So much for Matthew backing up from the fight. How much did Matt weigh in at? Canelo is going to be alot bigger tomorrow night.
Saul "Canelo" Alvarez failed to make the contracted weight of 150 pounds for his fight against Matthew Hatton a second time Friday -- weighing 150.4 his second time on the scale Alvarez initally weighed 151.8 and was given two hours to lose 1.8 pounds. He was able to lose only .4 pounds. Did he weigh 151.4 or 150.4?
When a 20 year old cant make weight for his first title fight thats not a good sign. Its a This content is protected title anyways imo this catchweight thing is becoming a joke. Hatton is fighting for a title outside his weight, and he never even had a title at his true weight. What a joke the WBC has become.
