The defending champ Shunpei Ohata, Japan, couldn’t make the 130-pound class limit only to tip the beam at 130.75, three quarters of a pound over, losing his belt on the scale. His Filipino challenger Pete Apolinar successfully weighed in at 129.75 so that should he be victorious over WBO#10 Ohata, he will become the new WBO AP titleholder.
