    Certain weight usually between their divisions,for example Pavlik(who usually fights at 160) will fight Hopkins(who usually fight at 175) at 170 catchweight

    That's pretty much the definition for it. A set weight for a particular fight which is not fought at the limit of one of the existing weight divisions.
