ESPN carried the live broadcast of Friday's weigh-in featuring WBA super middleweight champion, Mikkel Kessler, and, challenger, Andre Ward.

And the competitors' bodies did not disappoint.

Both looked as if they were cut from diamond as the qualified for the 168-pound limit -- Kessler at a chisled, 167, and, Ward, at a ripped, 166.5.

Each struck a body-builders' double-biceps pose, and there was some talking between them, as they stood, face-to-face, for photos.

From the early indications, Kessler (42-1, 32 knockouts) vs. Ward (20-0, 13 KOs) will be an appealing display of speed, athleticism and boxing skills waged before an enthusiastic crowd at the Oracle Arena in Ward's hometown of Oakland, Calif.
