What Does Weigh-in Means?
In every fight, the boxers always underwent weigh-in to see whether or not they reach the limit weight in their category. In any sort of boxing, a weight class is a consistent range of weight for all fighters. The limit for an upper weight for every class is the least limit of the next much higher weight class. Moreover, the top weight class without an upper limit is known as super heavyweight in amateur boxing and heavyweight in professional category.
For any boxing fights, they are normally slated for a fixed class and every weight of a fighter must not surpass the upper weight limit. The weight of an amateur boxer must not be fall under the least limit, even if professional boxers may go into a battle even on top of their weight class. On the other hand, a non-standard limit for a boxer is known as a catch weight.
Furthermore, pro boxers usually weigh over between bouts than at their fight scheduled. Part of the procedure of their training for a fight is getting down to battle weight. Bear in mind that weigh-in occurs before any bout. Each boxer normally stands on the weighing scales barefoot and without wearing gloves. This is also sometimes a picture opportunity and each fighter or even their staff may do some trash talks with each fighter.
This portion is like a respected portion to build up any heavyweight fighters to go through the traditional of weigh-ins although there is no boundary to be deliberated against. On the contrary, a catch weight may be consented for an individual fight and sometimes even for championship fights. However, championships are only given at the standard classes of weights. For instance, when Manny “Pacman Pacquiao fought with Miguel Cotto, they used a catch weight of 145 pounds and this was authorized by the World Boxing Organization (WBO) as a title fight for welterweight. Welterweight is only limited in 147 pounds.
