Before the men lace them up Saturday night, they and the other 14 fighters on the card will weigh in today. The weigh-in stream will likely only feature the fighters from the televised portion of the card which includes the opening bout featuring Albuquerque’s Fidel Maldonado Jr. (19-2, 16KOs) and his opponent Amir Imam (15-0, 12KOs) fighting for the vacant WBC Continental Americas super lightweight title.
Not since Ray Sanchez III took on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in 2007 have we seen a bout with so much significance for a boxer from Albuquerque.
The offical weigh-in takes place today at 3:30pm MT and can be seen on the screen below. The bouts themselves are scheduled for Saturday night on Showtime at 8pm MT.
