Sergio Martinez vs. Paul Williams II

[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

I put it in the other thread but Max Boxing - News - Williams vs. Martinez II: For the HBO Middle-Catchweight Championship of the World

Williams demanded the catchweight.

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.
