Turhan and Baumgardner Make Weight for MVPW 07

The scale is out of the way. Elif Nur Turhan weighed 134.6 pounds and Alycia Baumgardner 133.8 ahead of their IBF lightweight title fight at MVPW 07 in Arlington. Both are under the division's 135-pound limit.

The Ring's weigh-in report and MVP's official event page independently list the same main-event weights. They also identify Turhan's IBF lightweight championship as the belt on the line.

Undercard weights, according to MVP: Ramla Ali is listed at 121.2 pounds and Mikiah Kreps at 120.8; Skye Nicolson at 121.4 and Miyo Yoshida at 120.6; Irma Garcia at 114 and Nataly Delgado at 114.6. These additional weights are attributed to the promoter's page, not independently confirmed here.

MVP lists Ali–Kreps for the vacant WBO and IBF super bantamweight championships and Nicolson–Yoshida for the WBC super bantamweight championship. Those undercard title descriptions are likewise attributed to MVP.

Kimster's take: making weight removes one obstacle; it does not decide a round. The main-event numbers are straightforward, and now the attention can move from the scale to how the fighters handle the assignment.
