Teofimo Lopez, Sandor Martin make weight for 140-pound title eliminator
Teofimo Lopez and Sandor Martin on Friday made weight for their 140-pound fight Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York City (ESPN, ESPN+).
Lopez weighed 139.2, Martin 139.8.
Lopez (17-1, 13 KOs) is coming off a seventh-round knockout of Pedro Campa in August, his first fight since he lost his undisputed 135-pound championship to George Kambosos Jr. in November of last year.
The native of Brooklyn became a full-fledged 140-pounder after his setback.
Martin (40-2, 13 KOs) made a splash by outpointing Mikey Garcia in October of last year. He then decisioned Jose Felix this past April.
The Spaniard agreed to meet Lopez on three weeks notice when Jose Pedraza pulled out because of illness.
The fight is being billed as a WBC title eliminator.
