[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Danny Garcia and Lamont Peterson both made weight for their catch-weight bout on Saturday night in the main event of “Premier Boxing Champions” on NBC.

Garcia stepped on the scales at 142.2 pounds, well within the contractually agreed-upon limit of 143 pounds. Peterson initially stepped on the scale at 143.2 pounds, only to remove his underwear and come in at 143 on the dot.

This is the second time that Garcia, the junior welterweight champion, has fought at a catch-weight above 140. He was 141.75 for his last fight, a second-round slaughter of Rod Salka that took place at a contractually agreed upon limit of 142 pounds.

Is the chick fight going to be televised? I imagine Spence is

I'm still shocked/confused as to why Peterson still has that IBF belt. He's holding it hostage.

Quillen is a fricking joke. I hope Lee decapitates him for his stupidity and unprofessionalism.

If he loses tomorrow he loses the belt. Thank God

Lee-Quillin is now a non-title bout

Garcia is one Skeletor looking mofo. Reminds me of a zombie fro Day of the Dead or something.

Can someone clarify some of the other matchups? Viktor Postol weighed in at 143.8 lbs and the other guy weighed in at 142 or so. Aren't these guys junior welterweights? I understand garcia-peterson is at a contracted catchweight but what's with some of these other matchups being in between weight classes or does it not even matter whether they make weight because they're non televised bouts? Also, aaron pryor jr has the smallest forearms i've ever seen on a light heavyweight.
