McAllen, Texas--Both WBO featherweight champ Juan Manuel Marquez and Filipino challenger Jimrex Jaca easily made weight just seconds ago during official weigh-in held at the Cancun Ballroom of the Wyndham Hotel here.
Marquez came in at a trim 124 3/4 lbs, while Jaca checked in at 123 3/4 lbs for their 12-round showdown tomorrow at the 7,000-capacity Dodge Arena in Hidalgo.
Light-heavyweight champ Bernard Hopkins was in attendance to represent Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De la Hoya.

this will be the "upset of the year" if jaca wins!:fingersx:
Zab Judah - Baldomir is the upset of the year.
Judah was not even in the fight it was like a tuneup for mayweather .
but yes you could see some explosive thing.
even if Roach trains him it doesnt mean a shit because Roach have so many fighters in his hand i dont think he will be that effective.

JMM isn't the WBO Featherweight Champion. He may be "interim champion" but that doesn't make him th real champion now that Harrison has been released.
yeah they dont look that dry at all it should be a good fight RM is getting older now he should fight Barrea next cuz him and manny is to fuck up to do right now.
This jimrex jaca knocked out Bobby Pacquiao in 1 round on his boxrec lol.
This is another miss match like juan diaz vs randy suico.
What is this like 15-1 infavor of marquez on the betting market?
jaca is a huge underdog i have never really seen him fight just a clip they showed and jaca lost a decision recently to some older fighter.
do you guys think jmm will move up to fight pacquiao?
If Roach/(or any renowned trainer) is training him then he would have a better chance than he has now................
Roach is training him, but that doesn't compensate for not having fought at this level previously.
I'm rooting for Jaca but Marquez takes this in 10. :banana:
It would be the funniest shit if Jaca found a way to outpoint Marquez, but you have 2 guys on totally different experience levels.
