Peterson vs. Matthysse is now a catchweight fight at 141lbs.

This way when Matthysse KO's or beats Peterson he won't take his title.

Which Peterson still holds even though he tested positive for steroid use.

We've been forced to accept catchweights as a way to get Fighter A (who can't drop below a certain weight) to meet Fighter B (who can barely bulk up to that same certain weight).... as a sort of middle ground. Now they're being used to play around with belts and titles??

Like DJ said back in the 2nd post, they're both 140-lb fighters. Just call it a non-title fight and carry on.

Nothing José Sulaiman does surprises me anymore.
The guy's a fucking clown and is doing his damnest to destroy boxing single-handedly.

Thsi fight ins't exciting at the sound of it... and if it isn't for a title at a division, then it is less than exciting.
