On the weigh-ins for the undercard of Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez, one of the featured undercard fighters in Joel Casamayor came in a pound over the 140 pound limit for his bout with Timothy Bradley.
Casamayor stepped back on the scales after missing on the first attempt after taking off his underwear but was still heavy. He now has two hours to cut the additional pound which should be possible. If not he will likely be subject to losing a portion of his purse. It is unlikely that they'd cancel the fight outright.
