Danny Williams Pummeled By a Seven Fight CRUISERWEIGHT !!

Danny Williams 'second career' as Latvian trialhorse surely must be over after this travesty at the weekend?

His marketability as a one time 'Tyson Conqueror' must be zero now.

I honestly think this is the saddest thing I've ever read in my 30 plus years as a boxing fan, it's even worse that it's happened to my favorite fighter.

Most of Danny's losses during this 'second career' have been depressing but this is horrible. One can only assume that Danny had been in training cancelled Bedarin Toma fight on the 31st, the phone rang, he was offered this and on the plane once more.

So many sad/bizarre aspects to this:

1. The opponent is listed as a Cruiser on Boxrec

2. He's only had seven fights, though on some of the links he's down as 17 - 1, 18 - 1, and 19 - 1. But he's had a load of fights on those 'Bigger is Better' farces (he was winner of one) they don't go on the record.

3. It was on some hybrid MMA/K1/Boxing promotion

4. It's now being regarded as an 'exhibition' ('exhibitions' rarely see anyone dropped four times)

5. He got peanuts for it, 2.5 grand at todays conversion rate.

6. His punch resistance is now zero or his ambition is so lacking he's going down from shots he's have taken a few years ago.

7. I don't want to see him fight again, but at the same time it's a truly horrible way for a superb career to end (it will be even worse if he loses to Negus is the summer)

8. I don't like the look of Danny in that YouTube clip, he looks a bit 'vacant/spaced out/glassy eyed' something doesn't seem right, I hope to God it's not the sign of some neurological damage.

 

****ing hell this is sad, Shame on any athletic commission that allows him still to box.:-(
