Boxing Coverage on Sherdog.comShowtime Boxing Weigh-in Results: Provodnikov, Molina Cleared to Fight
Showtime will bring another tripleheader of boxing action on
Saturday and an intriguing junior welterweight battle will the
anchor to the event. Former 140-pound world champion Ruslan
Provodnikov (25-4, 18 KOs) will lock horns with John Molina Jr. in
the main event, which goes down at the Turning Stone Resort and
Casino in Verona, New York.
At Friday’s weigh-ins, all of the fighters on the main card were able to make weight, giving the card the green light. Molina Jr. (28-6, 23 KOs) was the first to step to the scale and he nailed it, officially coming in at 140 pounds. “The Siberian Rocky” followed suit by making weight as he tipped the scale right on the division’s weight limit as well.
Demetrius Andrade (22-0, 15 KOs) will take on Willie Nelson in a
12-round WBC 154-pound title eliminator. Nelson (25-2-1, 15 KOs)
clocked in at 154 pounds as did Andrade, a former WBO junior
middleweight champ before he was tripped of the belt due to
inactivity.
