What a disgrace. Francisco Sierra weighed in at 175 for his ESPN2 main event vs. Jesus Gonzalez tonight. Problem was contract weight was 168

I assume that fight has been scrapped?

[mgsooner]

Rafael hasn't said anything else yet. If it's scrapped they lose the main event of an already weak card.

[-Kev-]

WTF, I just read Sierra weighed 7lbs. I was like what type of weight class is that. I need to stop skimming through shit.

[onechance87]

was he a late replacement?

was he a late replacement?

Looks like he was...

It’s difficult to judge Sierra. The Mexican failed to make the contracted 168 pounds Thursday, meaning he can’t win the North American Boxing Federation’s vacant title. Only Gonzales can. Sierra was heavy in two trips to the scale – 176.5 pounds the first time and 175 an hour later. He reportedly had been training for a fight later in July in Mexico. He agreed to the Gonzales bout only last Friday. It’s hard to know if Sierra is ready.

I don't see any problem then. He was a late replacement. At least, he tried losing weight.
