The headliners for tomorrow's pay-per-view at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas had no issues making their lightweight limit. Both Juan Manuel Marquez (48-4-1, 35 KOs) and Joel Casamayor (36-3-1, 22KOs) weighed-in at 135-pounds.
The first time they met in June, Vernon “The Viper” Forrest (40-3, 29 KOs) struggled to make the junior middleweight limit. This time he made weight without any issues, coming in at 154-pounds even. WBC junior middleweight champion Sergio “The Latin Snake” Mora (21-0-1, 5 KOs) was wearing the overweight show by stepping on the scales at 156-pounds, but an hour later he came back and made the 154 limit.
Remember, Mora came down from middleweight to fight Forrest in June, winning the belt after Forrest had nothing left in the second-half of the fight - claiming the stamina problem came from his issues with making weight. This time it was Mora who struggled to get back down to 154. We'll see if his stamina takes a hit on Saturday night.
