Daniel Jacobs weighed in at 167.8 pounds.. whilst opponent Julio Cesar Chavez Jr came in 5 pounds heavier at 172.7 pounds at their weigh in today at the Talking Stick Resort in Phoenix Arizona..
Originally scheduled to box at super middleweight, both teams mutually agreed to meet at a catch weight of 173 pounds.
Jacobs who heads into the fight as a 13:1 favorite, actually made the super middleweight limit, whilst Chavez Jr failed the weight and agreed to pay Jacobs a $1 million penalty fee.. The real weigh-in and surrounding machinations took place this morning, whilst the televised DAZN weigh-in ceremony was streamed after the fact in what was a staged event.. Hence no drama when Chavez Junior overweighed by 5 pounds..
