The four world class boxers who will fight tonight at the MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods Casino made weight yesterday at Mashantucket, CT.
In what should be a close, competitive, hotly contested match, Carl Froch defends his WBC super middleweight title against former undisputed middleweight champion Jermain Taylor in the main event on Showtime Championship Boxing at 9pm EST, delayed on the West Coast.
British fans showed up in force to support their countryman at the weigh-in and promise to be a factor in the MGM Grand tonight.
The undefeated Froch, 24-0 (19), of Nottingham, England, weighed 167 pounds while Taylor, 28-2-1 (17), of Little Rock, AR, weighed 166 pounds.
Allan Green, of Tulsa, OK, 27-1 (19), will meet Las Vegas based Puerto Rican Carlos De Leon, 21-2-2 (14,) in an important 10 round super middleweight bout in the co-feature.
Both Green and De Leon weighed the division limit 168 pounds.
