New York ? The Peyton Room of the Affinia Hotel hosts the official weigh?in for tomorrow?s match between WBC and WBO Bantamweight Champion Nonito ?The Filipino Flash? Donaire of Talibon, Bohol Philippines against two?time division champion Omar Andres Narvaez of Chubut, Argentina.

Donaire took to the scales as he is the defending champion of this match. He weighed in at 116 & ? lbs. while Narvaez weighed in at an even 117. The 12 round championship match is set for tomorrow night at The Theater @ Madison square Garden, just adjacent to the hotel. The match will be televised live in the Continental US and all over the world via HBO and Top Rank.com at approximately 10:30 pm EST.

In the co- main event, Miguel Angel Garcia of Oxnard, CA will face Juan Carlos Martinez of San Luis, Potosi, Mexico for the NABF Featherweight title. Garcia tipped in at 125 lbs. while Martinez weighed in at 126.5 lbs. He initially weighed in at 127 and he reweighed in after he stripped down. He was so eager to strip down even without a towel blocking him that Ronnie Nathanielsz who was tasked to host the program, had to slow him down. ?There are ladies in the audience? Nathanielsz warned. He was given an hour to make the limit of 126. Juan Manuel Lopez and Kelly Pavlik were some of the boxing stars seen in the weigh-in today. Mediamen from the greater New York area, the Philippines and Argentina were all represented at the event.
