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.
Bradley aims to redeem himself and put himself in the mix again after suffering a huge head bump in his forehead when he fought Diego Chavez of Argentina and ended up with a draw. Prior to that he lost via UD to Pacquiao at Las Vegas.
Vargas on the other hand is coming off a unanimous decision win over Antonio de Marco in Macau, China last November.
