Showtime Championship Boxing Weigh-in Results: All 6 Title Fighters on Weight
The Chelsea Ballroom inside the magnificent Cosmopolitan Las Vegas
will be the site of Saturday night’s Showtime Championship Boxing
tripleheader. With three of the four junior middleweight world
titles at stake, it promises to be a memorable night of action
inside the squared circle.
At Friday’s weigh-ins, all six of the main-card combatants made weight, giving the event the green light for the fistic fireworks. In the main event, former Cuban amateur world champion Erislandy Lara will put his WBA title on the line against Vanes Martirosyan.
Fighting in his second world title bout, the Armenian-born
Martirosyan (36-2-1, 21 KOs) was the first to step onto the scale
and he nailed it, weighing officially at 153.75 pounds. Lara
(22-2-2, 13 KOs) wouldn’t disappoint as he checked in at 153.5
pounds.
In the co-main event, Houston’s Jermall Charlo (23-0, 18 KOs) will put his IBF 154-pound crown and unbeaten record on the line against former world champ Austin Trout. The Las Cruces, N.M. has been saying for months that he has re-dedicated himself to the sport and at the weigh-ins, he looked better than ever. Trout (30-2, 17 KOs) tipped the scale at 154 pounds. Charlo, meanwhile, came in at a ready 153 pounds.
Finally, Jermell Charlo (27-0, 12 KOs) will take on John Jackson (20-2, 15 KOs) for the vacant WBC junior middleweight belt. Jackson weighed in at 153.5 pounds while Charlo came in at 153.25.
