Here's the stare down between Bradley & casamayor. Casamayor was 1 lb over and has 2 hours to drop the 1 lb, should be easy enough though.

I hope Casa wins
If Casamayor can't pull it off i'd like Brandon Rios to be the one to do it, they should fight next

I hope Casa pulls the upset. He took Kat's undefeated record and another victory over Bradley would be such a feel good story.
Bradley has been inactive for nearly an year now and he could get caught rusty.
casamayor got a gift win over Santa Cruz in 07. He went life and death with Katsidis. Marquez KO'd him. He won over a journeyman. He took an absolute beating from Guererro. And for most of that fight his legs looked bad. Then he wins a close decision over a journeyman.
He is very close to done, if not done.
Marquez has been weighing 145 pounds when he walks into the ring for all of his lightweight fights. So he weighs in around 133.5-135 after really cutting all fat and dehydrating, and then he rehydrates to 145 after eating and drinking normally for 24 hours.
He will probably weigh around 148 tomorrow night. 2-3 pounds of additional muscle. Not alot. It isn't as if his fighting weight will have changed by much.
I get irritated every time someone says Pac is a full fledged welterweight. No, he isn't. He is beating welterweights.
When Pac fought Marquez the 2nd time, with weigh in of 130, he weighed 145 when he got in there to fight. His fights with weigh in of 147, he weighs around 147-149 in the ring.
He went up a massive 4 pounds. He just stopped dehydrating himself and got to eat fully.
He is a little guy who actually weighs around the weight limit in the ring where every guy he faces makes weight and ballons up to the upper 150s.
People that are saying there is a big size disparity here are simply wrong. Likewise, it is futile for people to call for the fight being at 140. They weighed in one pound apart and both under the welterweight limit by 4 and 5 pounds. Marquez looked ripped too! Not pudgy like he did against Floyd. I just don't buy that Marquez is going to give up in this one. This is going to be a scrap for however long it lasts.
Naw i'd say Pac is a full welter, He can spark a dood at welter, he can take a punch at welter, he's been there for time and is comfortable taking all challengers at the weight.
It doesn't make it less impressive that he moved up so far but people grow as they age.
now saying that Pac is a full on junior middle would be a different story, just like how they were reluctant to take on guys at 154 with a big height advantage.. i'd say his frame/arm length etc is welterweight maximum, thats where his comfort zone ends
