The skeptic in me expected as much.

It amounts to a half-assed, token effort by Jose Sulaiman, who for years has been known for his outrageous bias in favor of Mexican fighters... and who is buddies with JCC Sr., which means that protecting Junior is definitely in his best interests. I also agree with the writer. It's a good idea gone terribly bad. Does it surprise me? Not one bit. Nothing this ancient mummy does is surprising to me. Which is why the reins need to be taken from him, and replace him with a young, objective, knowledgeable person who actually gives a shit about boxing and not just his Mexican cohorts.

This 10% shit is a slap in the face to those of us who want meaningful improvements in boxing.

I'm not really sure what I felt about bringing in same day weigh ins in the first place, but I agree that this is pointless. Sad thing is, it will probably still pose a big issue for Chavez Jr, has his fight night weight been released for any of his last few bouts? I wouldn't be surprised if he has been weighing a good deal more that 16 pounds over in the ring lately, the guy is a huge middleweight. I'd rather see them actually test him properly without question marks before and after the fight.
