The weight are in for the big middleweight fight on May 1st at the Sport Complex Krylatskoe in Moscow, Russia. WBO champion Dmitry Pirog (19-0, 15KOs) will defend his title against challenger Nobuhiro Ishida of Japan (24-7-2, 9KOs). The champion weighed in first, and he was 158-pounds. But Ishida stunned obvservers by coming in overweight on his first attempt, at 161.2. He weighed in a second time, after receiving two hours to sweat it off, and lost nearly four pounds. Ishida weighed 157.6 on his second try. Photos by Victor Sokolov/Allboxing.ru.

Wow... pretty light. I mean, Ishida is jumping up a weigh class though.

I think we witness Ishida getting knocked out this time around.

If Ishida needed a second try he might be weight drained tomorrow. Pirog might knock him out, although Ishida has a rather solid chin and has never been rocked so far.

Hope Pirog puts a clinic on Ishida, showing the boxing world what quality he brings to the table.

Intriguing fight Pirog should win but Ishida has pulled off the upset before so we'll see

I'm confused. I'm watching a stream that's supposedly Pirog vs Ishida. Looks like an undercard is on right now. Is the fight supposed to be today or tomorrow? Is the stream mislabeled?
