By Dan Ambrose: A painfully thin WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO’s) unbelievably made weight today in weighing in at 152 pounds on the button to make the 152 lb. catch-weight for his fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26 KO’s) on Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Vegas, Nevada.
Mayweather looked a lot healthier in coming in at 150.5 lb.s for the fight, and looking like he’s ready to start fighting right now. Canelo looked like he needs to have fluids immediately pumped into his emaciated body because he was scary thin. I can only imagine how much water weight he’s going to pump into his body now that the weigh-in is over. My guess is at least 25 pounds of water weight to put Canelo at 177 for the fight.

by James Le Blanc: Who saw Dan Rafael set the record straight on ESPN First Take about the recent ‘boxing is dead’ assessment. I was also particularly happy to see him call out Skip Bayless for not knowing what a catch-weight was and starting a controversy over it. The catch-weight agreement between Floyd Mayweather and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez has had particular attention because Mayweather criticized his rival Manny Pacquiao for forcing his fighters to fight at catch weights.

It’s not looking right now, but Schaefer believes it’ll do at least 2 million buys, which will break the record in terms of cash hauled in.
