    Who gives a **** what Tarver says!? Lara dominated and got the TKO against Brewer. Go watch the fight again and not just take Tarvers word for it.

    I suppose I favor the Punisher here, but I have to say. I am quite worried about his chin now. Sometimes when a fighters chin gets cracked, it just is never the same again. I hope that's not the case with him though.

    The polls don't mean much.

    Yes they do. Williams is the clear favorite and deserves to be. Lara needs to buckle down if he plans on winning.

    while the miamian in me would like to seee lara pull the upset and win i just dont think it will happen. After that molina fight lara showed he has much to work on. I think The punisher will fight composed and well to a clear UD.

    Hoping for a Lara victory, expecting a Williams one. Paul's a real warrior though. If he wins, great for him.

    Yup, I am also hoping for a Lara victory. That Williams throws punches by the hundreds and it's the only thing that worries me cause Lara's workrate is much less. But Lara could stop him with those razor sharp straight punches and his timing is also better. This fight is going to be really hard and difficult for both. Dale Lara !!!

    I can't wait to see who wins this one. Really tough fight for both, one is trying to prove his name to the boxing World and the other trying to come back from a devastating KO. Wow much credit to Lara for taking this tough fight so early in his career!

    Im hoping williams work rate will be too much and he wins by late stoppage. But i am also worried because he has taken a beating against martinez in their first fight and he got KTFO in the second. Go PW

    Paul is gonna dominate... I say lara wins a couple of early rounds then wilts under the immense pressure PDUB puts forth. TKO 9 PW

    I expect Williams to jump on Lara early and try to take his heart. He knows Lara has problems with pressure and will bring plenty of it come saturday night. At this point I just see Williams being all wrong for Lara who has good enough skills to prove me wrong. Props to both me for taking this fight though.
