Adrian Hernandez came in at 113 lb. during Saturday's 7-day safety weight check for his August 31 junior flyweight title defense versus Japan's Atsushi Kakutani. The bout takes place in Mexico City and will air live on Televisa.
All fighters participating in WBC-sanctioned bouts are required to perform safety weight checks 30 days and 7 days prior to their bout. The maximum allowable weight 30 days out is 10% over the contracted limit, while a fighter can weigh no more than 5% above the limit at the time of the seven-day check.
The junior flyweight limit is 108 lb. The maximum allowable weight mathematically calculates to 113.4, which the WBC rounds up (in all weight classes). In this case, Hernandez could not weigh any heavier than 114 lb., which means he was a full pound within the limit.
