    Boxrec has this down as Middlewight but it's actually Super Welterweight/ Light Middleweight/ Junior Middlewight/ whatever you wanna call it.

    Looks like Vanes is just trying to get some rounds in here. Gulf in class is obvious.

    Vanes 10-9

    No, it's middleweight.

    It became a middleweight contest when both failed to make the 154lb limit.

    2.5 hours until the main card, which is a doubleheader.

    That means the main event might not start until midnight EST. (if Crawford vs. Sanabria goes the full 10)

    Most likely it was a over the weght junior middleweight affair.

    Uh, there's no such thing. :blood

    If both men are over 154, it's middleweight. End of story.

    It doesn't matter that it was originally scheduled for light middleweight. That was a middleweight contest. It doesn't officially go down as being in the division whose limit the participants were supposed to make. There's no such thing as "junior middle with an asterisk".

    Now, in the main event that is a different scenario. Lopez made the featherweight limit, while Garcia didn't. So Garcia has lost his title on the scales and it's at stake for Lopez only. It's still officially a featherweight contest because Lopez came in under the limit and can still acquire the belt.

    Had Lopez also come in heavy, neither would be eligible for the now-vacant belt and they would be engaging in a super featherweight contest.
