StubHub Center, Carson, CA: Just moments ago, Top Rank and its partners, Tecate Beer, StubHub Center among others held the official weigh-in for tomorrow?s block buster at the open-air Arena in this Center.
Main events gladiators Tim Bradley of Palm Springs, CA (29-1-1.11KO) stepped on the scales and registered at 146.4 lbs. Not to be outdone, Jessie Vargas, (26-0-0,9KO) of Las Vegas, NV, the WBA undefeated super lightweight champion came in at the same weight - 146.4 lbs.
The duo will meet at ring center tomorrow and the fight will be shown live on HBO Championship Boxing for the WBO Interim Welterweight title.
Vargas is trained by Manny Pacquiao?s former foe, Erik ?Terrible? Morales.
