Earlier today, Femke Hermans and Mary Spencer weighed in ahead of their rematch for the vacant IBF junior middleweight title showdown at the Montreal Casino, Montreal.

Hermans, The Ring’s No. 4 ranked junior middleweight, came in at 152.9. The 33-year-old, who dominated Spencer last December, enters the contest with a record of 16-4 (7 knockouts).

Meanwhile, Spencer weighed slightly under the division limit at 153.4. The 38-year-old former amateur standout has a record of 7-1 (5 KOs)

In the chief supporting bout, Erik Bazinyan (30-0, 21 KOs), The Ring’s No. 6 ranked super middleweight, tipped the scales at 166.4, while his opponent Ronald Ellis (18-3-2, 12 KOs) came in at 167.1 ahead of their NABF 168-pound clash. Bazinyan took exception to Ellis holding his fist near his jaw, the two exchanged words and Bazinyan shoved Ellis. Order was quickly established.
