from link:

Catchweights can also be agreed to save a fight if one fighter fails to make the cut at the pre-agreed weight. If a lightweight fighter comes in at 136lbs, he may take a financial hit, and also give up any title that was on the line. But if the two want to fight nevertheless to ensure they fulfil their obligation to put on a show, a catchweight of 136 lbs may be used.

Another example may be when a fighter wants to fight within a traditional weight class, to challenge for a particular belt, but is only willing to do so if his opponent agrees to a non-traditional limit within the division. That could be because a smaller-framed boxer does not want to give a taller fighter a weight advantage. A welterweight pair may agree to fight at 145 lbs, for example.

Anyone think boxers would put up with some 180 lb fighter self-identifying as a 135 lb fighter? That whole ‘self identifying thing is bullsh*t. It’s time to stand up to the sexual weirdos...

And it is ALWAYS a one-way street — men pretending to be women in physically demanding sports, but never vice-versa.

It is so weird that we have to put up with the sexual weirdos doing this.

This is obviously a plot to further the destruction of the West. One of their goals is to get people to disbelieve and deny reality.

A man the same weight as a woman can usually obliterate her in a sports competition.
