Amir Khan and Zab Judah take to the ring on Saturday night at 10 p.m. on HBO, but today they hit the scales in Las Vegas to weigh in. Both fighters made the junior welterweight limit of 140 pounds.
Over in the United Kingdom, Dereck Chisora and Tyson Fury also hit the scales for their British heavyweight title fight. The 6'1" Chisora came in way over his usual weight at 261 pounds, up nearly 20 pounds from his weights in his last three fights. It's a career-high for him, and remains to be seen if this means he's out of shape, but it's a lot of weight on his frame. The 6'9" Fury came in at 255½, which is lower than he's been in his last four fights, where he weighed in between 261 and 270 pounds.
The main co-feature on that show, which starts at 3 p.m. on Integrated Sports PPV in the U.S. and airs on Channel 5 in the UK, is a British junior welterweight title bout between Ashley Theophane and Jason Cook. Theophane came in at 138¼, while Cook weighed 139¾.
Bad Left Hook will have live coverage of both cards tomorrow .

Has anyone seen a pic of Chisora or Fury yet?
Chisora’s weight sounds horrible.
"Occasionally, there is a boxing match that, in its demonstration of skill, courage, intelligence, hope, seems to redeem the sport - almost. Perhaps boxing has always been a sport in crisis, a sport of crisis."

Just seen this video – he doesn’t really look soft or anything, but it’s a lot of muscle for his frame. Fury looks in excellent shape.

If you link to something, don’t put it in the subject, because then it just links to the comment, and I imagine people clicking, endlessly, trying to figure out what’s wrong.

Maybe I missed it but what other fights are going to be televised on HBO tomorrow?
Tiago Splitter > Matt Bonner
none
They were going to air Quillin vs Simms, but then Simms dropped out and Jason LeHoullier (Quillin’s new opponent) was turned down by HBO, and frankly rightfully so.

That stinks. I’d still like to see Quillin and Kirkland, even against “easy” opponents.
Tiago Splitter > Matt Bonner
HBO’s budget is totally stretched at this point. That’s why Hopkins vs Dawson is going to PPV, not because they think it’ll sell.
