yeah, but it wasn't to fight badasses like Geale, lmao!  Who's next, a catchweight to fight Marco Antonio Rubio?

 

Oscar did it to fight HOFers like Hopkins.

Hear ye, hear ye, read all about it!!!!!!

 

Diva just challenged Sergio Mora to fight!!!!  Must fight at 146 for the middleweight title at Madison Square Garden, with Joe Cortez reffing, and Mora must stop training 3 weeks before the fight.

 

Oh yeah, he wants the red corner, too!!!

I got no problem with catchweights as long as they are sensibly applied; they help to ensure a number of big fights that might not happen are made and that's good in my book!!

I understand but if one of the two fighters has to overdrain and overtrain to make weight, then we aren't seeing him at his best.

I can agree its not always ideal, but it works out well on many occasions!!
