Chris Eubank's weight again

I made mistakes last time.

He weighed 163 against Winston Burnett, Burnett's weight is unknown.

He weighed 154 against Michael Justin, and also weighed 154 against Greg George.
Greg George was a late replacement for Gilbert Josamu.

What is your source?
The Sept. issue of The Ring agrees he weighed 163 and said Burnett weighed 172.
The Nov. issue of The Ring agrees with the weights we have on site for Michael Justin, and Greg George.

They were light-middleweight contests, and it was reported how Eubank struggled to make 154. He was supposing to be fighting Gilbert Josamu to put himself in line for a shot at the Commonwealth title when he felt he had abit more ring experience. He was also supposed to be fighting James Cook in a Commonwealth title eliminator instead of Les Wisinewski.

Wisinewski was supposed to be fighting Ian Strudwick, but James Cook pulled out of the fight with Eubank and Bob Armstrong couldn't drive to the venue quick enough to make it as a late replacement for Eubank to fight and so Eubank fought Wisinewski and then Armstrong made it in time to fight Strudwick a couple of fights later.
