Cano had a full hour as per the championship rules to make weight but still failed to , If Cano defeats Malignaggi he will not win the title.

There was better news for Mexican legend Erik Morales. Not only did he make the weight ahead of his world title challenge against Danny Garcia but he also passed a third drug test.

Morales tested positive for clenbuterol on October 4 and October 10, but then tested negative for the drug in a third test on Wednesday according to the New York Daily News.

Late Friday Morales tweeted “No need to worry about the psychological issue. I’m very focused on the fight, I’m a clean athlete.”
