I note WB was not 170 either, will he just be given time to shed the last pound or does it not matter as it’s only a pound over?
Depends on the commission. Different places will have different rules.
yes to be considered on weight, but I think TS is talking about being allowed to fightIsn't 1lb for non title fights universal?
Yeah, I think so. But for fights in general, different commissions will have different rules. For instance, since Dern weighed in a pound under the next weight class up, that fight was allowed to go on. If she would have been one more pound over, the fight would have been called off.Isn't 1lb for non title fights universal?
All weight classes have a 1lb allowance for non-title fights.
As for being over the limit... some commissions will call the fight off if you are more than 3lbs over, I believe.
As Jackonfire said, different ACs different rules.
For example the Quebec commission allows all fighters whose names start with George and end with Saint-Pierre to come in way over weight. Seems very specific, but hey...
