Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley are always in shape, and today was no different. The two fighters comfortably made weight for their welterweight (147 pounds) main event Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, which is being advertised as the final fight of Manny Pacquiao’s storied career.
Pacquiao vs. Bradley 3 weigh-in results: Fighters on weight for Manny’s advertised final fight
All of the fighters for Saturday night’s big HBO pay-per-view card are good to go after making weight Friday.
Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38 KO) weighed in at 145½, with Bradley (33-1-1, 13 KO) a pound heavier at 146½. The two have already met twice, with Bradley winning a highly controversial decision in 2012, and Pacquiao getting clear revenge by decision in 2014.
This fight is not for any official world titles, but the World Boxing Organization (WBO) has created a fancy new belt with lots of diamonds on it for the occasion.
SB Nation will have full live coverage tomorrow night for Pacquiao-Bradley III, with the HBO pay-per-view card starting at 9:00 p.m. ET / 6:00 p.m. PT.
