Yoel Romero made weight in my book

[LUDELOW]

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.

fuck your book

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

Yes, but deep down inside, we’ll all know the truth.

What a terrible way.

Terrible way.

Good luck to both.

 

[Horriblehim]

Soldier of God gonna take it!

 

[TysonandKhabib]

People need to realize, that 185 pounds is already the upper limit. You are allowed to weigh less. Romero gambled to come in as heavy as possible and fucked up. Maybe, after not making weight the last time, he should have targeted 184 pound. <{chips}>

 

[Dontfight]

At least he really tried and the difference is insignificant to give him an advantage (unlike some previous blatant weight-missers) so we'll have a fair fight

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

Title fight or not they should have to weigh the same, dumb as hell allowing people in regular fights to weigh 1lb heavier. Everybody says the last pound is the hardest and if you're not used to making championship weight who knows whether you even can.

 

[Juventud]

It's funny how much Romeros fans let him get away with.

He's obviously been roiding for years and his fans don't care about him missing weight in championship fights.

I bet you they're the same idiots who trash fighters for "fighting in smaller weight classes to get an advantage"

Hypocrites.

 

[TheAmericanGazelle]

Anyone trying to excuse Romero in this situation should be shot in the face, with their seed wiped off the face of the earth.

That's not an exaggeration. This missing weight shit needs to stop, and enablers do absolutely nothing to help the problem.

STFU.

Yoel Romero doesn't weight much more than Whittaker....Whittaker is a huge fucking middle weight, they are around the same size.

 

[Conor McGrammar]

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.

So it did something?

 

[Juventud]

Romeros retarded fans acting like he weighed in 0.2 over at weigh ins.

He still weighed 0.2 over 1hr45 mins after he should have made 185.

 

[Juventud]

STFU.

Aren't you a Colby dickrider?

No wonder you're retarded.

Whittakers never missed weight.
Romero gasses out at 185. He's obviously too big.

WTF are you talking about dumbass? Some people can cut more weight than others...Meaning if a fighter can't make weight, it doesn't mean that they are too big for the weight class as in they weight too much for that weight class...It just simply means they can't cut the fucking weight.

They are basically the same size...They are cutting the same amount of weight....Except whittaker is younger and can probably cut better than yoel...So no, Yoel is not physically bigger or weight more than whittaker.

The biggest guy in the middleweight division was probably rockhold...He simply had the skill/genetics to cut a shitload of weight....What happened to him? He got KTFO by Yoel when yoel didn't properly train because of the short notice.

 

[TDD]

I dont feel bad for Romero im a huge fan but he missed weight, i feel bad for Robert who doesnt get to defend his Title, and i dont even know if he will get PPV points. At the same time fans are making a big deal about it. 0.2 is nothing and to pretend that there is any advantage is stupid, i feel like if it was another fighter the outrage wouldnt be this big. Yoel gets shit for stool gate, but barely anyone mentions that Kennedy held on to his gloves and thats how he rocked him, seems kinda like a double standard. Some people said bad things about Till missing by 3 or 4 pounds but there wasnt this huge of a outrage. Romero is older and he probably couldnt lose more, who really thinks he didnt want to make weight. Having said that, Yoel should move up, win or lose, if he had trouble this time, next time is only get worse, he should move up for his own safety.

I’ll do you one better. If this was Yoel’s first time missing weight, for a title fight, there would be hardly any outrage at all.

Still wouldn’t be for the title, because you know... rules.

But it would be fine.

Yoel gets shit for stool gate, but barely anyone mentions that Kennedy held on to his gloves and thats how he rocked him, seems kinda like a double standard.

It is literally constantly brought up that Tim held the glove. That’s why “stoolgate” didn’t actually go anywhere. That was a pretty scummy fight, and everyone pretty much agrees that both guys were in the wrong.

Though, Romero fans still insist there wasn’t anything nefarious going on. Soo.

Some people said bad things about Till missing by 3 or 4 pounds but there wasnt this huge of a outrage. Romero is older and he probably couldnt lose more, who really thinks he didnt want to make weight.

Dern was destroyed for missing weight.
Till was lightly roasted, probably because he hadn’t done anything too egregious before that (this was his second missed weight though, wasn’t it?)
People are just, in general, tired of fighters appearing as if they don’t care about their weight.

If Romero can’t make the weight, multiple times, he shouldn’t be trying to fight for the title. That’s enough to anger some fans, knowing your body can’t do it (based on the previous failed cut) but going through with it anyways.

I do believe that he cut the amount of weight that he wanted to. I think he just expected another pass.

Having said that, Yoel should move up, win or lose, if he had trouble this time, next time is only get worse, he should move up for his own safety.

I agree.

That’s not generalizing at all

Rogan and SoG were talking about the Commission screwing with SoG’s weight cut process. Is there any validity to this?

 

[PEDS Help me Post]

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

 

[Lemmy]

I don't know how popular this will be, but i am delighted. Fucking delighted!!!

I am delighted that homophobic, cheating, stool sitting, PED taking, weight missing clown will not get the chance to wear UFC Gold.

Misses weight by a significant amount against Rockhold and is rewarded with a TS anyway. Now he misses again and will miss out on what I can only hope will be his final shot at the title. I love it- Thank You Karma for working overtime.

Now, if Bobby Knuckles just goes ahead and starches him anyway, that would really cap it off.

f ag detected.
