While reporters weren't allowed to attend the Benavidez vs Andrade weigh in that took place Friday morning at Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay Resort, the world was soon made aware of how it went down.
The biggest Benavidez vs Andrade news after the weigh in is that Jermall Charlo — an undefeated fighter in the co-main event — missed weight by over three pounds.
Although the other Benavidez vs Andrade weigh in results weren't too noteworthy (which is always a good thing), at least one of the evening's biggest fights now has an added layer of drama to what was already a bout seeped in bad blood.
Benavidez vs Andrade Weigh In: Chaos on Charlo's Scale
The most notable Benavidez vs Andrade weigh in results is that Jermall Charlo officially missed weight by over three pounds for his scheduled 163-pound catchweight bout against Jose Benavidez Jr.
In his first Benavidez vs Andrade weigh in attempt, Charlo weighed in at 166.4 pounds, then came in at an even heavier 166.6 pounds in his second attempt one hour later. At that point, it was clear that Charlo wouldn't be making his contracted weight.
While Charlo's scheduled fight against Jose Benavidez Jr is still set to take place Saturday, it's a shame that Charlo couldn't even get close to making weight; especially because Benavidez Jr weighed in at 161.2 pounds, which means that Charlo was 5.2 pounds heavier than his opponent.
Considering that bad blood that is already boiling between Charlo vs Benavidez Jr, this weigh in result is surely going to upset Benavidez Jr — who is already a +550 underdog for this fight — even further.
All we can do now is hope that the massive difference in weight isn't too apparent in the ring come Saturday night.
