Yoel Romero made weight in my book

[cooks1]

What did homophobic people ever do to you ?

So what if they are scared of teh gays? Everyone has the right to be afraid. Why are you such a bigot ?

Also, Whitaker is getting knocked the fuck out.

Unfortunately it was the way I was raised. I was brought up to be prejudiced against prejudiced people and I have never been able to shake the habit.

I bet Romero tries to not even fight. Tries to push for a reschedule or something.

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.

but the rules are 185.0 so he didn't do it. yoel knew the rules and failed to obey them.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Some people here care more about fighters making weight than fighters fighting <Lmaoo>

So true

 

[anuscakes]

majority of the time you can weight in at 185.2 and still fight for the title. That's the point I was making.

Actually that rule was just made up that night for GSP. And that wasn't even a US athletic commission, so they can basically do whatever they want. In every US athletic commission the requirement for any championship fight is .0 right on the dot.

Not true actually, every comssion sets their own inetpretation of what exact weight is. Hell even vegas, home of the UFC sets their weight at .4 and rounded down, so even if Yoel and GSP both faought that night in vegas they would be considered on weight.

But by all means, hate away, don't let truth get in your way.

Cheers.

What words in that article lead you to believe they just invented that rule for GSP, that night?

Vegas follows the rules of the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts just like every commission in the US where championship bouts cannot be even one ounce over the established weight limit.

Your book sucks tbh.

Again, not true.

Keith Kizer and Nick Lembo went on the record with the weigh-in standards for the Nevada and New Jersey state athletic commissions respectively.

In Nevada, added Kizer, the scales used go up and down by .2 pounds, so 170 pounds, 170.2 pounds and 170.4 pounds would be rounded down to 170 pounds and be considered to have made weight in the welterweight division. A fighter at 170.6 pounds or 170.8 pounds would round down to 170.5 pounds and be given up to one hour to lose the necessary weight.

In the state of New Jersey, which features another influential athletic commission, common practice includes making exact weight (or less) for championship bouts.

Nick Lembo, counsel for the New Jersey Athletic Control Board, said on Tuesday that his agency “will allow one pound over on a contract weight, unless the promoter denies such allowance. However, the caveat is that most promoters want major title fights to be dead-on weight. Thus, 170 becomes exactly 170 or less.”

In previous UFC events in the state of New Jersey, UFC officials did not request a one-pound allowance for championship bouts, added Lembo."

I'm guessing your reading comprehention isn't great? They even allowed them an extra hour to weigh in for no reason other than GSP was sick. The whole thing was shady being referred to as an "off the record type thing". But the main thing that leads me to believe that they just invented that rule for GSP that night is because it isn't an actual rule that they abide by any other time past or present.

You've come to this conclusion because you don't know what you're talking about.

You think the Quebec Athletic commission has never run these rules before? They were changed this night? Or you never heard of them in the UFC?

Have some standards.

You know none of those guys have worked for an athletic commission in years. The rules that were in place then aren't in place now and even then those rules you just brought up aren't listed anywhere. Both of these states now follow the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts thus proving my point.

I think you might want to take your standards advice on your own behalf. You should look this up. You're free to believe what you want but facts are facts.

That quote was taken at the time that the controversy happened, so unless they were changed my point stll stands. All I am saying is that comissions determine what 170 or whatever weight is calculated, and some are not exact on the dot.

You're one of those pussies who is always cutting corners n blaming others for your failures hey TS

I'm not sure if you understand your own point. This commission isn't in the US, it can do whatever it wants. Neither of those two guys you quoted have anything to do with commission rules in Canada. And yes the rules have changed that was over 5 years ago. And if they follow the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts then they don't decide the weight.

Perhaps you can source me where they changed this ruling? As far as I have found each comission makes their own determination of how they define making weight, and all I have found is that some comissions consider .4 to be making weight as they round down to 170, and some comissions they have to be exact on the dot 170.
