Pavlik, Taylor both easily make weight

 
Kelly Pavlik and Jermain Taylor both weighed in at 164 pounds Friday at the MGM Grand Garden in the anticlimactic final step before the rematch of their exciting middleweight title bout. Pavlik knocked out Taylor four months ago to claim the WBC belt, and both agreed to fight the rematch at a 166-pound catch weight with no title on the line. Both claimed the extra weight would help them, as both have labored to make the middleweight division's 160-pound limit in the past. (link)
