Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam and David Lemieux are all set for their vacant middleweight title fight Saturday evening at Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec City, Canada.
Both fighters made weight in advance of Saturday’s headliner. N’Dam (31-1, 18KOs) weighed in at a fighting ready 158.6 lbs., even taking a swig of water before stepping on the scale. Lemieux (33-2, 31KOs) checked in right at the 160 lb. middleweight limit, though having to weigh in twice due to confusion and minor chaos on the stage during his first weigh-in attempt.

This is a really hard one to predict. I think it's going to be Dirrell-DeGale accentuated. N'Dam will look the more accomplished fighter just as Dirrell did but a couple of Lemieux knock downs plus some home cooking will mean the points gap will be too large for N'Dam to close. Lemieux by decision.
Wow, N'Dam came in nearly a pound and half under, and that's after he slammed a can of something before stepping on the scale!
Meantime looks like Lemieux just made the weight.
Am I the only one that lets out a sigh of relief when fighters make weight in a fight I'm looking forward to? :boxing:
Not alone. It always show's a lack of respect and professionalism for the sport. It's a shame, coming in over is becoming a regular and unpopular trend!
