Filipino pride Rey 'Boom Boom' Bautisa came in at a super-trim 122 lbs, while Brazilian foe Giovanni Andrade checked in at 123 lbs. Both looked menacing in the official staredown.
Today's weigh-in was graced by promoters Oscar De la Hoya, Bernard Hopkins and Shane Mosley and supervised by the Florida State Boxing Commission.
