By Allan Fox: 37-year-old former two division world champion Vic Darchinyan (38-5-1, 27 KO’s) successfully weighed in on Friday for his fight tomorrow night against Javier Gallo (18-6-1, 10 KO’s) for their fight at the Uni-Trade Stadium in Laredo, Texas.
Darchinyan, #3 WBC, came in at 123.5 pounds, and his opponent 29-year-old Gallo weighed in at 123.25 lbs. This will be the first fight for Darchinyan with Top Rank Promotions and there’s talk of him possibly facing newly crowned WBC super bantamweight champion Victor Terrazaz next, although former IBF/WBO super bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire might be the one that ultimately gets the shot against Terrazaz.
By Chris Williams: Last Saturday night’s fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero may not equal Mayweather’s previous fight against Miguel Cotto in terms of pay per view buys, but in one area where it did quite well was at the gate.
By Scott Gilfoid: Earlier today, bantamweight contender Jaime McDonnell (20-2-1, 9 KO’s) made weight for his fight against the devastating puncher Julio Ceja (24-0, 22 KO’s) for their fight on Saturday for the vacant IBF bantamweight title that previously belonged to Leo Santa Cruz before he vacated it to move up to 122.

Roach thinks Froch, 35, is too young for the 34-year-old.

By Chris Williams: Trainer Freddie Roach sees Manny Pacquiao’s fight against former WBA lightweight champion Brandon Rios (31-1-1, 23 KO’s) on November 24th as being potentially Pacquiao’s last fight of his career if he fails to perform well in their HBO pay per view fight at the Cotai Arena, Venetian Resort, Macao, Macao S.A.R., China.
By Dan Ambrose: Showtime head of Sports Stephen Espinosa is optimistic that a mega pay per fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez can get made for September 14th on Showtime/CBS on the Mexican Independence Day holiday. Both Mayweather and Canelo are interested in the fight, so all that needs to take place in the negotiations for money, weight. 
By Jay Vandendorp: WBC interim super lightweight interim champion Lucas Matthysse (33-2-1,31KOs) talked to the Argentine Press about his oncoming bout against IBF champion Lamont Peterson (31-1-1,16Kos) at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on May 18th, which will be televised by Showtime. 
By Dan Ambrose: WBC president Jose Sulaiman wants WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO’s) to wait until next year before he faces unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26 KO’s) in a mega fight. Sulaiman, who is really fond of the orange-haired Mexican fighter, doesn’t think he’s ready to beat the 36-year-old Mayweather right now, but if he waits until Mayweather is 37, Sulaiman thinks he’ll have a better chance at beating him.
