Why,why,why..would martinez-williams 2 be at a catchweight??please explain

[infamous larryx]

First fight was at 160 right??

Its for the 160 linear title not some paper belt

williams has fought at 160 more times than martinez right??

So whats this catchweight **** all about??


Theres no logic here at all

[Doctor_Tenma]

Larry, I would also like to know man. I'm upset with the whole thing aswell.

[jrosales13]

It doesn't matter IMO.

It is going to be an entertaining fight. And, I don't see anybody having a problem making 157.

The smaller man Williams doesn't want to give Martinez the bigger man the edge. loooooooooool

Goodness how many times must this be asked.

1. First, there is no confirmationfrom either camp thats it even a catch weight in the first place.

2. If there is a 157 pound catch weight my guess is that Williams is trying to give off the illusion that he can fight under 160 Pounds still.

3. Also he was trying to get to 147 Pounds and is nowhere near 160 Pounds right now.

4. Why would Williams ask for a catch weight that WILL NOT affect Martinez in any way?

Stop overreacting everybody. Larry you said it yourself hes fought at 160 over 15 times. So that right there tells you it has nothing to do with trying to gain some advantage as the NSB trolls are on a mission to prove.

[BostonGuy]

All the big name fighters these days are fighting at 'catchweights.' Mayweather fought JMM (at catchweight) and now Pacquaio is fighting Margarito at a specific weight. It's a sign of the times...

[Pin Galarga]

Because Paul "The most Avoided fighter" Williams is looking for more advantages than the 1st fight. It will backfire because Martinez makes 154 easier than PW.
It's a punk move by PW.

[The Hammer]

I'm surprised Paul Williams doesn't want the Ring (linear) title at middleweight.

I think 157 is the ideal fighting weight for Sergio Martinez.

[CarlosG815]

Everybody is trying to take cheap shots at Paul because of the heat Manny takes. Here's the difference. Manny asks guys that fight at 160 and walk around at 175 to make 147, or if they're a little more skilled, 142. This is not the same as asking a guy who fought at 147 and 154 his entire career to come in at 157.

It's pointless, but totally not the same as what Pacquiao does. Martinez will not be weight drained at 157. He will be just as efficient as he is at 154 and 160. Pointless, yes. Advantageous for Paul the way it was advantageous for Manny? Not even close.

You *******s really are the worst boxing fans in the world. Just join a Manny fansite, **** a boxing forum.

Such a hypocrite, you were the first on here moaning like a 2 whore bimbo when pac and marg was at a catch weight for the title. Now when your 2nd lover williams does it you make excuses for him?

you are a disgrace
