Ain't rocket science here dude..
Weight (up to) IBA
91+ kg (200+ lb) Super heavyweight
91 kg (200 lb) Heavyweight
81 kg (178 lb) Light heavyweight
75 kg (165 lb) Middleweight
69 kg (152 lb) Welterweight
64 kg (141 lb) Light welterweight
60 kg (132 lb) Lightweight
57 kg (125 lb) Featherweight
54 kg (119 lb) Bantamweight
51 kg (112 lb) Flyweight
48 kg (106 lb) Light flyweight
This is Olympic (Amatuer) catagories.
Note: pro boxer middleweight is 160 and super middle is 168.
Different organisations can have different weights.
If you weigh 75 kg now you should drop down to 69 kg for a fight and "rehydrate"to 75 for the fight.
If you walk around at 75kg. you'll end up in the ring with a guy at 80+kg.
The existence of weight divisions gives rise to the practice of weight cutting. It is generally considered an advantage to be the largest individual in a weight division, therefore some athletes will work hard to lose weight through dieting and dehydration prior to weigh-ins.
Remember you have "about" 24 hours AFTER the weigh in to gain back water weight.
This is becoming a BIG issue in pro boxing now.
As boxers will take huge health risks to "make weight" then come to the actual fight 1 and even 2 weight classes higher.
Maybe a weigh-in at the time of the fight would be a good idea ,but what happens when a guy doesn't make weight 2 minites before a fight starts? Big issue!
