Comments Thread For: 30-Day Weight: Sergio Martinez 176, Paul Williams 162

Williams 162??? This guy really must be Somalian!!! And what's Martinez doing getting all up to 176 at this stage??? Does he normally weight that when he competes at 154?

Thats the thing, hes not a 154lber anymore. Dunno why people think that. He weighed 159 for his last two fights with Williams n Pavlik.

It won't be a problem... Martinez will easily make the weight. Another example when Arthur Abraham was still fighting in the mw division, he used drop 16 pounds only in the week before the fight...

Well, its not too big of a deal for fighters to weight way more than the weight class they fight at. Martinez, IMO probably weighs about 180+ when he doesnt train. Roberto Duran weighed 180 walking around before he cut weight to 147.

I surmise that Williams WOULD walk around at about 175+ lbs, if he didnt continually train like he normally does; especially for someone who still contends that he can make the 147 lb limit. So, for Williams, training year round is necessary (I believe I heard him say once that the heaviest he weighed when he WASNT training was 177 walking around, dont quote me on that tho)

I think you can say it goes both ways. 30 days out and Martinez is 176, while Williams is only 5 pounds away from making weight? From expercience i can say that after a run/ workout you can lose 5+ pounds, plus add the fact that Sergio had clothes and shoes on. From the pics ive seen of him lately, he looks in shape. Lets hope his camp is going good. He still has plenty of time.

LOL @ people thinking this is an issue.

LOL @ people thinking this is an issue.

Williams made it an issue when he asked for a catchweight.

Oh but its not an issue when its Williams.....gotcha.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure those 2lbs will forever destroy Sergio

Surely he could still make 154 if he need to though right?





On topic, I'm rooting for Martinez to win this fight and while this doesn't sound great we don't know the dynamics of his body and what is "normal" for him. Sergio is extremely professional and knows how big this fight is for him at this age, I doubt he has just let himself go and neglected his training. I'm sure he will be on weight and healthy come fight time.

Martinez wins by UD by an even bigger margarin this time around.
