ATLANTA – This was nothing like Gervonta Davis’ previous trip to the scale the day before a main event at State Farm Arena. Davis made the 140-pound limit on his first attempt Friday afternoon for his 12-round title fight against Mario Barrios. The significantly taller Barrios also made weight on his initial try for their Showtime Pay-Per-View main event Saturday night.
Dominican junior middleweight contender Carlos Adames (19-1, 15 KOs) is pumped to begin the next chapter of his career, under the Premier Boxing Champions banner. Adames was promoted by Top Rank, but they recently parted ways.
