    they've agreed a non title match on december 5th at middleweight. Williams also has a rematch clause in the contract.

    I personally think Williams is getting the short end of the stick, Phillips got stripped for fighting him, now with martinez it's a non title fight. If he wins this he'll have beaten 3 of the best LMW of our generation, without holding a belt there! It earns him respect but it won't give him a payday.

    I'd like to see him face off agianst spinks if he can get past Martinez.

    From what I've read, it's his camp that wanted it at middle, without the 154 title. Because, the weight-changing wonder doesn't want to screw up his momentum at 160, where he wants Pavlik...eventually. That makes it pretty unlikely to me that he's ever going down to 147 again and a little unlikely that he's really focused on ever picking up a 154 title.

    why is it a non-title fight if Martinez is the WBC champ? Is it a 10 rounder?

    It's already been explained. The fight will take place at middlweight where neither guy holds a belt.

    True, and Williams demanded a rematch clause. PDub is a good fighter, but the more interviews I read, the less I like him.

    Stop going around telling people you like him and he's losing your respect!

    People might actually think your genuine!!

    Your not a PW fan because every thread that his name is brought up you have something negative to say!!!

    Goosen has nothing to do with it. PW and Peterson talk an endless stream of bull****, and it is not warranted.

    They said the fight will be at MW but i think it's just going to be a little over 154. I think both will come in under 160.

    This is a great matchup.

    Probably... I expect them to weigh in at about 155 - 157. Since both guys are really jr. middleweights there's no need to pack on the pounds to face one another.

    How is Williams supposed to feel about being jilted twice by a guy who everyone thinks is going to knock his ****ing head off?



    Williams is confident in his abilities, and he is not waiting around for Pavlik in order to prove it. Get over it.

    He shouldn't have to wait. Hats off to Martinez for stepping up on short notice. I expect PW to win. He'll get his fight with KP, and find out he's not near as good as Peterson thinks he is.
