From boxingtalk

Get ready to start calling "Mighty" Mike Anchondo a former champion! Moments ago Anchondo was unable to make the junior lightweight limit of 130 pounds. Anchondo tipped the scales at 134 1/2 pounds and will not even attempt to shed nearly five pounds over the next few hours. Title challenger Jorge Barrios weighed in at 128. Barrios will move forward with the fight and of course, he'd still be able to become WBO junior lightweight champion should he defeat Anchondo

Has nayone seen much of anchondio?? How would either Anchondio / barios deal with the likes of harrison / brodie (assuming either would consider moving up).

yes, i was refering to the 2 brits moving up, I cant see brodie moving up although there is a decent chance harrison would / could.

Barrios is one tough motherfucker. He gave Freitas a right shooing until Freitas managed to find the equalizer and was well ahead going into the 11th round. I think it would be a ding dong battle. Too strong for Brodie, more even against Harrison, but you'd have to favour the man proven at the weight.

Anchondo, not seen yet, so cannot say, but he's highly rated by my colleagues at max.

Anchondo sounds like a class boxer, got to favour him. Watch (or tape) this quality fight on CH5 next wednesday.
