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!

Below are some pictures captured at today's weigh in:

Chavez Jr Vs Lee: Controversy at weigh-in

Chavez and Lee face-to-face at the weigh-in.
Yesterday (June 15th), the weigh-in was held for the WBC middleweight title fight between Julio Cesar Chavez Jr and Andy Lee. Both fighters made the weight (Chavez 159lb, Lee 159.25lb) and everything seemed to be going smoothly. But then a problem occurred.

Lee's handlers weighed their fighters gloves to ensure to everybody that they were 10oz gloves to make sure that everything was fair and there were no silly advantages. However, Chavez and his team refused to weigh theirs. According to Lee's team, they made an official request to Texas Commission inspector Robert Tapia but he refused and said: "I'm the boss here. I say whether or not we are going to inspect the gloves and we're not going to."

Perry Mandera (Lee's manager) claimed that he then went over to Chavez's trainer Freddie Roach to reason with him and ask him to weigh his fighters gloves but once again they refused.

"He pushed past me and said 'we don't have to, so we're not going to," explained Mandera. "They brought their own gloves and we brought ours," said Mandera, "so we thought in the interest of full disclosure and a level playing field, we would weigh both pairs. We weighed ours out in the open in front of everyone. They would not put theirs on the scale."


Team Lee claimed that the only reason that they mad the request was to ensure that everything was fair so that there would be no excuses.


"We just want everything fair. I don't know why they wouldn't drop the gloves on a scale to remove any doubt about a pair of gloves they brought themselves," said Mandera. "Yes, it's a new pair, but you ever buy a pair of shoes that say size 10 and they're not? That's all we were trying to resolve. So why won't they weigh the gloves?"

This is certainly a strange decision from Chavez's team and the commission but I don't believe that there is any foul play involved. I think that Team Chavez may just be a little worried about the fight so they are playing mind games and trying to gain as many little advantages as they can.

Pacquiao Vs Bradley: Weigh-in results

Pacquiao & Bradleey side-by-side at the weigh-in.
The weigh-in for the superfight between Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley took place yesterday and the atmosphere was unbelievable. You could have been fooled into thinking that the fight was taking place right then. Anybody thinking that this fight wasn't attracting as much interest as the usual Pacquiao fights do were given a shock when the doors opened at the MGM Grand for Friday's live weigh-in.
Pacquiao looks away during stare-down.

More than 5,000 enthusiastic fans crammed into the venue to see all of the fighters on the show weigh in. And the fighters didn't disappoint. The face-off between 'Pacman' and 'Desert Storm' was intense! Bradley tried to intimidate Pacquiao and even when the Filipino looked away, he continued stare straight forward. 

Both men looked in fantastic shape and both made the weight (all weights are listed below). Bradley showed off his fantastic physique and a lot of people who had never seen him before were shocked at how incredible he looked.

Weigh-in Results:

Manny Pacquiao 147lb Vs Timothy Bradley 146lb

Jorge Arce 123.5lb Vs Jesus Rojas 123.5lb

Mike Jones 146.5lb Vs Randall Bailey 146lb

Guillermo Rigondeaux 122lb Vs Teon Kennedy 122lb

Froch Vs Bute: Weigh-in Coverage

Froch and Bute ready to fight!
Tomorrow night (May 26th) we will witness one of the biggest fights of the year in Nottingham. This fight consists of the IBF super-middleweight world champion Lucian Bute and former WBC world champion Carl Froch. Today was the weigh-in for 'No Easy Way Out' and the atmosphere is already heating up and it's starting to feel like a big fight weekend.

Both men received huge applause when they stepped onto the stage but surprisingly, there was more almost more noise for Bute than there was for Froch. All you could hear when SkySports aired live was chants of "BUTE... BUTE...BUTE!" from over 500 fans that have flown to England to watch their man defend his title.

Froch was first to step on the scales and he weighed in at 11st 13lb 5oz. He looked in top condition and gave his fans a little roar once he realised that he had made the weight. Bute followed shortly after and he tipped the scales at 11st 13 12oz. He also looked in great condition and the fight was officially confirmed as a championship bout as both men were comfortably under the weight limit.

The face-to-face was intense but both fighters had smiles on their faces. 'The Cobra' looked as if he was hyped already and just could not wait to fight in front of his home crowd in Nottingham for the first time since 2009.

Make sure you do not miss this fight! It is set up to be one of the closest world title fights of the year, and both men want to prove that they are the No.2 super-middleweight in the world. They may even believe that they are No.1...

'Ring Kings' - Weigh-In Results, Details & Quotes...


.

The day has finally come! Floyd Mayweather Jr Vs Miguel Cotto and Saul Alvarez Vs Shane Mosley... It is expected to be the one of the biggest nights of boxing in the past 100 years. Something that supports this argument is the capacity for the weigh-in. Over 5,000 fans were there just to watch the fighters step on the scales. That number of fans is more than most prizefights attract.

Anyway, we will have more hype and build up for the fight later on, but now we will just give you all of the details and results from yesterday's weigh-in.

Alvarez and Mosley both looked in very good condition for as they walked onto the stage. Mosley was the first to step onto the scales and to his astonishment he was 1/2lb over the maximum weight (154). He was given an hour to shed it off. 'Canelo' weighed exactly 154lb and he looked stronger and healthier than he ever has before. Even for the chief support weigh-in the atmosphere was amazing. But, you could tell when
Mayweather and Cotto had entered the room. The crowd went crazy for both fighters although there were some boo's for Mayweather.

'Money' Mayweather was first to step on the scales and he weighed in at the heaviest he has ever been in his 42 fight career, but he seemed very happy to see 151lb come up on the scales. Cotto tipped the scales at 154lb and he looked a little dry which means he may have struggled to get down to the weight.

When the two fighters went face-to-face we finally got a bit of the trash-talking and tension we have been waiting for during the build-up to this fight. Neither of them moved a muscle for around a minute (except for Mayweather's vigorous chewing of his gum) until finally Mayweather opened his mouth and told Cotto what he has told every other fighter that has stood infront of him. "You can't beat Floyd Mayweather baby!" At first Cotto just shook his head but then after a few more harsh words from Mayweather he started to talk back. At one point it looked as if we were going to see the two of them have a fight 24 hours early until they were seperated by the entourages.

In the interviews with Max Kellerman both fighters had a lot to say. Mayweather told Kellerman that he felt comfortable at the weight and that Cotto looked a little 'dry'. Cotto claimed that he will give Mayweather all he can handle and more and that he had never been more ready for a fight.

I am personally very excited for this fight, more than I have been for any other fight this year, and what makes it even better is that we also get to see a few other great fights before the main event (Irish Prizefighter, McCloskey Vs Corley, Huck Vs Afolabi and Alvarez Vs Mosley).

Saunders Vs Hill: Weigh-In Results and Quotes

Hill (left) and Saunders (right) go head-to-head outside the Royal Albert Hall.
Tonight (April 28th) boxing returns to the Royal Albert Hall for the first time in over 13 years. Headlining the show is Billy Joe Saunders Vs Tony Hill for the Commonwealth middleweight title.

At the weigh-in yesterday Saunders weighed in at 11st 5lb and Hill tipped the scales at 11st 6lb on his second attempt as at first he was 1/2lb over.

Here are what the two fighters had to say about their weights and their upcoming fight:

Saunders: "I've had a great training camp for this fight and I feel fit, strong and ready. I'm not reading too much into him being overweight. I've got my plan to beat him and I'm sticking to it. Let's see if he can back up his pre-fight statements about me not being in the ring with anyone of any note. I'm looking forward to being crowned the new Commonwealth champion."

Hill: "It was only half a pound and when I weighed in half an hour later I was spot on. I'm ready for Saunders and whatever he brings to the ring tonight."

Co-headlining the show is Matthew Hall Vs Sam Webb in the final eliminator for the British light-middleweight championship. They both came in at 10st 3lb.
