    Haven't seen the weigh-in footage, just read the results over at the scene.

    Nothing hard, but Martinez's eyes looks like of someone who is dehydrated.

    I find it hard to believe that Martinez would be dehydrated at 158.

    I know he was overweight at the start of camp, but it is unlikely he has had to lose muscle mass.

    thats not the greatest picture. But everything in the media is about Martinez having to cut hard so I'll definitely be waiting for the YouTube vids tonight.

    Martinez didn't look all that drained to me in the video. Still, I get the feeling he will fade earlier than last time due to the weight loss, and lose a clear decision.

    It's on The Scene.

    Martinez looked fine. Maybe they were telling the truth (him weighing in after a full meal, full clothes on, etc). Go Martinez!!

    Don't buy into weigh-in photos. If history has taught us anything, it is that weigh-in photos deceive.

    Just watched the vid of the weigh-in and Martinez looked fine. He could probably still make 154 comfortably.

    I picked Martinez, but I heard an interesting point of view.. I can't remember where I heard it , but it had to do with how Williams got Caught in the first and proceeded to give up the next 3 rounds. And that if he doesn't get caught early, he shouldn't give away any rounds this go around.

    I remember watching the fight thinking that Williams was done after the first 3 rounds, he was off balanced and still looked a bit shocked from that initial KD.. but then he recovered well, and became the Williams we know.. throwing non-stop combos and winning many rounds due to it. I still thought Martinez won the first fight, I just believed his punches were doing more damage and were more effective... but I won't bash someone who thought Williams won a close one.. or if it was a draw.

    I picked Martinez to win this , I think if it goes to the scorecards again.. that the judges will give the Defending Champ the close rounds.

    But if Williams doesn't get caught early, he might just be too much for Martinez over 12 , such a hard fight to call. I can't wait to see it, I am a fan of both fighters.
