Former WBO Junior Welterweight champion DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley and his opponent, Lucas Matthysse, weighed in at 139 pounds for tonight's contest for the vacant WBO Intercontinental Super Lightweight title at El Polideportivo Vicente Polimeni de Las Heras in Mendoza, Argentina. The bout will be televised on Telefutura and HBO Plus beginning at 11:30 PM ET.

BATB is hearing that USBA Junior Welterweight champion Tim "Pitbull" Coleman is out of his January 29th contest against Vernon Paris. Coleman announced on his Facebook page that he suffered an injury in training that knocks him out of the contest. Update: The injury was to his right shoulder.

Also, there is word that Lamont Peterson may not be involved in the title bout with Amir Khan in April. Some published reports say that Peterson may have priced himself out of the running for the bout.
