Comments Thread For: Devin Haney, Vasiliy Lomachenko Make Weight For Lightweight Title Fight Saturday Night

[sidefx996]

i honestly dont even know what time they normally take place at so cant even comment really

it was just a bit odd reading its taken place and not seeing any vids or photos, but maybe thats just the way this one is reported, someone will clear it up im sure at some point

Agreed. Maybe someone who knows more than me can comment because I guess I always assumed the "weigh in" we all see was the actual weigh in lol. Was this something special or does this go on all the time.

lol this fake second weigh in is news to me

so when a fighter fails to make weight is the screen up shorts off thing all fake too lol

trying to squeeze every pound off can also backfire on people, i think teo went too far and he ended up close to death (or so he says), its all good until something goes wrong, it only takes a few %'s in the ring to swing a result

It affects recovery, which I’ve said in the past. Another reason I wanted to see the shape Haney was in from the cut. See if it’s worth the odds on a stoppage.

As far as I know, this is the fourth one that I know of.

Teo/George
Haney/JoJo
Tank/Ryan

hoping it’s not new

Thank you. I don't know, just seems like they may need to start reeling this stuff in a bit. Zurdo made 175 and he came into the ring at 204 against Boesel. If I remember correctly Danny Jacobs made 160, blew off one of the belts and supposedly came into the ring at like 185-190 against GGG. And I'm not picking on these guys I'm sure there's a list of others. I don't know what's worse-coming into the ring much bigger than your opponent or possibly getting yourself sick or killed trying to make weight. I guess that's why I get paid by the hour and these guys are on ESPN...

Idk I think Teo got screwed cause the kambosos fight got postponed 3 times. Took up a whole year

thats true, i think teo got covid and having asthma too im sure may not be the best combo, maybe that fecked him up a bit too

Stop making excuses. If he makes weight, hes a LW.

I wouldn't point hte finger at Devin in particular unless it was his team that stipulated doing the weigh in this early but as a general principle I want to see fights decided on the basis of who is the better boxer and fighter rather than who can gain the greatest size advantage by rehydrating more. It's the rules of the sport that IMO need overhauling - and I've said this over and over - not the fault of the individual fighters who take advantage of the rules as they stand.

[YOU WILL LOSE]

fraudulence in every corner of society going on right now.
,people like the haneys know what they did and that nobody did anything about it.,in fact it was encouraged
anything to get them over the finish line,whatever it takes

With the second day weigh in, it wouldn't have helped Ryan much if at all. Teo and Haney though, an extra 7 hours for fighters who are just able to make weight must be helpful. In Teo's case, not helpful enough, apparently.

I'll just say I don't like it. Whatever the established rules are, everyone should be following them to the letter. NO special accommodations for anyone, particularly in title fights.
