Paul Williams-Sergio Martinez Will Be at 160-pounds

[GOD-FR33]

Williams 4 sure.

No way WILLIAMS will lose this one. Don't expect any surprises from MARTINEZ. He's a solid fighter but not in the league of WILLIAMS.

how you know martinez didn't want it at 160 as well so he could keep his strap at 154?

Martinez very well could of asked for Middle, understandably so he can keep his belt regardless of the outcome

but it is Paul's TV date and I would just think that Williams could be the one pushing the buttons.

maybe when the Clottey negotiations blew up, Sergio said he couldn't make 154 in such short time

so to preserve the fight it had to be at 160.

but again until we get more specific details its all guesswork at this point.

Boo fuckin hoo. People need to remember that Paul is the shot caller when it comes to these second priority fighters like Martinez and Clottey. Maybe if Martinez actually fought Williams when he was not looking to fight Pavlik yet in the aftermath of his win over Winky the fight may have happened at 154. He waited until Williams moved out of 154 to decide he wanted to fight him.

if Paul really was shot calling so to speak, he made a bad one in fighting Serg at 160, oppose to for his belt.

but maybe Serg straight up didn't want to fight at 154, who knows.

and who's to say Paul flat out left Junior Middle? just last November Williams was fighting at that weight class

People complain far too much. If Martinez is the real deal he will be able to move up 6 lbs, it isn't that big of a deal. Problem is Williams is very skilled and will tax his ass at 54 or 60. Its obvious that Williams will never touch welter and probably isn't going to be fighting at 154 anymore. To much bitching about a few pounds by boxing fans now a days, this is why we need to scrap some of the bs weight divisions. A fights a fight, and Martinez is not on the skill level as a Williams is.

cant agree mare . War Pwill Punish em

Williams has an identity crisis right now when it comes to what weight he fights at because so few fighters have the courgage to fight him like Martinez does.

its not a skill to change weight classes its a skill to have skills. :-/ PWill vs SM is just a replacement fight big picture i think pw is setting things up for future moves. Moving classes is exciting for the fans, difficult for the individual, but for an opponent pwill can come in beat your ass then go to another weight class for two years hypothetically. And he's just an awkward match for any fighter at any weight, too fast for alot of bigger fighters (pavlik is a robot) and we'll c what he does to martinez
