Comments Thread For: Paul Williams-Nobuhiro Ishida To Happen at 155-Pounds

[dans]

This has to be the dumbest catchweight I've ever heard of.

PWill ain't got the strength or physicality at MW he will b tough at WW and JMW but not MW too much weight and at MW he can't handle the power but he should pick a weight class for him self.. I honestly don't care about the CW as long as the two fighter's r OK with it CW has being there long before any of us were even born Idk why now it's a problem all of a sudden??? Maybe dumb idiots trying to hate on WAPAKMAN HAHAHA well should b a good fight cuz both r almost the same size..

I always thought he should he should have stayed at 154. I remember when PW called out Hopkins at 170 then two days later called out Pac at 147.

Paul is still the one moving down in weight. Nobu has a 1 pound breathing room advantage. Paul still has to drop weight relative from his 160lbs.

However I do agree that if a fight is supposed to be a JR MW fight (meaning the "limit" is 154), it should be 148-154. MW is 155-160 with a 160lb limit).

Williams claimed he could still fight at WW, but needs a catchweight that's 1 pound above JMW? Haha

In other words: Black man involved, it's ok.

Nope. I dont subscibe to that line of thinking....but this is a "tune up" for PWill. I dont see the issue here, and Pwill is the one at a greater disadvantage in any case. He has to drop 5 pounds, his opponent nothing.

the only minor issue might be, PWill has stated that he can make 147 with no problem....so he can be accused of lying.

Completely pointless catchweight, but the fight isn't for anything so it's not that important. As for the Williams hate, it's just kinda funny. People crush Floyd for not taking risks, and then crush Williams because he took a rematch with Martinez that he didn't have to take and got knocked out. Some consistency would be nice, but that's never going to happen. As for the fight itself if PW can't dominate this guy then he really is done.

who cares, its one pound and dude is coming off a crushing KO.

its not like its for some kind of title.

Did you expect anything else?

1 loss and a fighter is a fraud, shot, exposed...

Catchweight is a non-issue, I'd watch this.
