^This.This just show how bad that call was. If Yoel was in such a weakened state that the commission had to stop his weight cut, then the fight should have been called off as well. That's what was done when a commission stopped Holloway's weight cut. It's the logical thing to do. Interrupting the weight cut and allowing the fight to go on makes no sense if the weight cut was interrupted for health reasons in the first place.
I think fighters need to start sending a message to these commissions...to stay out of it...let the fighter do what he has to do to make weight...mind your business...more fighters need to do this...commissions might be far less eager to step in next time..
Doctors didnt stop his cut, idiot
Just a small fine for the extra hours would be better, not for the final weight miss, but the chance to extend weigh-in period.This what I’m thinking as well. Talk to much, so they planning play the system. Commission only has say she heard what they was planning to do, So she made him weigh in. Then dumbass told the whole world what they was planning on doing.
Which commissions should put stop to it, people doing this. Miss weight first time it’s 25%. If you need 1 hr to make it’s 50%, the full 2 hrs make it 75%. If you miss weight on the two mark 100%.
That will make people stop missing weight.
Yeah, he has been claiming that fighters want the old system back, "they are not morning people" lol, talking about how to make your fighters look unprofessional, i remember every documental on Canelo and other boxers on how they wake up really early to go running, and now Dana say his fighters wake up late so he has to move weigh ins later so they dont miss weight...Yet every fighter whn asked they like the current system better.He won't need to anymore. 4 pm weigh ins are officially back per Dana.

Every fighter media has been asking, i saw some interviews with ufc 225 fighters all of them liked early better.Every fighter wants early morning weigh ins? I saw Eddie and some other fighters complaining but that doesn't mean every single one of them want it.
I doubt Mayweather would want to wake up at 6 or 7 am to weigh in. He goes out for runs and to the gym at 2 am sometimes.

While I get what you're saying, the point I'm making is it undermines the rule toIt is if it's the rule they have in place
Risky business after missing weight twice for your last fight..That is how it works, though. Wrestlers do it fairly regularly. Even at very low level high school wrestling meets people use the window. Romero is a wrestler. He's likely done it before a number of times.
I generally don't like gaming the system - which the whole premise of weight cutting is to begin with - but it's not too terrible. Kind of undermines the point of having a weigh in time though.While I get what you're saying, the point I'm making is it undermines the rule to
a) purposely miss weight with the intention of using extra time
b) come out and publicly admit that they had no intention of making weight during the initially scheduled weigh-in.
Yea sounds like an unfair situation if true. But who knows with these people. Neither the commission nor Romero or his manager scream credibility.I mean, if their account of the situation is accurate, he should. But I'm not going to rush to judgment claiming these are the most credible people in the game.
