Canelo, (49-1-2, 34 KOs) stepped into the scales and weighed in at 159.4 lbs. The crowd in the full-packed arena were ecstatic to see their fighter posing for the cameras. Canelo looks strong, relaxed, and in tip-top shape. There's no indication that he struggled to get the weight. Although there's a clip circulated online showing Canelo fell down after the weigh-in. Well, to me, it seemed someone pranked Canelo and took the chair from him.
👀 Scary this, @Canelo collapsing at the weigh in, this will be down to severe dehydration, dangerous going into a fight, especially against @GGGBoxing 😳 #caneloggg2 pic.twitter.com/0F0VMSbw8q
