Clark came in at 158.2 pounds for his lightweight preliminary
contest against Lance Gibson,
and the bantamweight bout between Juan

officially weighed 144.6 pounds.
Looking to gain the title, Borics (18-1) is riding a four-fight win
streak. In his last outing, Borics went five rounds with Mads
Burnell and emerged with a unanimous decision victory. His only
professional defeat came to Darrion
Caldwell in January 2020. “The Kid” stepped on the scale
weighing 145 pounds.
