Ivan Buchinger can at least partially rejoice before the title fight. Even if he doesn’t get the belt, he is sure that his opponent won’t hold it either.
The popular “Buki” went to the scales right after Barborik. When he saw that his opponent did not weigh in for the first time and that he was not in an ideal mental state, he called himself a professional and took a dig at his younger colleague.
While Buchinger immediately weighed in on the first attempt without any complications, Vojto Barborík did not meet the weight limit on the second attempt. He weighed almost half a kilo more. So he lost his chance to win the title.
Only Buchinger will fight for the championship belt. But he must win. Barborik will fight only for his honor. He didn’t look good at the weigh-in and it’s a question of how he’ll recover in time for the fight.
It should be mentioned that Barborik really has nothing to lose now, so he could be all the more dangerous in the fight if he can get his weight together after a grueling fight.
