Saul "Canelo" Alvarez successfully passed the WBC's mandatory 7-day weigh-in. Under the supervision of a WBC representative, Canelo weighed in at 160.2 pounds. Canelo weighed in at 167.8 pounds at the WBC's 30-day weigh-in.

To date, Canelo has sparred a total of over 170 rounds.

On November 21 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Canelo will challenge Miguel Cotto for the WBC middleweight championship, with HBO Pay-Per-View carrying the bout. The fight is taking place at catch-weight of 155-pounds.

Canelo has fought his last three bouts at 155. Cotto, although standing as the middleweight champion, has yet to fight at the full middleweight limit. His last two bouts took place at catch-weights of 159 and 157.

Cotto's 7-day weight was not provided at the moment, but he's the obvious smaller man in the contest.

The winner of the contest will have to make a mandatory defense against WBA/IBF/IBO champion Gennady "GGG" Golovkin, who plans to sit ringside and watch the two boxers battle it out for the title he wants.
