 WIBA Middleweight champion Tori Nelson (right) weighed in at 156 1/4 pounds for her three-belt world title bout against WBA champion Teresa Perozzi that will be held tonight in Southampton, Bermuda.  Perozzi came in at 157 pounds.  The 10-round bout, in which the vacant WBC Female Middleweight title will also be on the line -- will be refereed by Steve Smoger, who worked the RBA Promotions card in Arlington, VA just one week ago.

The bout is BIG news in Bermuda as evidenced by these two articles.  The first is from the Bermuda Sun Newspaper:

There is also good coverage of one of the bouts on the undercard that features Jennifer Salinas (left) who weighed in at 127 3/4 for her six-round contest against Karen Dulin.  Dulin tipped the scales at 129 3/4.  Once again, this comes from The Royal Gazette:
