Amir Khan and Marco Antonio Barrera made weight for tomorrow's fight, with Khan a half-pound under the limit at 134.5 pounds and Barrera stripping stark raving naked to make the 135-pound limit.
Sky is sort of making an issue of Barrera being three ounces over before stripping down and making the weight, but I don't think it's likely to have any big effect on the outcome of the fight. Shane Mosley was briefly a couple ounces over at the weigh-in for Margarito, too. It happens.
Everyone else made weight, too.
The card starts tomorrow at 4pm ET on PPV here in the States. At just $24.95 I really am pretty excited to sit down and watch some Saturday afternoon fights.

I really dislike Frank Warren.

Is there a rule
that fighters must wear underwear to a weigh-in? I mean, he DID make weight…

Nope. You can go buck nekkid. Sometimes Gina Carano has to do it and all the dudes that have never seen boobings before go OHH MAMA HA CHA CHA
