Nathaniel Collins today weighed a solitary pound more than tomorrow night's featherweight rival, Cristobal Lorente.
The pair, who fought to a 12-round draw last October, go again over the same distance in a WBC eliminator at Glasgow's OVO Hydro.
Scotland's Collins, 17-0-1 (8 KOs), came in at 125.4lbs compared to Spain's Lorente, 20-0-3 (8 KOs), who tipped the scales at 124.4lbs.
Last time, which also took place in Glasgow and was defined by cards of 115-113,113-115, 114-114, Collins started as favorite and admitted the burden of pleasing the crowd affected his performance. Specifically, he tried too hard to get the stoppage.
“I just felt the need to show entertainment or the need to provide a knockout," Collins told BoxingScene. "It wasn't pressure as such. I just felt like I had to go out there and give everybody a show.”
This time he insists he will do whatever it takes to win, even if that means boxing clever for 12 rounds.
