The weights are in from Sunrise, Florida, for tomorrow night's big Showtime fight card. Main eventers Joseph Agbeko and Vic Darchinyan both came in under their 118-pound limit, with Darchinyan at 117.5 and Agbeko at 116.5.

The televised undercard feature at lightweight has Antonio DeMarco at 134.5, with Anges Adjaho at 135 on the nose. The only other reported weight from what is really a pretty stacked card has cruiserweights Steve Cunningham and Wayne Brathwaite well under the 200-pound limit. Cunningham tipped the scales at 195, with Brathwaite a half-pound lighter.

Those three fights could've made a nice (if affordable) pay-per-view show, really, no lesser than any of Top Rank's Latin Fury shows. I'm not complaining, really, I just wish Cunningham-Brathwaite were also being televised, but what can you do?

We'll be here tomorrow at 9 ET for round-by-round coverage of the card, so join us and chime in!

HT: Rick Reeno & Jake Donovan
