According to Boxingscene.com Sergio Martinez the WBC junior middleweight champion is set and ready to face Paul Williams in palce of Kelly Pavlik. Just reciently Kelly Pavlik pulled out of the Dec. 5th showdown with Paul Willaims due to a continuing staph infection in his left hand. Jack Loew told several news outlets that the staph infection has become so bad that he is able to even close his fist.
Martinez is scheduled for a December 12th non-title fight on the undercard of the Malignaggi-Diaz fight. And it just so happens that Martinez is in camp training for a southpaw.
Lou DiBella seems to only have one issue with the whole situation. Weight. Although he seems to be open to making the fight at 160 for the right money.
"My guy has to be treated like a champion and not some second-class opponent. We are looking to make a defense of the green belt at 154. I'm willing to entertain any conversation about the fight taking place at middleweight but for every pound they want above 154, there better be a lot of money associated with it." DiBella Said.
