Re: Same day weigh ins will get people killed
This is what i believe aswell. 24 hours isn't long enough to rehydrate somebody effectively enough to compete for 12 hard rounds after a period of severe dehydration.Originally Posted by Scrap
Go any longer on the window and the weigh in comes pointless.

Re: Same day weigh ins will get people killed
...boxers taking advantage of the weigh in's to fight little guys will get someone killed. You take the risk to gain the advantage you take a chance...

Re: Same day weigh ins will get people killed
what do folks propose?
How ever you work it people are going to try and work the system to get the most advantage over the other guy. I'm not suggesting we stop trying to improve safety.

Re: Same day weigh ins will get people killed
Heres something to think about, which weight class has the seriuos KOs which weightclass get hit the Hardest. Which weightclass has the least serious injurys, the question is WHY.

Re: Same day weigh ins will get people killed
I can see how same day weigh ins might make it more dangerous for guys cutting a load of weight to try and fight in a weight class they are too big for but to be honest I think that's fair enough.
Is it really fair that some of these massive wiry type guys can get be allowed to get down to a weightclass where they will be fighting much smaller men and then having the benefit of rehydrating with a 14 lb fight night weight advantage.
My attititude is that this makes the sport safer for the little guy, or more accurately the guy who is in his natural weight class and is fighting someone who really shouldn't be fighting in the division at all.
My biggest concern with same day weigh ins would not be fighter safety (fight in your own damn weight class you cowards!) but rather the fact that many more fights might get pulled on the morning of the fight becuase one fighter doesn't make the limit
