美国时间星期五下午列米欧称重是159磅，史蒂文森称重是是158¼磅。
但是，星期六早晨进行史蒂文森称重是167.1磅，而列米欧没有参加这场官方称重。按规定双方第二天赛前的体重不能超过中量级限制160磅的10磅，也就是不能超过170磅。
列米欧2011年4月在第七回合被卢比奥KO之前的称重是159磅，这也就意味着列米欧登台后将会以很大的体重优势面对史蒂文森。
史蒂文森的推广人表示；“这是一个非常不专业的行为，史蒂文森按IBF的规定做了他该做的，列米欧没有做他该做的，这是一个耻辱”。
David Lemieux made weight without issue Friday afternoon for his fight Saturday night against Curtis Stevens. We’ll never know, however, if Lemieux would’ve met the IBF’s second-day weigh-in obligation. Lemieux missed the IBF’s second-day weigh-in entirely Saturday morning in Verona, New York. Handlers for Lemieux (36-3, 32 KOs), who has held the IBF middleweight title, told Stevens’ handlers that they didn’t know about the second-day weigh-in for their 12-round middleweight match. In accordance with IBF rules, fighters cannot weigh more than 10 pounds over their division’s limit at weigh-ins conducted the morning after an official weigh-in. In this case, Lemieux, 28, and Stevens, 32, couldn’t weigh more than 170 pounds because the middleweight limit is 160. Stevens (29-5, 21 KOs) weighed in Saturday morning at 167¼ pounds. They were supposed to fight for the IBF North American middleweight title in their HBO “Boxing After Dark” main event at Turning Stone Resort Casino. That minor championship only will be on the line for Stevens now that Lemieux has failed to weigh in a second time. Montreal’s Lemieux, who has had well-documented difficulties ** the middleweight limit, weighed in at 159 pounds Friday afternoon. That was the lowest he has officially weighed for a fight since he weighed 159 prior to his seventh-round technical knockout defeat to Mexico’s Marco Antonio Rubio in April 2011. Brooklyn’s Stevens weighed in at 158¼ pounds Friday. His absence at Saturday’s second weigh-in could mean Lemieux added a significant amount of weight following Friday’s weigh-in, which could give him a size advantage over Stevens once they enter the ring late Saturday night. “It’s very unprofessional of Lemieux,” said Jolene Mizzone, vice president of operations for Main Events, Stevens’ promoter. “For Lemieux to have said all these bad things about Curtis, and then to do this, it’s just not professional. After the weigh-in [Friday], as a professional Curtis watched what he ate, followed the IBF’s rules and did what he was supposed to do this morning. It’s a shame Lemieux didn’t do the same thing.” HBO’s broadcast is set to start at 11 p.m. ET with a 10-rounder that’ll match Cuban-born junior lightweight contender Yuriorkis Gamboa (25-1, 17 KOs) against Nicaragua’s Rene Alvarado (24-7, 16 KOs). |
