World Boxing Organization (WBO) featherweight champion Juan Manuel Lopez (29-0, 26 KOs) hit the scales for a pre-fight weigh-in at Aponte Gym in Caguas, Puerto Rico and marked 136 pounds.
Lopez is scheduled to fight Mexican Rafael Marquez (39-5, 35 KOs) one month from now on November 6 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada with the action broadcast by Showtime in the United States.
?The weight is fine, like always,? said Lopez. ?We are in good rhythm and I am preparing myself 100 percent for this important fight.?
The official weight for the fight is the featherweight limit of 126 pounds.
Training camp will shift from Puerto Rico to Las Vegas in two weeks so Lopez can acclimate himself to the altitude and climate of Sin City.
