    FIGHTBEAT'S Moses Vered at the Scales in Florida

    Just moments ago Arthur Abraham jumped on the scale 1/2 pound overweight (166.5lbs) for Saturdays rematch with Edison Miranda. The catch weight for Saturday's fight is 166lbs. Miranda hit the scales at 165lbs (1-pound under the limit).

    Givoanni Lorenzo and Raul Marquez both weighed exactly 160lbs.

    Knowing Cupey tabloid journalism, he probably made weight without clothes immediately. :lol::lol:

    Alright, is this a non-title fight, how many rounds?

    Boxrec is no help.

    With a Gatti scale they would have both been fight at Welterweight.
