Baroni, Hose Weigh In for Icon Bout

HONOLULU, March 14 -- Competitors fighting on the Icon Sports "To Hell and Back" card Saturday gathered at the Ala Moana GNC to weigh in and make their bouts official.

Phil Baroni (Pictures) took full advantage of the one-pound leeway given to fighters, weighing in officially at 186 pounds after having to strip behind the curtains to squeeze in under the limit. "Kala Kolohe" Hose, on the other hand, stepped on the scales with weight to spare at a lean 184.2 pounds.

As the two middleweight challengers squared off for the media and fans in attendance, Hose tried on a number of different facial expressions for the photo opportunity, much to the annoyance of Baroni, who criticized the Hawaiian for not taking the opportunity seriously at a news conference on Wednesday.

One fighter on the undercard, Colin MacKenzie, was a no show at the weigh-ins. He left opponent Ricky Wallace temporarily without a fight. Luckily Brandon Pieper, twin brother of Bronson, was in fighting shape and offered to take the bout.

All other fighters on the 13-bout card stepped on the scales and made their fights official.
