Moments ago in Corpus Christi, Tex. rivals and former champions Nonito Donaire and Vic Darchinyan both made weight ahead of their grudge rematch on HBO. Donaire hit the scales at 125.25 pounds while Darchinyan was 125.75 pounds.

Donaire stopped Darchinyan in five rounds in July of 2007 in one of the year’s biggest upsets and the Armenian slugger has been calling for a rematch ever since.
