    How is this bad for Matthyssee? If he wins he will get another big fight. Schaefer has already said the damn winner is fighter the winner of Judah vs Garcia. Stop crying like a ***** you dont hear Mathyssee crying. He is going to lose anyways. This way he keeps his number 1 contender spot after he gets his ass kicked.

    I know what you're saying, but it is NOT a junior welterweight fight. It is a welterweight fight now.

    Even Peterson beats Matthysse, he cannot (w/o people being hypocrites) elevate above Matthysse in the junior welter rankings. And it would not be enough to rank him among the welters.

    This is why I still have repsect for a guy like Khan who actually ****ing stepped up to Maidana when no one would, called T bradley out and faced Peterson. a 1 lb catch weight? How much more bullshitt can this get?

    This. It's great for the 141-pound division. A shallow division historically, but hopefully this marks the beginning of a bright future.

    I think DLH might be trying to help the WBC become established as the main belt in return for favourable rankings. So basically he is not wasting any more time on with any belts other than the WBC.

    Obviously just a guess.

    I dont have a problem with this catch weight. I have a problem when people try to use catchweights as a means to gain some advantage like Manny did.
