Because of the 24 hour weigh-in, it gives fighters the opportunity to fight in a weight class he doesn't qualify for. Same day weigh-ins, remove the temptation to use unnatural methods for making weight in a lower weight division.
If the arguments of the proponents for the 24 hour weight-ins were actually true, we would have the same system for amateur boxing and Olympic events. In any event the 24 hour weight-ins defeat the purpose of defining a weight class in the interest of fairness and competitive matches.
Yeah I see what you mean about the weight advantage but a recent example of a fighter NOT gaining a weight advantage is ODLH. He made the weight of 147 with a couple of pounds to spare and on fight night was still under the 147 limit and we saw what good it did him, he was just awful.
The thing with Oscar was he had to use an IV Drip to rehydrate himself. IV drips are used to treat people who cannot rehydrate orally. You have to ask yourself why he couldn't rehydrate orally. Maybe making a weight that he hadn't come close to maing for a good few years had a big say in it.
