Feldman (4-0, 2 KOs) weighed in at 153.4 pounds. Though this is his fifth fight, it's his seventh weigh-in. His weight has been between 152.5 and 154 pounds each time, which shows remarkable professionalism on his part. His opponent, Brian Shakoane (1-3, 1 KO), came in at 152.7 pounds. Throughout his career he has been the B-side, so he's taken fights in different classes. His lightest weight was 140.5 pounds for his debut in 2019. His heaviest was 157 for a KO victory last month.
After the weigh-in Feldman ate a bowl of cereal with bananas and a bagel with honey. He let that digest and then continued to load up on carbs with a pizza.
Zinman, and his opponent Masibulele Mjoli, are both making their pro debuts tomorrow. Zinman was 125.3 pounds while Mjoli was 126.5, a half pound over the limit. After the weigh-in, Zinman downed one and a half liters of rehydration drinks. He then chowed down on a fresh homemade bagel with butter, salt, and raw honey. Doron followed up his meal with more rehydration drinks.
Both Feldman and Zinman credited nutritionist Finn Kenny with helping them make weight.
