From Simply Juanderful, Juan Manuel Marquez made weight for his clash with Lightweight Champion Joel Casamayor. The fight promises to be a good one, with both veterans standing a very good chance of hearing the final bell on their feet. I expect Marquez to use his superior skill to win a tactical fight.
For The Hitmen, the news was not so good from yesterday's weigh-in. Joan Guzman, the undefeated Dominican star, was 3 1/2 lbs heavy for his Lightweight Title fight with Nate Campbell. Given that Guzman has just moved up from the 130 lb. division, weighing 138.5 for this fight is not a good sign. Because of his excessive weight, Guzman will not be able to capture the titles tonight although the fight will go on. Although I have been picking Guzman to win in my head up til now, I am changing my pick. Nate Campbell is in better shape, is more comfortable with the weight and has the pride of a reigning champion. Campbell by decision.
