WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30KOs) explained the background behind the agreed-upon catch-weight for Saturday's fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26KOs) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The two boxers will collide at a weight of 152-pounds. According to Canelo, Mayweather first requested 147, and then went up to 150, and then 151 - and at that point Canelo countered and said he was willing to shed two pounds in order to make the fight happen.
