Weights for White, Rahman!

Dean "Pit Bull" White of Smithsburg, MD weighed in at 130 1/4 for tonight's nationally televised ESPN2 bout against Monty Meza-Clay in Chester, WVA. Meza-Clay came in at 131. This bout is scheduled for 12 rounds because it is for a minor belt, the IBA Americas Lightweight title.

Baltimore's Hasim Rahman weighed in at a strong 235 pounds for tomorrow night's WBC Heavyweight Championship title defense against Oleg Maskaev in Las Vegas on HBO Pay-Per-View. Maskaev came in at 238.

By the way, the referee for the Rahman-Maskaev bout will be veteran Nevada referee Jay Nady and the judges will also be experienced: Jerry Roth, Glenn Trowbridge and Anek Honktongkam.
