In the world of professional boxing, making weight is a critical aspect of preparing for a fight. For Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis, their highly anticipated bout at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas featured an added wrinkle, a 10-lb rehydration clause fight day weight check. Both fighters needed to be no higher than 146 lbs maximum or face a fine for each pound over the limit.

While the bout will take place at a catchweight of 136 pounds, their rehydration clause prevents both fighters to gain over 10 pounds before fight night. Both Garcia and Davis came in at 135.6 and 135.1 pounds respectively. However, the rehydration clause will especially affect ‘KingRy’ who is the bigger fighter and would easily gain over 10 pounds if there was no rehydration clause. So let us take a look if he was able to make weight within the clause.

Ryan Garcia’s second weigh-in results revealed

It was a critical moment for both fighters, as their ability to rehydrate after the weigh-in would impact their performance in the ring. Garcia made the weight limit with his second weigh-in, coming in with a pound to spare for the Davis fight. He weighed in at 144.9 pounds which was under the 146-pound limit.

Garcia’s ability to make the rehydration clause weight limit with ease is a testament to his dedication to the sport. Making weight is a challenge that requires a strict diet and exercise regimen, and Ryan Garcia’s ability to do so while maintaining his strength and stamina is a remarkable feat. It shows that he is focused and committed to giving his best performance in the ring.

Vasyl Lomachenko believes the rehydration clause will give Gervonta Davis the edge over Ryan Garcia

The former lightweight champion thinks that the clause will be another reason why ‘Tank’ beats his rival. Lomachenko, who has fought larger opponents in the past, believes that the weight clause will favor Davis. In an interview with Boxingsecene.com, he revealed that Garcia was too big for the division and that this clause will give ‘Tank’ the advantage he needed to win.

“It is one more thing why Gervonta Davis can beat him. I think Ryan Garcia is very big for 135,” he said. It remains to be seen whether Davis will be able to take advantage of the weight clause. However, Lomachenko’s insights add to the intrigue and provide fans with additional context to consider as they prepare for the highly anticipated matchup.
