Gary 'Spike' O’Sullivan said he was in better shape than his opponent Erislandy, 'The American Dream' Lara, after the Corkman weighed in at exactly 159 pounds in Brooklyn yesterday [FRIDAY] ahead of tonight’s world title bid.

The popular 37-year-old middleweight who is two years younger than the Cuban champion clocked in three quarters of a pound lighter in front of a sizable crowd gathered outdoors at the Barclays Center in Downtown Brooklyn.
