That’s good. Especially now cause I’ve noticed recently when they show the tale of the tape they dont show the fight night weight.

I doubt we will ever see it again unfortunately. Same day weigh ins never should have been taken away. All it’s done is allow guys who have good genetics to come in the next day 10-15 pounds heavier and beat up on smaller guys. I do believe it is true that the fighters feel better. It isn’t quite true that you can’t rehydrate well and fill up your muscles with glycogen in 24 hours. You can do alot in 24 hours.
I honestly believe that it’s alot easier for the A side, which is usually the guy who comes in 12-15 pounds rehydrated looking like a monster, to cheat…..and thus there is no real incentive for any org to change it.

They should definitely go back to same-day weight ins, but Suliamian wont have anything to do with it. At least in the US. It will be up to each individual State Boxing Commission as to which day they do weigh ins…..

Unless and until all these belt orgs have unified rules, boxers will pick and choose which belt they’d rather have.

It should be done just before the fight. Even 24 hrs ahead is dangerous and cheating…
