(Photo credit: Lucas Noonan/Premier Boxing Champions) By Allan Fox: A very thin looking WBA World junior middleweight champion Erislandy Lara (20-2-2, 12 KOs) made weight on Thursday for his title defense on Friday against #12 WBA Delvin Rodriguez (28-7-4, 16 KOs) at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago, Illinois.
Lara weighed in at 153.6 pounds for the fight, and as I said, he looked very thin to the point where he was weight-drained. Rodriguez weighed in at 153.4 pounds and looked pretty good. Judging by Rodriguez’s appearance, I don’t think he’s going to put a lot of weight on overnight before the fight.
