quick question re heavyweights

[margaret thatcher]

do they actually have to weigh in?

[THEBUTCH]

I suppose they do if it's a title fight, but then again I should imagine they could still challenge for a heavyweight belt even if they were under the Cruiserweight limit

I'm not sure if Nicolai valuev had an official weight recorded for his fight with Neil Kirkwood (if I remember correctly). I believe he broke the scales or something like that.

It's merely part of the buildup. Obviously not necessary other than tracking data.

[ThereByTheGrace]

A very good and obvious question.

[ThereByTheGrace]

Makes you wonder if they can "opt out". Keep it a mystery until fight night.

I like it and ive never thought like that. Must benin the contracts to weigh in. Good topic

[JamesPhilips]

It’s part of the show. Also important for betting purposes.

[KiwiRider]

We need them to weigh in. If Andy Ruiz hadn't weighed in before the second Joshua fight, he would have never found that taco hidden in his under arm/side boob fold

but like, do commissions require them to do it so they can track that data for whatever reason?

even at the lowest level shows with hardly any promotion, with hws obviously way above the limit, they still are weighing in

How else could EO post his "size matters" vids with such proficient accuracy?

[ThereByTheGrace]

Can anyone clarify the RULES on this?

[Fray Bentos]

Yes.

[My T Sharp]

Yes.

That explains why there are so few women heavyweights
