    Excuse me? Williams was "winning"?? Awful gameplan, man. Paul obviously thought that his opponent was some kid that he could slap around. Too bad for him.

    i dunno...close fight the first time...this one was obviously one-sided...if it was another close fought, hard to pick-em fight, i'd say sure, rubber...but not the way this ended

    Steward was way off. People get so easily swayed by announcers. I was like "no, just no, Martinez is landing the harder, ko type of punches". Just like in the first fight. Williams looked strong though.

    Exactly.Lucky shot my ass he had landed about three lefts in the exact same sequence(less power of course) within the first minute of round 2.

    That was a brutal KO, how can you expect a man to get in another potential war where he will most likely lose by KO again, his life would be in jeopardy and permanent brain damage. After a KO like that a fighter is never the same.

    Freak he is arguably 2-0 up, so he doesn't deserve it unless you want williams dead he was outclassed, Martinez knew what to do from the 1st round and executed

    a third march would end pauls career in high profile fights. he would get ko again and no one would want to match him up big again. let him ride this lucky punch nonsense and build a couple good safe wins and see what happens.

    Martinez beat Williams in the first fight. He has beaten Williams two times now. Martinez took the fight out of Williams' judge hands this time.

    Cintron is not Martinez. I probably would want him to get a few tuneup fights, but to be honest he is now 29, how much time can Williams wait. But a rematch with Martinez does not seem smart now.

    some fights of the past which ended like this like Curry/McCallum or Hearns/Barkley, those were one in a million punches from outside and swung wild. Unorthodox. This one was was normal punch on the inside as far as I saw it. It could land it again in a rematch.
