ARLINGTON, Texas -- Junior middleweight world titleholder Liam Smith and Canelo Alvarez both weighed in at the division limit of 154 pounds on Friday afternoon at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, ahead of their HBO PPV main event on Saturday night (9 ET).Mexicos Alvarez, the lineal middleweight champion, vacated his sanctioning body belt to move down in weight to challenge Englands Smith for his title rather than negotiate a deal with unified middleweight titleholder (and mandatory challenger) Gennady Golovkin in what would be boxings biggest fight.Hes a very good fighter, a very tough fighter, Alvarez said of Smith after stepping off the scale. Thats what we prepared for, to give Mexico a beautiful victory [on Mexican Independence Day weekend]. Hes a very strong fighter and he likes to engage and thats what I like because it guarantees the fans a great fight.There were questions about whether Alvarez would be able to make 154 pounds because he has been fighting at his preferred catchweight of 155 pounds for the past several fights and generally looks drained even making that weight.Flanked by Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, Alvarez was as light as 154 for the first time since he weighed 152 pounds for his lone career loss, a decision to Floyd Mayweather in their title unification fight in September 2013.Alvarez (47-1-1, 33 KOs), 26, was 154? pounds for his knockout of the year against James Kirkland in May 2015.Smith (23-0-1, 13 KOs), 28, who will be defending his world title for the third time, will be fighting in the United States for the first time.Were good professionals and we made weight, Smith said.

Rosado weighed 159? pounds and Monroe was 158? for a fight that could propel the winner into a Dec. 10 bout against Alvarez, should he defeat Smith.During the staredown after they made weight, Rosado shoved Monroe hard in the chest and Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya, the former six-division titleholder and Hall of Famer, immediately stepped in to keep the situation from escalating.He was talking some smack, so Ill take care of it, Rosado said. He dont want a war but thats what it will be Saturday night. We come to bring the pain.Monroe seemed unfazed by Rosados actions.He do what he do, Monroe said. Hes got 12 rounds tomorrow. Its not personal.The four fighters in the other two pay-per-view bouts also made weight.Featherweight Joseph Diaz Jr. (21-0, 12 KOs), a 2012 U.S. Olympian from South El Monte, California, was 125?, a half-pound under the weight limit, and Andrew Cancio (17-3-2, 13 KOs), of Blythe, California, was 126.
