Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford stepped on the scale Friday and hit their marks without issue.
The official weigh-ins for the entire fight card took place in front of credentialed media, except for the main event. Alvarez (63-2-2) and Crawford (41-0) weighed in privately, behind closed doors, in front of the Nevada Athletic Commission.
NAC executive director Jeff Mullen then announced the weights: 167.5 pounds for both Alvarez and Crawford.
It’s unsurprising neither main event competitor missed his mark. Alvarez has a long history of competing at super middleweight without issue, and Crawford is moving up from super welterweight after mostly competing at welterweight.
Alvarez vs. Crawford takes place Saturday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The bout headlines TKO Boxing’s debut event, which streams live on Netflix.
