Its common sense really.
Knowing they would only have to fight hours later, fighters would d=drop less weight than now. If fighters entered the ring in the state they turn up to weigh ins now, they would never expect themselves to stand up in a strong wind let alone win a fight.
For example look at the pics of Cotto at the weigh in and the fight. You think if it was a same day weigh in Cotto would of turned up like he did for a day before weigh in and try to fight like that only a few hours later. Even in a sport with a high number of uneducated competitors, you wouldnt find many people that would try that.
The day before weight in was not to the benefit of opponents, it was for fighters who drained themselves to the very last drop, then had to rehydrate hours before the fight. Please neve rmention common sense, there is no commonality to sense. This makes sense to me, but not you.
If you only have hours to rehydrate, you are bound to be in worse condition.
