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.
