Need to bring the weigh-ins back to the day of the fight and stop all this re-hydrating crap.

Would cause huge upheaval but it's absolutely necessary.

Maybe but they wouldn't be able to do it to the extremes that boxers and MMA fighters are doing it now.

Exactly, it would be impossible to make any serious weight gain advantage without hampering performance.

Tough one on the weigh ins,
You either boil yourself down the day before to rehydrate to a much bigger weight on fight night, risking what happened above
Or
Boil yourself down to the day of the fight and risk not rehydrating properly for the fight putting yourself at greater risk in the fight.
Sensible to suggest same day weigh ins but fighters will seek every advantage.
Much more in favour of what an earlier poster said about having a safe weight range for fighters to be at 1 week from the fight, then have day before weigh in to check, then on the day official weigh in. This would have fighters fighting at the correct weights.
I'd concede that as far as build up and spectacle goes day before weigh ins can work with limits imposed on what fighters can gain before heading into the ring.
Boxing is a dangerous sport and all measures should be explored to make fighters as safe as possible heading into the ring!

Is there any way of watching the Taylor fight through Virgin Media?

Assuming you don't have Sky Sports, best option is probably either a day pass for Now TV or finding a dodgy stream

And have people passing out? Not suggesting there's an obvious solution, but the status quo is pretty terrible tbh
So what's the schedule for tonight then?
