Fuck me. There#s like three different weight classes between these two guys. Anybody have the fight night weights?

145 for Walters and 135 for Miguel

Walters looks like he could scoop him up and have a fookin ventriloquist act. He's enormous up top compared

[Kirkland Laing]

Not three but Walters a lot bigger. Jab is snapping Marriaga's head back.

[Kirkland Laing]

Walters had to pay a massive 3k fine to Marriaga for missing weight. No way Walters makes 126 again. Marriaga looking subdued in his corner.

I thought it was $40K

Never heard of either of these guys but watching the fight. I feel like hbo is all about walters though i feel the fights been pretty even so far.

So pissed that I am out if town and I can't find a place to watch this fight. I get the feeling that Walthers is disappointing though. I hope he looks impressive before it is all said and done because I was slowly becoming a fan.

Start of 11 and both guys looking a little shellshocked. Walters almost certainly wins on points but subdued victory. The crowd came for Verdejo and didn't even react when Walters got the KD. Will Walters have his power carry up to 130+? We may have seen the best of him as far as TV entertainment goes.

Picking up on a big dislike between Kellerman and Roy . Walters looking pretty lethargic and glad to hear end of 12th. In control but just work

[IamInuit]

I enjoyed that. Was expecting a ko but pleasantly surprised on the boxing match that ensued. Walters showed a lot more tonight as far as smarts and clean effective counter punching. Not just a ko artist.

[TitoFan]

The 10 pound difference was very apparent. Had they weighed the same it may have been a different story. Kudos to both fighters.... great fight.

Talk about a catch-weight fight. Marriaga signed to fight for the featherweight title but when he gets to the arena he learns that, to win the featherweight crown, he has to beat a welterweight.

In fairness though everyone knew that Walters cut a lot and Marriaga was a lightweight himself. I keep calling for same day weigh ins and even the crew did last night for a change.

I keep calling for same day weigh ins and even the crew did last night for a change.

I think Broner's contract with Porter is on the right track. Weigh in's the day before, but another weigh in the same day with a cap on how much you can rehydrate.

If the cap is 10lbs, and you're a giant for your weight class and you're cutting 15-20lbs, there's nobody who's going to go through the hell of cutting weight the day before and the day of. Nobody wants to be sweating off 5-10lbs in the sauna a few hours before fight time.
