OMAHA, Nebraska — Challenger John Molina failed to make weight for his 140-pound fight against unified champion Terence "Bud" Crawford, meaning Molina won't be able to fight for a title on Saturday night (Sunday, Manila time) at CenturyLink Center.
Molina (29-6, 23 knockouts) weighed in at 144 pounds on Friday. He had two hours to get down to 140 and came in at 143.4 pounds on his second weigh-in.
Crawford (29-0, 20 knockouts) weighed in at 139.6.
If Molina upsets Crawford, the WBO and WBC junior welterweight titles would become vacant.
