By Jake Donovan - The 2012 season premiere of Showtime Championship Boxing is officially underway, as all four televised fighters made weight for Saturday’s show live from the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Headlining the telecast is a 12-round junior middleweight showdown between former two-division titlist Paul Williams and Japanese contender Nobuhiro Ishida. Both fighters honored the contracted 155 lb weight limit, Ishida making weight on the dot while Williams came in slightly lighter at 153.5 lb. [Click Here To Read More]

Why 155? Odd weight.

War Punisher, I hope he has enough left to get one more good run in at 154.

It's not uncommon for non-title fights to feature a limit of +/- 1 lb.

Is this the first time Williams has fought anyone even close to his own height?

I would love to see the winner of this fight face the Kirkland vs Molina winner.

As far as I know, yes.

And so much for the "new and slimmed down" Chris Arreola he weighs 245. his last four fights he was 240, 236 twice and 234.

Both Cloud & Campillo look great.
