    You're missing the point. GGG had less time to rehydrate completely because he had to remain within the restrictions of the IBF. Jacobs didn't and actually had much longer due to the earlier weigh in. If it was no big deal, then why didn't Jacob's do the 2nd day weigh in? And why would the IBF then amend this rule to eliminate any handicaps?

    Answer: Because it gave Jacob's an unfair advantage in between the weigh in and the fight. No one is saying he cheated (well I'm not) but he definitely benefited from not having to be restricted by a weigh in the next day.

    I'm not sure how many have had to cut weight, but it can be a b-tch, even for someone who makes 'comfortably' it ain't that comfortable. Then you know you still have to have restrictions on your intake for the next day, while your opponent is free to have a few meals and rehydrate completely.

    Jacob's definitely benefit by not having to do the way in the next day.
