LAS VEGAS -- In front of another wild weigh-in crowd of several thousand fans, Kelly Pavlik and Jermain Taylor each made the 166 pound limit on Friday afternoon at the MGM Grand Arena.

Pavlik weighed in at 164, while Taylor was 164 pounds.

Like it was in Atlantic City for their first fight, Pavlik had a strong fan following. Taylor's name drew boos, while chants of "Kelly! Kelly!" ran throughout out the arena.

Saturday's rematch is expected to start between 11 p.m. and 11:15. Pavlik is a slight favorite. There are some tickets available, although the $100 tickets and $600 seats are both almost sold out. HBO's pay-per-view broadcast is $49.95.
