Weights are in from Cancun, Mexico. All heavyweights weighed in on Thursday, with the rest of the card weighing in today. All fighters made weight, except one - Jose Luis Castillo, who missed his 30-day and 7-day weigh-in checkpoints before weighing in 4 1/2 lb over the junior welterweight limit. His fight with undefeated Tim Bradley has been cancelled as a result, with Bradley now elevated to WBC 140 lb. mandatory challenger by default.
All of the action kicks off Saturday evening at La Plaza de Toros in Cancun, Mexico. The co-feature (Juan Diaz-Nate Campbell) and main event (Oleg Maskaev-Samuel Peter) will air live on HBO (Saturday, 9:30PM ET).
Full weights as listed below:
