David Malul and Colin Huntington Weigh In

“King” David Malul and Colin Huntington both made weight ahead of their welterweight clash at Melrose Ballroom in Queens, New York, USA. The weigh-in had a brief contentious moment. This fight is the main event of Malul’s promotional debut.

Malul (3-0, 2KOs) weighed in at 146.6 pounds. This is the same weight as his debut. He was 147.4 pounds for his previous two contests. The 22 year old Queens native will be fighting for the first time since March and the first time in his home borough.

Huntington came in at 147.6 pounds, within New York’s 147-plus-one-pound allowance. The 23 year old from Kalamazoo, Michigan is 3-6 with 2KOs. Malul had a few words for Huntington during the face off when the “Hunter” methodically crossed himself, kissed the index finger of his right hand and pointed to the sky. Malul raised both arms, showing off his biceps.

When the two turned to the crowd, Huntington pounded his chest and let out a scream. Malul calmly motioned that Huntington was all bark and no bite. Huntington then crossed himself again and pointed both pointer fingers upward.
