: Agree with Cilian; no one would ever say this. "Initial" needs a corollary if you want to use it like this.

weigh-in weight
“We give them a specific fighting weight, which is 2-3 per cent over their weigh-in weight,”
http://www.fightingfitmagazine.com/nutrition/Article.asp?Art...
No contestant may engage in a contest where the weigh-in weight difference between contestants exceeds the allowance shown in the following "WEIGHT ALLOWANCE" schedule:
http://tx.eregulations.us/rule/title16_chapter61_sec.61.105
They would have the weigh in weight and then the "un-official scale before the fight" weight.
