Trainer Freddie Roach surprisingly admits that he's not a fan of catch-weight fights. The statement is surprising considering that two of Roach's biggest names—Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto—have demanded catch-weight stipulations from several of their opponents.

Cotto had in place modified weight limits with Antonio Margarito (maximum of 153 lbs. for their Dec. '11 rematch), Sergio Martinez (159 lbs., despite Martinez coming in as World middleweight champion) and Daniel Geale (157 lbs). He says a catch-weight stipulation will be in place for anyone who wants to face him for the middleweight title.
