One month out and Martinez is 176 pounds....meanwhile Williams is at 162

Unless he has simply thought fuck the catch weight? Maybe he just plans on coming in heavier and paying the penalty.

Unlikely, but could be

Martinez has never struggled with weight. In the Williams Martinez fight he rehydrated about 6lbs and in the Pavlik fight it was even less.

I can lose 12 lbs of water weight in a day, and I weight 145. A professional athlete and I had to lose 20lbs in 4 weeks, that makes it come down to about 2lbs a week, which is a lot more doable.

Martinez is not like Mayweather. A fighter who lures a Featherweight to "catchweight Welter" and bends the scales while laughing it off. I mean that was about the lowest you can go in my book. He's no better than Joan Guzman.

Martinez has character, and he shows up to work with his gloves because they make him wear them. They still gotta remind Mayweather to take his wife-beater (for you brits this is a style of shirt for us cookie americans. just watch the jersey shore. That's all the guys wear) off I guess when goes anywhere....

I am shocked more people are not excited about this fight. This is my second fight I am going to this year. Last was Martinez-Pavlik. He won a lot of fans that night. He's my favorite champ right now. Who will he NOT fight Tell you this much. He'd beat mayweather's ass to a pulp.

I'll be there too. And this is the #4 v. #5 p4p fighters going at it. And they are entertaining to watch. And their first fight was a fight of the year contender. And Zsolt Erdei is on the card in his first stateside fight. And rumor has it that Guerrero could appear on the card as well.

Let's assume Martinez healthily drops 10 pounds to 166 in the next week, can you drop 10 pounds in water weight on the day of? Also, does anyone have evidence that Sergio has done this in the past and that this is normal?
