After failing to make the 175 pound limit by a mere quarter of a pound, Bernard Hopkins easily shed the weight within two hours to come in at 174 pounds and 14 ounces. Defending, WBC light-heavyweight champion Jean Pascal made the weight on his first try, also posting 174 pounds and 14 ounces.
In the HBO televised co-feature, both Chad Dawson (173 lbs.) and Adrian Diaconu (174 lbs.) both made weight without any complications.
Hopkins-Pascal will air tomorrow night (May 21) at 10 p.m. ET.
