Alvarez-Lopez 7-Day Weigh-in Results.
This Saturday (September 15th) Josesito Lopez takes on Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez for the WBC light-middleweight championship of the world. Lopez will be moving up in weight for the second fight in a row but it seems like he will have no problem making the weight.
Both men had to weigh-in on Saturday (September 8th) for the 7-day weigh-in. The fighters had to make sure that they were within five percent of the 154lb light-middleweight limit. This means they had to weigh 162lb or less. We were all thinking that 'Canelo' would be the only one that may have had trouble making the weight as he is the naturally bigger man and a big light-middleweight. However, Lopez actually weighed in slightly heavier than 'Canelo'. The official weights were: Alvarez - 159.8lb & Lopez - 160lb.
So to sum it all up, there should be no problems with the weight for either fighter and I don't actually think there will be any size advantage in this fight. If you look at Lopez, he is probably a natural welterweight or light-middleweight. He has been fighting at light-welterweight for most of his career but showed in the Ortiz fight that he can handle stepping up in weight. One thing we know with this fight is that weight and size will not be an issue.

Haye-Chisora: Weigh-In Coverage
At 3:00pm today (July 12th), David Haye and Dereck Chisora went face-to-face for the final time before their highly anticipated grudge match at Upton Park on Saturday. The two men met at the Odeon in Leicester for the weigh-in for their heavyweight title fight.
There were never really any worries about the weight as you all know, there is no weight limit to the heavyweight division. The 1000+ fans that crammed in to watch the two top British heavyweights weigh in, were not there to check if they made the weight. They were there to see the two most controversial fighters in British boxing at this current time, go face-to-face and trash-talk each other for one last time.
Both men weighed around their expected weight but there was a little surprise when we found out that Chisora, who looked in good shape compared to usual, was 37lb heavier than Haye. 'Delboy' weighed in at 237lb and the 'Hayemaker' tipped the scales at just 210lb. Both men looked in shape, although Haye did look in slightly better condition.
The only thing left to do now for these guys is to have it out in the ring, solve their problems and settle the score once and for all. The trash-talking is finished, the bragging is finished, the stare-downs are finished... It's time for these two men to climb in to the ring and just FIGHT! They are Licensed To Thrill!
