Antuanne Russell tipped the scales at 139.6 for his six-round bout against Andrew Rodgers, who came in at 136.4.

Shynggyskhan Tazhibay weighed in at the welterweight limit of 147 for his six-round bout against late sub Isaac Freeman, who came in at the same weight.  Freeman (3-6-1, three KO's) boxes out of Los Angeles, CA.

Justin Savi, who was originally slated to face Tazhibay, will now face undefeated Fabian Maidana in a six-round bout.  Savi came in at 141.2 while Maidana, a native of Buenos Aires, Argentina and the younger brother of former world champion Marcos Maidana (14-0, 10 KO's), came in at 141.8 pounds.
