    Why the hell is Martinez at 176LBS 30 days out is what I really want to know.

    Even if the fight was at 160... I'd like to think he would be lower than that...

    All the sudden you are in the final four weeks of trying to lose 16+ LBS...

    This will be the toughest fight of his career.

        Alright... well that could be 6LBS.... which would put him at 170... 12lbs away..

        Still seems steep, but doable.

          Williams camp prob knew Martinez wasn't in shape(may be the reason the fight took so long to be made official)...now Martinez has a short amount of time to lose a good amount of weight...and add on 2 more pounds...just cuz we can make you do that...

          Paul beats his ass..............lol well maybe not

              I haven't been following lately...

              But Martinez must not be in the gym or/and doing roadwork if he's that heavy...

              There's gotta be a reason they made it 158...someone had to know Martinez must have trouble making 160 while P.Will can jump all over diff weights...

              Or Pacquiao was involved in the negotiations...

                    True...

                    Maybe there hoping the weight loss affects him...unless they think 2 pounds is gonna benefit Williams, or take some steam off Sergio's punches...lol

                    176(or maybe 170) is a lil high tho...even if he drops weight easily...

                      Wanting an advantage? Maybe


                      KNOWING Martinez wasn't in shape... BEFORE training camp even started?

                      Ridiculous.
