It KILLS me that somehow the ability to cut weight has become a boxing talent.
WTF does THAT have to do with boxing?
Same day weigh-ins as close to fight time as possible. Force fighters to weigh in within 1% of the weigh-in weight 3-4 times in the last two weeks before a fight for safety reasons.
Of course that doesn't work with late replacements and we have to figure out how to penalize guys who miss weight (money) and when they aren't allowed to fight at all. Maybe if they are over 1% but under 2% in the run up weigh-ins they get fined. If over 2%? Not allowed to fight.
