Manny Is 145, Mosley 147–No Surprise At The Scale
No surprises at the scale ahead of Saturday's Manny Pacquiao-Shane Mosley clash in Las Vegas. Manny was light, at 145 pounds, while Mosley looked in fine fighting trim, at 147 on the dot during the Friday afternoon session.
The weigh in was held in the MGM's arena, and about 8,000 fight fans jammed in.
Kelly “The Ghost” Pavlik was 170 pounds, while Alfonso Lopez was 169 pounds ahead of Pavlik's debut at super middle, which comes after his stint getting ahold of his drinking problem. WBO junior featherweight champion Wilfredo Vazquez and Jorge Arce were both 122 pounds.
