Yoel Romero made weight in my book

The fight was in Montreal. Check out detailed post above about how they don't really follow this rule.
Quebec is the province Montreal is in but yeah I seen your post. Maybe boxing it's different? I'm not sure. I know they did allow gsp to do it tho and that was the reason given back then
 
You should call the UFC and the athletic commission. Maybe they'll change their minds.
 
He made weight by not making weight. Makes total sense

i'm not sure if you read over this. I agree with the sentiment that yoel fucked up here. he knew exactly what he needed to make for this particular fight. But I also agree with the point TS and some others here have made, just because some fighters were listed as 185 in previous title fights doesn't mean they actually weighed less than Yoel's missed 185.2, some commissions round down whereas others such as this one don't
 
When you're finished with your book, you should give this one a go...

The salt will be extra coarse on Sherdog when Buffer announces, “AAANNNNDDDD NNNEEEEEEEWWWWW...UFC...Middleweight Champion of The World...YOEEEEELLLLLL...”SOLDIER OF GOOODDD”...RRRROOOOMMMMEEEERRROOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
well if its such a minuscule, insignificant amount of weight WHY THE FUCK DIDNT YOEL LOSE IT AND MAKE WEIGHT LIKE A CHAMPION?

GJ ROMERO!
 
I would normally disagree, but since the commission shortchanged him in time by about an hour I’d say you’re right

The commission screwed him over
 
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.

Problem is that your book is filled with pics of naked black dudes.
Luke Thomas wants to borrow it when your done.
 
No doubt he fucked up. Also, considering very recent history, 0,2 lbs is fucking miniscule.
 
Even if they alot a percentage over for champion fights, it's still the same. There's a number and you gotta make it.

You do know that there is literally zero possibility that will happen, regardless of the fight outcome, right?

So many of the people mad at the Brown guy for killing himself getting within .1% of the limit cry Hillary when their orange dummy violates the constitution.
