Question
I was wondering what is the average length of time between weigh in and the start of your fight in amatuers.

Answer
At a local show, you can weigh in anytime between 9 and 11 a.m. and box anywhere between 1 and 4 p.m.  At a tournament, you will weigh in at 7 a.m. and if there are double sessions, you could box anywhere between 1 and 4 p.m. or not box until 6 p.m. or later.
