    It does matter.


    Angulo has never fought at 160 to my knowledge. 6 pounds is a lot in boxing. A whole lot.

      If true this is Martinez's fault.

      I said this would happen. Whats the pointof fighting him at 154 with no belts there? He took away a great reason to fight him with the risk involved.

      He dropped and kept the wrong belts. ****** decision.

        Martinez offered his 160 titles at 155. No excuse.

          No one wants it with Sergio.

          I hear Paul Williams' face is appearing on milk cartons.

            But its not like anyone is at any physical disadvantage, they are the same size and both are at the advantage of not having to make a huge cut to make weight.

            Both fighters come in on FN regularly from 165-167, I could see it mattering if Sergio was a real MW but he is not.

              All roads lead to Alfredo Angulo. He's the draw, he has a whole country behind him. What does Martinez have? Alphabet titles, what else? Argentina doesn't even support Martinez.

              La Perra can pick and choose who ever he wants.

              All roads lead to Alfredo Angulo.

                Even on top of that Angulo is clearly comfortable at 154 Pounds and doesnt want to move up to 160.

                  But I'm not mad at Angulo for not taking the offer. He's not ready for Martinez. If he got outboxed by Cintron, how would he have a chance against the guy who knocked him the f**k out?
                  I didnt know that Martinez was willing to do all that. If thats the case this is a clear duck and Angulo shouldnt say he will fight anyone because that has now been proven to be bull****
