Darren Till actually cheated at the Weigh-In

[Krixes]

I just tried it on my digital scales and it does change it by about a pound, I have no idea how in the hell that changes things. It may not change things on that scale though.

 

[Big Dawg]

I would do a handstand on the scale. Makes you 12 lbs lighter.

On a crappy digital bathroom scale it might make a difference.

On any digital scale it can make a difference because of physics.

 

[Meathead Jock]

It can work in theory but you'd have to have access to the scale before hand to know if it would work.

When I was in high school our scale had a section that if you distributed your weight more on you could lose a pound.

On 95% of decent scales what he is doing won't result in weight loss. Unless his heel is making contact with that shirt or towel then maybe he shaves off a tenth or two, not a full pound like DC who exerted a lot more force onto something besides the scale.

I'm surprised nobody got on the scales with a large bouquet of helium ballons. You can wear your shorts, why not balloons?

He’s a cheat like Cormier. Knew he was going to fuck up and tried to game it. Like maybe on a pro electronic scale he could get .5 lb but any doctor would tell him to stand properly

 

[Bookerman]

Probably didn’t change anything on a scale of that quality, however he sure as fuck did that in the hope it would reduce his weight

 

[TemDee]

He definitely tried to cheat, but those types of scales don't work the same way a 20 dollar digital scale does. Was worth a try, I suppose.

Or I should say, they work the same, it's just that they're designed to disperse the weight evenly no matter the surface area of the object weighing in.

 

[KilledByDeath]

Till is too arrogant with his words to be getting himself in these situations.
Not a fan.

 

[TheScorpionDude]

It makes a difference.

The scale detects weight when the platform pressures downward in a 90 degree angle.

If you do it with one foot you alter the angle of the pressure meaning the platform will have more left or right wall friction which will remove a couple of pounds.

You would achieve a similar (more or less) effect of you stand more to the left or right side.

 

[Philtard]

This is blatantly trying to manipulate the weighing scales.

This should be looked into by the commsion.

How'd they not pick up on that?

Because it was in Till's backyard? I dunno it was pretty blatent. The Wonderboy family will be watching his feet close tomorrow during the weigh-ins i'm sure.

 

[Johnsonville]

I did it at the scale at the gym this morning and it changed about 2 pounds. It's one of those manual ones where you slide the things but I also have reason to believe the thing is a piece of shit

~DaViD~

 

[Sparky]

If this was not an attempt to get the preferred numbers then someone should tell Wonderboy that Till has an ankle injury so severe that he cannot stand correctly.

 

[Tuf_guy]

Edit: just tried it myself and weighed 1.2 lbs lighter ...

Wait, so how you just gonna create a thread calling him out for cheating if you did the exact same thing?

 

[SamboPunch]

ban him for life

 

[rudy4pl]

Yes it will. And don’t talk physics to me. It works because it fucks how the mechanism detects weight, pressure is dispersed differently and affects sensor readings. A mechanical scale could also be affected by how the leverage works.

Stupid example as this is nothing like it. I still wouldn't be surprised if standing at the edge of the scale gives off a different reading due to the how the sensor works.

 

[Unheralded Truth]

As you probably know, when weighing in he clearly had one foot off the scale, just touching it with his toes. This cheat can make you around 2 lbs lighter, and yet Till missed the 171 limit with 3.5 lbs?!

Holy shit. What a fraud this guy turned out to be. Obviously too afraid of losing on his home soil.

Should he be allowed to fight at WW again after this? Personally, I think blatant cheaters need to be punished somehow.

Agreed New name.....Tilldick

Always entertaining when 5'5 sun shy sherbros call professional fighters cowards.
