Moments ago, inside of the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, California, former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (42-1-1, 30 KO’s) and his opponent Brian Vera (23-6, 14 KO’s) both made the catch weight limit of 173 pounds ahead of their HBO-televised clash tomorrow night.

The Chavez-Vera fight has endured its share of hiccups, from seeing the fight postponed on multiple occasions to news surfacing earlier this week that Chavez was having serious difficulty making the super middleweight limit of 168 pounds that the fight was originally agreed upon.

After some suspense, a catch weight of 173 pounds was agreed upon.

As recently reported, former lightweight titlist Brandon Rios has acquired the services of strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza heading into his Nov. 23 clash in Macau, China with Manny Pacquiao.

As outspoken of a figure as you will find in the sport, Rios was actually in a subdued mood on Thursday afternoon prior to another workout as he discussed what it’s been like working with Ariza thus far.

“It’s something different,” Rios revealed. “Different exercises I’ve been doing. It’s tiring. I do get tired. I felt that I’m more tired this time. But, hey, I love to work out and I think it’s going to come out good. That workout is just insane. After that, and coming to the gym; we’ll be ready.”

Prior to his rematch with Mike Alvarado this past March, Rios had been testing the waters with a different strength coach, Angel ‘Memo’ Heredia, a man known best for his work with Juan Manuel Marquez.
