INOUE - 115 LBS., NIEVES - 113.8 LBS.
In the co-feature for the WBO world super flyweight championship, defending champ Naoya Inoue (13-0-0, 11KOs) of Japan weighed in exactly at the division limit of 115 lbs while his challenger Antonio Nieves (17-1-2, 9 KOs) of Cleveland, Ohio came in at 113.8 lbs. Inoue, called 'The Monster' is fighting in the US for the first time and if he defeats Nieves, the No. 7 contender, he could potentially face the winner of the Rungvisai-Gonzalez bout for a unification.
Carlos Cuadras (L) and Juan Francisco Estrada.
CUADRAS - 114.6 LBS., ESTRADA - 114.8 LBS.
In another co-feature for the WBC world superfly title eliminator, No. 2 ranked Carlos Cuadras (36-1-1, 27 KOs) scaled at 114.6 lbs while No. 3 ranked Juan Francisco Estrada (35-2, 25KOs) came in at 114.8 lbs. Cuadras held the WBC superfly title since 2014 until he lost it to Roman Gonzalez last year. Estrada previously held the WBO and WBA flyweight titles before relinquishing them to campaign in the super flyweight division.
Brian Viloria (L) and Miguel Cartagena.
VILORIA - 113.4 LBS., CARTAGENA - 113.6 LBS
Comebacking Filpino-American Brian Viloria (37-5-0, 23KOs) weighed in at 113.4 lbs while his opponent Miguel Cartagena (15-3-1, 6KOs) of Philadelphia came in at 113.6 lbs.
