Pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao tipped the scales at 144.6 pounds while three-time world champion Antonio Margarito came in at exactly 150 pounds earlier today (Saturday in Manila) at the official weigh-in at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Pacquiao and Margarito will clash tomorrow at 8 a.m. (PH time) for the vacant WBC world superwelterweight title.
The Filipino ring icon, who will be gunning for his eighth world title in as many weight divisions, surprisingly came in way below the agreed weight as he was noted to have prioritized speed over power.
