DALEYS WEIGHT CUT

to me this is bull... Whats going to stop the bigger guys in each division to not dehydrate if they know they will only loose 10% of pay and will likely feel better and perform better fight night. hmm if i walk at 195 watch my weight during training and 3 days out weigh 185 why not just cut 10 lbs in 2 days come in overweight and make 27k instead of 30k and feel better by not straining for the cut. I could possibly win more with bonuses.

the problem with that is that your opponent might not agree to fight, obviously because of the disadvantages you described.

He was just 2 pounds over then he got 1 more pound off plus I think he took the fight on short notice. LOL At least he didnt come in 7 pounds over like Rumble. That fight probably should have been called off.

i am probably over reacting red but to me its a form of cheating. I used to do a cut from 195 it sucked but if i didn the work i could have the advantage fight night. Sometimes the last few lbs are the hardest and drain you more if you dont have to cut them your at a distinct advantage.

I bet Hazletts wishes today he wouldnt have took the fight lol.
