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

[Ant Live]

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

That is true but I would not doubt that analogy by @bzkfn that he would lose his place in line for the green and gold. He's the interim champ which puts him in front of the #1 ranked Postol.

Whatever the reason this is pathetic. And boxing wonders why its losing fans. Slow and methodical erosion.

I have another theory...and that is that GBP know that Garcia is going to give up his WBC title and they know if Matthysse keeps his position he'll automatically become WBC full Champion, thus keeping the belt away from any of Arum's boys such as Rios/Alvarado. This way GBP keeps the belt monopoly at 140lbs.

So you predicting Garcia to beat Judah and the winner of Peterson vs Matthysee?
WON'T BET ON IT!!!

Problem with that theory is Matthysse wants Garcia more than the WBC title. He's gonna continue to chase the fight. Not the title

@Silkeyjoe you cracked my cryptic code . That's exactly what I was getting at.

[bzkfn]

The reason for the catchweight has been revealed. Apparently the issue is with the IBF. They don't allo unification fights for interim belts, they also won't approve Matthysse as a title defence. Gotta be bollocks surely? He must be in their top 15?

Schaefer Explains The Peterson-Matthysse Catch-Weight - Boxing News

[Nameless]

Talk about more proof that trinkets should start coming with rental agreements. Can we just start announcing winners as "and the NEWWWW catchweight champion of Jose Sullied'mans world"

Gimmicks, tricks and cons.

This. Simply this. Thus said, rumors are that Sullied'sman is working on the pearl belt. That would be a belt for those competing in 2 different weight categories, that would be unbeaten but that wouldn't have belts in one of those categories. For a small fee, they could defend the pearl belt

I can see that crooked slug doing a copy & paste on your idea right now The alphabet bodies sound more and more like a gaggle who know they are on borrowed time

Clear self inflicted wound that says..."we dont need you" Good fighters, earned spots, 12 rounds..."Trinkets? We dont need no stinkin trinkets"

At the very leat, he would give my idea a very very long and contemplated thought. Perhaps he'd like to change "pearl" by "steel" to sound more warrior or "platinum" to give an even better fake value but he would think about the idea.
