Now that the weight class is being selected automaticly we have Koba Gogoladz now listed as a Jr. Welter, the most he has ever weighed in a fight was 135.5 of course that was his last fight. HOW STUPID IS THAT?
Nobody fights at the exact weight if there not fighting for a title. We now have World Rated Fighters listed in a weight class above or beyond the class in which they are rated in. Box rec needs to go back to the editors selecting the weight division.
weight class
Lightweight "limit" = 135 lbs
Lightweight limit + ? = 135 lbs
Does he wish to be rated as a ligtweight should he exceed that formula? I expect so and see no reason why he shouldn't be....but the fact is 135.5 lbs is in the Lt. welterweight division and should be reported as such, and his rating should be in the Lightweight division. Reporting fight results and rating fighters have always been and should continue to be 2 different things.
