Sergio Martinez was WEIGHT DRAINED WITH A CATCHWEIGHT, so how come he won?

[Aussie!]

I didn't mean the catchweight...I was referring to why Martinez may have won the fight....and it may just so happen to be that Paul is REALLY a WW....if a MW punch touches a WW chin the way Sergio touched Paul's....then its good night.....hope I cleared that up

gotcha.

so until pac gets ko'd at a higher weight, we wouldn't know what his ideal weight division should be.

just goin by the same logic.

[intoccabile]

Just another catchweight fight where the catchweight had ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT ON THE FIGHT because of the 24 hr rehydration catchweight.

So what happened to catchweights turning fighters into zombies & physically destroying fighters body & rendering them useless?

I feel absolutely vindicated making the 24 hr rehydration rule makes Catchweights criticism irrelevant thread:

Add sergio martinez vs paul williams to the list of big fighters made to use catchweights yet still won:

Bernard Hopkins vs Oscar
Pernell vs Chavez
Hopkins vs Pavlik
Ray Leonard vs Tommy Hearns 2
Terry Norris vs Meldrick Taylor


I guess we can only criticize catchweights when pac uses it & beats them even though it has zero effect on the fight.


ANOTHER DOUBLE STANDARD EXPOSED.


Catchweights = Placebos.

Everyone...is...different.

Catch weights also change training routines.

the TS is a dumb ass who knows **** about boxing.

An excuse to protect one's fav fighter or to discredit a fighter's victory. Props to Sergio for making things clear a bit.

not hating on sergio but actually giving him props. im talking about all the people that say catchweight fights = weight drained fighters = LOSS.

its not my fault you have horrible reading comprehension.
