Even though fight is for 155 title:
Both must make < 161.0 for fight to occur
As long as fight takes place, the title is not dependant on both makign 155 weight. Whoever does, is eligible to win the title, who ever doesnt make 155 is not eligible.
So dont sweat to much on max's weight, max probably isnt either.
I think for max, a better chance at winning the fight only (but not belt) by avoiding a draining weight cut is better for him than draining himself to become eligible but then being more likely to lose
