[Rantcatrat]

Is this fight at a catchweight of 155? Is it because Williams demanded it?

I believe the catchweight is 158 as for the why I'm not sure

Sergio speaking on the catchweight:

Boxing - Q&A: Sergio Martinez

What kind of statement are you looking to make in your second fight with Paul Williams?
I’m going in there to show the world that I’m the better fighter, with all the excuses he made in not wanting to make the fight happen and one of them being that the fight had to happen at 158 pounds or the fight won’t happen at all and things like that. The rules and the weight classes are in place for a reason and for him to want to fight outside of those rules just doesn’t make sense to me. That really surprised me about him, I thought that he was the type of fighter that would fight no matter what but that’s not the case, but it is what it is.

Very strange, maybe he heard that Martinez was big and had alot of weight to shift? Considering Williams was prepared to fight Pavlik at the weight and has also stated he could go to 168.

Williams demanded the catchweight.

Interesting, understandable as well even if it is misguided, no way was Williams gonna get a fight with Pac or Mayweather, especially this year. Williams must have those hollow bird bones or something.

As Skel said though, it's a little odd that the "most feared fighter in the world" from 147 to 168 would want a catchweight for a middleweight title fight. Pacquiao may believe he is not quite big enough to fight at 154 so he fights at 150, but Williams is definitely big enough to fight at 160 - he has before against Winky, Sergio, and Kolle. One thing clear is that Williams wasn't comfortable with Sergio fighting at 160.

[No Contest]

Ok, Williams gives the guys a rematch, but no, people gotta find a way to bitch about 2 lbs. Havent seen Kermit Cintron rematch him. Martinez is just mad because he balloons up between fights? I dunno why he's bitching at least he got the rematch...

[armin]

"Havent seen Kermit Cintron rematch him." rematch who, martinez Did you see that fight, cintron knows he got an assrapage comming if that fight was to happen again as. As for the catchweight it is kind of stupid since he has fought at the weight before now all of a sudden he can't... As for the fight I like both guys but hope martinez can etch it out he's only got this and maybe a couple more fights in him.
