Carlos Cuadras held an open workout and weigh-in ceremony on Saturday for his 7-day pre-fight weight check ahead of his upcoming clash with Luis Concepcion. The unbeaten junior bantamweight makes the third defense of his belt on Saturday, April 4 in Metepec, Mexico.
All fights sanctioned by the World Boxing Council (WBC) require a 30-day and 7-day safety check, to ensure that fighters are within prescribed weight limits and to minimize unhealthy practices of cutting a lot of weight in a short amount of time. Fighters cannot weigh more than 10% above the contracted limit 30 days out, and no more than 5% at the seven-day mark.
In hitting the scales on Saturday, Cuadras checked in at 119 lbs. for his upcoming junior bantamweight title fight. The most he could weigh was 122 lbs., rounded up from 5% above the 115 lb. divisional limit or 121.75 lbs. [Click Here To Read More]
