Top lightweight contender Keyshawn Davis came in 4.3 pounds overweight for his title defense against Edwin De Los Santos, sparking debate about the need for a rehydration limit to prevent weight issues. Davis’s trainer and friend Terence Crawford downplayed the issue, claiming Davis “outgrew” his weight class. However, fans see this as a strategic move by Davis to gain an edge in the fight. With some calling for a six-pound rehydration limit, others believe Davis is being a “weight bully” who should be fighting at 147 or 154 pounds. The debate raises questions about fairness and safety in boxing weigh-ins.
