Yoel Romero made weight in my book

[Gutter Chris]

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.

Was Yoel unaware that if he didnt make 185 on the dot that he could not fight for the title ?

your book can say whatever it wants it doesnt make it so

Rules are rules.

True, but it is weird that they aren't universal rules. In Canada he is following the rules but in Chicago he isn't?

Imagine if other major sports had such large differences for important games. Itd be like moving the 3 point line back 2 feet in Cleveland but keeping it the same elsewhere in the league.

It is unfortunately that depending on what commmsision he was fighting under he would have made weight. Vegas allows .4 I believe, Quebec .9 though I believe New Jersey is also 185 right on the nose with no allowance.

wrong answer

 

[suffersystem]

Yes over 0.2 should be allowed

So 185.2 becomes the max weight for MW title fight, in fighters eyes

Fighter weighs 185.4

"Its just 0.2 over cmon!!!!!"

See what I mean?

The pint though is that ALL comission's should really have a unified ruleset. If this fight had been in Vegas he would have made weight, as they allow up to .4 to be rounded down and considered 185

Lmao how are people making excuses for that fat fuck? Make weight or fuck off to LHW. It’s not like it’s the first time he missed weight either. Really unprofessional and I feel sorry for Bobby who actually made weight and was ready to defend his title.

Fat fuck? Lmao you’re retarded

 

[Gervais]

The fact that we gonna miss out on a great fight because of 0.2 lbs is bullshit

 

[krelianx]

And what book would that be?

 

[Chubz]

Well you are a pathetic piece of shit

So who cares

 

[IDGETKTFO]

How does it feel knowing he will never be MW champion?

 

[AndrewSUFC]

He didn't make weight. Your book doesn't count. Don't mean shit, son.

Not what I said.

It's like saying, well 185.2 pounds isn't allowed, so 185.0 shouldn't be allowed either, no. It's .2 pounds after all.

If this sound stupid, and it does, it's really similar to saying what you were saying, which you intentionally did to prove your point, but which didn't really do nothing.

No dude championship weight is the save in every commission. You have to to be right on eight no one pound allowance. It’s his second time missing too, you sound like a pussy.

 

[Zefram Cochrane]

So who cares

 

[PirateTetra]

Fat fuck? Lmao you’re retarded

Yup, because i meant it literally. It’s not like it’s pretty common to call fighters that miss weight fat...

 

[imbossing]

Im glad he didnt make weight. He is a Cheater

 

[Weidman]

At least he's a champion of something.

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

Your book SUCKS

Except that 185.0 IS the weight goal, not 0.2 over.

Until the "Unified Rules" are fully unified, not much we can do about it.
