It hasn\u2019t been hard. It\u2019s more difficult to get in the ring and battle against Paul Williams or Kelly Pavlik. Cutting weight\u2026 that\u2019s easy. My weight loss won\u2019t slow me down. On the contrary, I gain speed. The speed will bring more of the element of surprise. With more surprise brings more potential and ability. I\u2019ll be stronger than my last fight against Williams and Kelly Pavlik.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paul Williams: \u201cI don\u2019t see Sergio\u2019s weight making a difference,\u201d said The Punisher. \u201cHe\u2019s been doing this his entire career and he has been prevailing and performing. If he weighed in at 176 then he must have started the camp weighing 200lbs. Ultimately what matters, is that he comes in at 157 at the official weigh in. I had lunch 2 hours before I weighed-in to be sure I would be within weight guidelines (chuckling).\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/?p=4132\">RSR Is Looking for Entertainment Writers<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/?page_id=1371\">Advertise Now On RSR<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.authorhouse.com\/BookStore\/ItemDetail.aspx?bookid=13198\">Purchase Boxing Interviews Of A Lifetime<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday, reigning WBC middleweight champion Sergio \u201cMaravilla\u201d Martinez and three-time world champion Paul \u201cThe Punisher\u201d Williams went to the scales for the Official WBC 30-day Weigh-In.
