Although their first fight was contracted at the middleweight limit of 160 pounds, the rematch, which will be for Martinez's world title, is contracted at a catch weight of 157 pounds, which is what Williams weighed for the first fight; Martinez came in at 159. "It's at 157 because we didn't have a choice," DiBella said. "Williams wanted the catch weight. There was an issue on the weight and we gave on the weight."
atschatschatsch Why did DiBella and Martinez give into Williams' demands? It's the Middleweight title and Martinez is the Middleweight champion. What a load of bull**** if true. :nono
OMG a catchweight OMG!!!!!!!!! **** both of them!!!! Fight at a certain weight class!!! OMG this is ridiculous!!!!
Williams is spoiled. He always gets his way. Williams wants his home turf, his judges, his ref, Goosen's doctors at ringside to hold him down if Williams can push him out of the ring, etc. Martinez has the title, the fight should be held in Martinez' home turf and have, at least, neutral judges for a change. Williams is planning on cheating Martinez out of the title. Watch and see. This is a set-up. They should have known better than to give in to such crap!
anything 3 lbs above 154 if fine with me, who cares man its 3 ****ing lbs both can easily make the weight. Its not like when floyd mayweather made marquez come up 15 lbs to fight him, you guys make way too big a deal about these catchweights. Get the **** over it.
Im not one to always hate on catchweights, sometimes they are a good idea, but this is absurd. its for the middleweight title, right? not the catchweight 157 title. come on P-Will, just fight at the right weight, ****
Dont see the reason for it..i mean sergio can make the 157 lb weight and still eat ... Does anyone know if martinez 160lb title will be at up for grabs??
