Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Sergio Martinez hit the scales in Las Vegas tonight ahead of tomorrow night’s HBO pay-per-view main event. The two have developed quite the rivalry since the bout was announced and surprised the boxing world.
Chavez Jr. Vs. Martinez Weigh-In Results: Martinez 159, Chavez Jr. 158
Martinez checked in at 159 pounds while Chavez was at 158.
The crowd at the weigh-in was solidly behind the young Mexican superstar, cheering him on and booing Martinez loudly. The two engaged in a staredown after making weight and talked a little trash, but there was no shoving or anything extra that could have been an issue.
The fight tomorrow should be a good one, with odds close to a pick ‘em and two talented fighters with styles that could turn out to be quite complimentary of each other. We could even be looking at a fight of the year level clash.
