Anchondo loses his WBO title on the scales!

Get ready to start calling "Mighty" Mike Anchondo a former champion! Moments ago Anchondo was unable to make the junior lightweight limit of 130 pounds. Anchondo tipped the scales at 134 1/2 pounds and will not even attempt to shed nearly five pounds over the next few hours. Title challenger Jorge Barrios weighed in at 128. Barrios will move forward with the fight and of course, he'd still be able to become WBO junior lightweight champion should he defeat Anchondo.
