A Call for Return To Same Day Weigh-Ins

Rick, I've been saying this for years. If you weigh 147 for the 30 seconds you're on the scale, but weighed 158 (or better) a week before, and again on the night of the fight (or more), are you really the welterweight champ?

i concur completely. same day way ins not only equal safety for the fighters but better fights all together. that means fighters will be fighting at their natural weight and wont fade or gas out so quickly. look at shane against floyd, shane hadnt had to make that weight for 18 months due to inactivity, so after 3 rounds he was gasping with his mouth open like his head was barely above water and he was trying not to drown.

NO! NO! NO! No returning to the same-day weight ins. Too many fighters died from quickly over filling up themselves with water doing those days. Water used wrong is dangerous on a combatant's body and brain. Somebody, other than me, oughta holla. I remember when I was a tweeny I saw a fighter die in the ring at the famed Olympic in L.A. Dude have not drunken water for three days to make weight, then made the weight and gulg down the water like an elephant. This caused swelling of his veins. And when he was in the ring getting hit, those veins burst wide open inside of his skin.

TSS West Coast Chiefy David-Double-A was there. He can probably tell you better than I. Less fighter have died in the ring from water-related injuries since not having to weight in and fight on the same day. Holla!

These knuckleheads and even the eggheads need to STFU and leave the game along. There are more people with this and that who have never even seen boxing than there ever will be with the people who box or boxed. "Leading physicians" are usually leading liars and just need another adventure, and to keep getting their meddling on. Muthasuckas just like to double fudge with __ ___ __!

According to leading researchers, 100,000 people die every year because of a lot of leading physicians' mistakes, misdiagnoses, and straight-up malpractice. More than 400,000 more people are taking out by the run-of-mill, low-skill doctors who don't report their killings. None of these covert killers in labcoats know syet 'bout bokin,'" biting off the words of Uncle Roger May.

The top guns of non-meddling leading physicians will tell you that the suckas who are getting this and that are/were probably pre-conditioned to that condition, meaning life was going to be served that jive, boxing or not. [Heredity and genetics are taking these fighters down IMHO, not exposure to getting wacked upside the noggin too many times. And, besides, how many times are too many times?] Fakers and slick-money takers talk monkey jive day and night about how GOAT Ali was probably damaged in dat squared jungle, but they tell you nothing about his late pops, who never boxed and/or participated in any upside-da-head sports or work, developing "Parkinson's disease. And what about his late moms who developed dementia and Alzheimers?

For every fighter that you find suffering from the damaging affects boxing, you can find 10,000 or so real F***UP people, who woulda and coulda been better off by getting the syet knock outta 'em boxing style a few times than getting messed up by meddling doctors, who are in that game to just get paid -- largely paid. Hehehehe!

C'mon, guys, don't blame this and that on da hurt bitnezz! Possible damages come with the territory and paid. These doctors need to go and change and __ ____ ____ the house of their own profession. Holla!

Not a good idea. boxers will still dehydrate no matter what. they will not have enough time to be properly hydrated by fight time on the same day. more concussions and deaths will happen. the solution is to do a weigh in the week before. no more then 10 lbs or get the hell out of the weight class.

I agree 100 %. alot of arm chair fools on here
