Breaking news: Berto, Ortiz reach agreement | RingTV
The fight will be in Vegas or New York. In a piece of absolute ridiculousness, they've agreed on a catchweight of 145lbs...plus one. So 146lbs then? What is the point of this? Ortiz is a massive 140lber and will likely come in heavier than Berto. Why does he need a catchweight, and more importantly, as the champion, why did Berto agree to it? It's not like Ortiz is a big enough star to make these demands.
Still, I guess we should just accept these little pieces of bullshit that distort weightclasses and get on with it. Least it's a good fight.
