Miki Rodriguez weighed in at 145lbs and Andre Berto weighed in at 146lbs. These two fighters face off for the vacant WBC Welterweight Title vacated by Floyd Mayweather Jr. Berto many have seen rise through the rankings quite nicely. He is expected to win this fight. Rodriguez, not many have seen fight but word is he has great punching power just lacking speed. In fights like this when I know very little about a fighter, I tend to root for the one I know about (Berto) but keep my eye on the one I don't know about (Rodriguez). Over the past few fights I have seen Berto get stronger and move his head more. He is not a complete fighter yet, but he is working hard at getting there. If Berto wins tonight he will claim the WBC Title and earn his right to face bigger name opponents. He will no longer be considered a contender or prospect, but a champion. We will see if he passes the test tonight on HBO at 10pm EST.
Chazz Witherspoon weighed in at 220 and Chris Arreola weighed in at 239. Both of these gentleman are undefeated at 23-0 but someones 0 has got to go. Arreola is a strong powerhouse who loves the KO as seen in his 21KOs. Witherspoon is a fighter who is really trying to develop the craft of boxing. In the past he has came across to me as lacking something in the ring. I am not sure if it is just his personality of being laid back that does not work in my opinion. However Witherspoon is a big guy with a decent jab that gets attention. The question is will Witherspoon be able to hold off the very aggressive Arreola? Arreola is not laid back in his boxing form and loves to come forward and slug it out. Witherspoon takes his time in the ring. Who will impose their fight style on whom? This fight has a chance to be very exciting and possibly end in a KO. Tonight we will find out who gets the KO.
