Teofimo Lopez and Pedro Campa on Friday made weight for their junior welterweight fight Saturday at Resorts World Las Vegas in Las Vegas (ESPN, ESPN+).

Lopez, making his debut at the weight, came in at 138.8 pounds, 1.2 under the limit. Campa weighed 139.4.

Lopez (16-1, 12 KOs) lost the undisputed lightweight championship when George Kambosos Jr. defeated him by a split decision last November in New York.

One problem the 25-year-old Brooklyn fighter had, he said, was difficulty making 135.

Campa (34-1-1, 23 KOs) has a gaudy record but the 30-year-old Mexican hasn’t faced an opponent near the caliber of Lopez.

This will be the second time he has fought in the United States.
