Weigh in,
Wondering

 

Predictors that Bernard Hopkins will hammer Oscar DeLa Hoya wavered, after the weigh-in at the MGM Grand.

Hopster went 156, ODLH 155, in the 160lb division match, for which, against tradition, a 158 limit was set.

Hopkins was looking extremely thin - more than the customary lean weigh-in look.

He might have shed too much poundage. None of us bargained on that one.

Oscar seeks his sixth division title (from junior-light up) and a clutch of four belts, the first time all four (WBA, WBC, WBO, IBF) were ever up in one bout.

Watch Main Event Sunday 2pm EST Australia.
