By Dan Ambrose: The beaten Andy Lee and his team are looking to get confirmation that WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. was drug tested after his win last Saturday night for performance enhancing drugs.

Chavez Jr. failed to get tested before the fight because he reportedly couldn’t produce any urine when they attempted to test him. It’s unclear whether Chavez Jr. was tested after the fight.

Emanuel Steward, the trainer for Lee, wants the Texas Commission to confirm that Chavez Jr. was indeed tested after the fight.

Additionally, Steward is also worried because of Chavez Jr’s weight gain after he weighed in last Friday at 159 pounds. On the night of the fight, Chavez Jr’s weight wasn’t given, although HBO analyst Roy Jones Jr. said Chavez Jr. looked to be close to 180 pounds.

Unfortunately, it’s perfectly legal for a fighter to balloon up after they weigh-in for fights. For this to change, boxing will need to install weight limits for how much a fighter can gain after they weigh in so that you don’t have a fighter putting on 20 or pounds and dwarfing the other fighter in size.

It’s actually surprising that this kind of thing is allowed, because it gives a fighter a big advantage if he can put a ton of weight on after the weigh-in. It’s like having a cruiserweight fighting at middleweight, because the light heavyweight division limit is 175lbs, and if a fighter is weighing 180, we’re talking a cruiserweight against a middleweight.

They used to have weigh-ins on the day of the fight, but they stopped this practice because too many fighters were getting hurt from being too weak after making weight. However, there definitely needs to be a rehydration limit so that it’s more of an even playing field for both fighters.

If you have one guy that only rehydrates as little as 5 pounds going against a guy that has put on 20 pounds, you’re going to have a problem there. Don’t hold your breath waiting for the sanctioning bodies to install a rehydration limit, because it’s probably not going to happen until someone gets hurt by getting manhandled by a bigger fighter.
