Weights From St. Petersburg, FL and Bethlehem, PA!

Beltway Boxers tipped the scales for bouts Tuesday in both St. Petersburg, FL and Bethlehem, PA.

At the Coliseum in St. Petersburg, both David Grayton and Miguel Cruz weighed in at 146.8 pounds for their 10-round co-feature bout.

Antonio Russell came in at 117.2 pounds for his six-round contest against Marco A. Mendoza who tipped the scales at 119.2 pounds.  Also, Antuanne Russell weighed in at 139 pounds for his six-rounder against Larry Yanez, who came in at 140.8.  The card will be shown live on FS1 beginning at 7:30 PM ET.  Grayton is definitely scheduled for the telecast and the Russell Brothers may make the TV version as well.

Meanwhile at the Sands Bethlehem Events Center, Mykal Fox weighed in at 143 pounds for his now 10-round contest against Manuel Reyes.  The bout is now the main event on the card because one of the boxers scheduled for the feature bout came in 15, yes, 15 pounds overweight and the bout was scratched.  Also, the contest is for a UBF title.

Overweight boxers seemed to be the order of the day because Reyes originally weighed 147.9 pounds.  Reyes then hit the scales again and came in at 146.7 pounds.

James Early also came in over the contracted weight for his four-round contest against Juan Sanchez.  Early first weighed 129.2 four pounds over the 125 (+1) contract.  Early weighed again at 128 1/2 and lost money for being overweight.  The fight will still go one as Sanchez weighed in at 126 pounds.

Ralph Alexander came in at 229.8 pounds for his four-round bout against Michael Polite-Coffie who tipped the scales at 273.8.
