Re: Gennady Golovkin v Daniel Jacobs - 18/3/17 MSG
Believe it or not, I think we'd have a lot more deaths in the ring because some of these fighters are ignorant or take chances (at least at first) in trying to rehydrate in a few hours. Hydration is more about what you drank yesterday than what you drank today. So some of these dudes would cut like crazy and then water log them selves after the weigh in only to discover their body can't absorb it as fast as they are drinking it. They'll piss like a race horse and wash away they're electrolytes unless they're eating like crazy too. They'll walk into the ring still dehydrated and be more prone to bleeding on the brain from their brains rattling around in their skull like a marble in an empty canteen .
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
