agree to it or not. Rockgloves isn't in a position to decline. He'll earn a career high payday.

2. No, but a catchweight is a catchweight.

3. Yes, the limit of the Super Middleweight Division is 154lbs and people can weight less. The problem is when people use catchweights to drain other fighters which makes it easier to lay a meaningless beating on them.

 

You mean: " Quit bitching about Pac" right?
