    Default Garcia loses title on the scales.

    As a fan I feel let down a bit. It was two pounds. Perhaps he was going to 130 anyway but its still unprofessional.

    I don't think it's accidental anymore. Wonder if he weighed in with that stupid huge hat on?

    Does garcia have a history of missing weight? I'm fan of the guy but two pounds is still two pounds to many

    Disappointing. I liked the look of Garcia but i sounds like he might have a touch of the Guzman about him in the discipline department

    A return to same day weigh-ins would take care of this bull$#!t.
    Same day weigh-ins worked fine for over a century till the mid-80s and Dr. Flip Homansky's terrible desision to push for day before weigh-ins. Just a few years back, Flip reversed himself and would like to see a return to same-day weigh-ins because he can see he was wrong, and could not foresee how fighters would try to take advantage of this. I don't know how this educated fight-doctor couldn't foresee that; fighters are opportunistic, give them an inch, they'll take a mile.

    On a same-day weigh-in, you fight in the weight class you belong in, and NOBODY dehydrates 18 lbs on a same-day weigh-in and fights for a Title that they're actually 3 weight classes above which is the norm nowadays. It's a miracle they don't land in the hospital and can fight at all after enduring such severe dehydration...

    I think he has a couple of times, one a last minute sub and some stepping stone trinket. Also pretty sure he outweighed a shot Pastrana by at least a flyweight. Its a joke, and a bad trend now. Trinket jumping made easier complete with training wheels.

    Dam that sucks if that's the case, surprised tho since this is the first I've heard of it and been following him for a few years.

    Lol a horse could wear that hat.

    I agree that this seems like the new normal lately when someone is going to move up. Boxers are very cognoscente of the fact that boxing fans have short memories.

    I wouldn't have a problem with the fifty different weightclasses we have now if people actually fought in their weightclass, I mean what they're doing now defeats the whole purpose. You got welters coming in as super middles, middles coming in above lightheavy....

    My bro was furious, we buy tickets and going to take train to see the fight and the guy doesn't even bother to try seriously even Broner tried a 2nd weigh in, I'm done with Mikey.
