Comments Thread For: DiBella Considers Martinez-Cotto Catch Weight "Silly"

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Promoter Lou DiBella finds it “silly?and “annoying?that the Sergio Martinez-Miguel Cotto middleweight title fight will be contested at a maximum catch weight of 159 pounds.

Nevertheless, their contracts call for Martinez and Cotto to weigh no more than 159 pounds, one beneath the middleweight limit, for their highly anticipated June 7 showdown for Martinez’s WBC middleweight title at Madison Square Garden (HBO Pay-Per-View). The 33-year-old Cotto (38-4, 31 KOs) began his pro career 13 years ago as a junior welterweight, three weight classes below middleweight, and has never fought at a weight higher than the junior middleweight limit of 154 pounds.

Cotto is a diva

Cotto only fights for Lineage at the full weight.

So far he's fought for 0 Lineages.

This is his first attempt and it's at a catchweight.

This is the 2nd dumb attempt at a catchweight Cotto has done... remember Margo at 153??

[Box-Office]

Cotto winning this won't count for ****. This will be a catch weight title for him IF he wins. Sadly for him Maravilla is a natural 154 who had to go to 160 to get useful fights. So, Cotto is really digging a deeper hole with this.

[F!x]

Martinez weighed in 159.5 for Murray, 159 for Chavez Jr and 157.5 for Macklin. That's his last 3 fights.

So the catchweight should have no real impact on him.

Haha dibella

Nobody cares what Dibella says or thinks. This is Cottos show do as he says or fight for peanuts. Know you role ( b side) and shut your mouth.

Total ego move. Just like Margarito.

Now MARTINEZ and DI BELLA are looking ridicolous,if all COTTO's demands are so DIVA and SILLY..WHY DID YOU SIGN TO FIGHT HIM? You chose to fight COTTO at his terms so SHUT UP NOW,take the money,fight at MADISON SQUARE GARDEN on PPV and STFU!!!

Cotto showing is negotiation muscles.
Why at 59? Because Miguel Cotto said so.
