Yoel Romero made weight in my book.
It's 0.2 pounds, which in the past and present would have been allowed, in a title fight, depending on the location, and always allowed in any other fights.
The difference in opinions amongst regulatory bodies over different locations may and does exist, but it does not provide a universal criteria for making weight, but for allowing certain requirements to be met before the fight is given a green light.
0.2 pounds out of 185 pounds would mean that
Romero weighed in 0.1 percent, not 1 percent or 10 percent, but 0.1 percent heavier than Whitaker.
