Anaheim, California - Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, of Mexico, and Matthew Hatton, of England, weighed-in for Saturday's showdown at the Honda Center in Anaheim. The vacant WBC junior middleweight title will be on the line. Alvarez, who failed to make the weight limit, was given two hours to lose the excess weight. Alvarez came in at 151.8-pounds. and Hatton came in at 149.6. The co-feature, with super featherweights in action, also made weight. Adrien Broner was 129.8-pounds and Daniel Ponce De Leon 128.4-pounds.

So, did he make weight on the second try or what ?

Or have they not had the second attempt as yet ?

A few months back, because of Canelo's propensity for fights at 150, Saul's trainer was asked if Canelo was too big for 147..... he replied, nah, he will make 147 for the big fights, we just want to preserve his career and health by limiting the amount of times that he has to work to get down to 147.

Not sure what I think of that now?

I'm being told Matthew Hatton is fine with fight proceeding despite Canelo's weight, but that Ricky Hatton "being stubborn

Doesn't surprise me at all to hear that. Matt Hatton carries himself really well, it would be hard to not like the guy, I wish him the best of luck. Regardless as to their limitations, I like both of those Hatton bro's.

I know hatton will accept the fight either way, n he should be the only one that will be winnig the title if he losses it should stay vacant

Exactly bro, good point. Like has happened on many previous occasions, the title should be at stake for Hatton only.

The contract weight was 150.

No it shouldn't and isn't. Alvarez is under 154 so it is still for the belt for both as it should be.

Upon reflection, I will give you that..... simply because I disagree with catch-weights, especially if a title is at stake.

But the point is, Canelo failed to meet his contractual obligations, Hatton did not. The fact that a title is up for grabs was only an after-thought by Sulaiman anyways.

But, fair call.

You guys forget that delafishnets is the promoter and he is just as corrupt as Arum and King? He will offer hatton a couple of thousands more, give him the 30% to keep the fight going, then give canelo the 30% back under the table.

thats called taking care of your boy!
thats how it should be
you all are acting like Canelo is 4-5 pds over
its only 1.8 and it will be less than that after 2 hours
