Michael Carbajal vs Tomas Rivera, Oct 12 1996 - Weight for Carbajal

Post by abeattell77 »

Boxrec lists Carbajal as weighing 108.5. The Jr. Fly limit was 108 and this was an IBF title fight so that weight is highly questionable.

Furthermore, I found the following:
1) The ring announcer called his weight out at 107.5 at introductions
2) USA Network "tale of the tape" had Carbajal at 108
3) In Barry Hugman's Definitive History of Championship Boxing (published 2016) he lists Carbajal's weight as 107 for this fight

So I do not know which weight is correct, but I doubt it is the 108.5 which would be over the Jr. Flyweight limit.

:TU: I changed it to 107 1/2. I believe this was just a typo.
