By Marc Livitz: Oscar “Kaboom” Rivas took over half an hour to really and truly come to life on Friday night at the Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York.

WBA lightweight champion Vasiliy Lomachenko and WBO lightweight titleholder Jose Pedraza weighed in Friday before their title unification battle at Madison Square Garden in New York on Saturday.
