i thought so too but Yahoo and Ring both mentioned it as 158. There were discrepancies in the reported catchweight with Pac-Marg also til about the last week.
158 isn't bad. Both guys could make 154 pretty easy still i'm sure. They are both small middleweights.
I take it this fight is also for the lineal MW strap...Then it should be 160, if it was non-title it shouldn't matter... Please fight World Title fights at the proper weight limits....Anything else just degrades the value of winning a world title...
Yeah, but clearly it's not going away. We all get mad every time this happens because it's a title fight, but it keeps happening over and over. I'd rather the fight went on at 158 than not at all over semantics.
Williams and Goosen demanded a catch weight of 158. Williams also demanded his personal judges again and his personal referee, venue and Goosen has control of everything and I mean everything. Yes, it so appears this will be a fixed fight to a certain degree. Martinez will have to knock Williams out to get a draw. Martinez was cheated the last time also.
I don't think this is as bad as Pacquiao-Margarito because one of these guys actually holds the title they are fighting for.
