Weights From Las Vegas: Bradley 146, Marquez 144.5
Tim Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez are moments away from hitting the scales for their welterweight battle Saturday evening at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Marquez attempts to become the first Mexican fighter in boxing history to win belts in five separate weight classes. The future Hall of Famer hasn't fought since his epic 6th round knockout of Pacquiao in their fourth meeting last December, which earned Fight of the Year honors in many circles. Bradley makes the second defense of the alphabet title he acquired in a controversial decision over Manny Pacquiao last June. His lone defense is this year's leading contender for Fight of the Year, peeling himself off of the canvas to eke out a well-earned points win over Ruslan Provodnikov this past March. The welterweight battle headlines a four-fight pay-per-view card (Saturday, HBO PPV, 9PM ET).

Solomon Shows More Fire, Continues To Climb at 147
By Cliff Rold - Extending his unbeaten to ledger to seventeen contests, 27-year old Brad Solomon (17-0, 7 KO) of Lafayette, Louisiana, used an awkward attack, strong infighting, and obvious desire to score a decisive ten-round unanimous decision over the 30-year old nephew of the great Bernard Hopkins, Demetrius Hopkins (30-2-1, 11 KO) of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Friday night at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Café in Hollywood, Florida. Hopkins initially missed the Welterweight limit for the fight before scaling at 147. Solomon came in under the limit at a cut 145 ½. The referee was Tommy Kimmons. Hopkins began the first illustrating his greater professional experience, focused and steady where Solomon fought on edge, tense. Those nerves meant Solomon was leading, his left jab snaking and a wide right catching Hopkins at mid-ring just inside the halfway mark. Hopkins just missed with a couple of one-twos in the closing seconds.
