There was a re-hydration clause, Cotto was drained

[CHOWWOKKA]

Looks like team Cotto seemed perfectly fine with it.



But then you realize the article simply states "allegedly" Roach said this or that.

You can quote Cotto all day saying he was fine with the weight and I can quote Cotto saying that he wont sacrifice his body again. =/=

Do you honestly expect a boxer to say something like "I feel weak at this weight and I regret taking this fight and now I have to go through with it..."

How rare is it that fighters admit that they aren't 100%

That's for the official weighin jacka$$, how many times have you posted this and had it explained?

once and no it isn't

[Bring It On]

At the weigh-in, YES!

The ignorance by *****s baffles me, there are STILL multiple people saying Pac fought ODLH at a catchweight for example.

[Earl-Hickey]

this is just trolling at this stage.

That is for the weigh in, that quote from Roach is about the weigh in!

Well...this is embarrassing for you

Pure ******ity there is no way Cotto could even manage that.

The only fight where I even heard solid rumours of rehydraton clauses was De la Hoya, and I think that was not true either, think Oscar just could not put the weight back on because, yes he was severely drained.

You talk off ignorance lol , when a contract states a fighter from one weight class must weigh in at a certain weight or another weight class , then its a CW , if you want to get technical its a Contracted Weight , doesnt matter what it is , the point of a contractual agreement on weight is a CW .

There's no chance Oscar had a rehydration clause

1. nobody can impose this on him, esp not a guy that had nowhere near his pull yet.
2. Pac was heavier by 1.5lbs, if there was a clause there's 0 chance DLH was gonna be under by 1.5lbs+.
3. do you think for a second DLH would not have leaked this after the very humiliating career ender against a midget he was widely favored against? The crossdressing guy that makes announces an announcement that he's still retired?

So not only was Ortiz Berto a CW, so is Ward Dawson, Floyd Cotto, Hopkins Tarver, Jones Ruiz, all catchweights. Doesn't sound too bad (except Ortiz Berto, 146?!), you'll have to find a new word for whatever Pac's doing. Which sucks, cause Pac moved up 7+ times, that's 7 juicy catchweights automatic. Per your precise definition.

What did Cotto weigh in at on HBO's unofficial scales on fight night?
