He technically lost the one just before it. Have you seen it? He got robbed. Alvarez never deserved the belt.
It's a very good comeback fight for P. Willy and I don't mind seeing it on HBO as part of a double or triple header. I don't know why people are getting their panties in a bunch over it because I highly doubt it'll be the main headliner.
Even if it is, it's probably not going to be the only fight. They'll probably have a decent undercard. But even if somehow there wasn't, I'd still watch. It's not Williams Martinez but it should be a very good fight that Williams is expected to win but not easily.
Williams is comming off of a Brutal knock out loss, and just prior he was in an all out war in which he was also decked, Ishida is comming off of a huge upset win, this could be very bad for Williams as Ishida if anything in his mind he can beat a south paw by way of knock out... I like Ishida here...
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haYZx4Tjr_k[/ame] he has skill, it will be tough like the Cintron fight was. Williams should win, but he has to win by technical skill.
Who said Martinez was on a streak when he knocked out Williams? IntentionalButt, no, I didn't see the fight. I'll take your word for it that he was robbed.
I agree. Ishida and Martinez are both on practical streaks (the Cintron fight wasn't a draw either), but not technical ones.
He beat Cintron no doubt, I dont think this is the right type of comeback fight you want to have for a guy like Paul who was just ICED I mean seriously that mother ****er was out as soon as the shot landed... I use to think Mercer vs Morrison was the most brutal knock out I have seen but after seeing this wow its hard to even look back at that...
Yeah, maybe on Friday Night Fights, but you'd expect more from a network with the deepest pockets in the business. Williams-Ishida, Shimoda-Ramos (the proposed co-feature) is very poor matchmaking and a good reason why Showtime has been gaining ground on HBO the past few years, with only a fraction of their budget. And I highly doubt a win over Nobuhiro Ishida is gonna get Paul Williams any closer to Mayweather or Pacquiao.
I like this fight very much. im just glad they aren't putting Ishida in with a title holder right away because he ko'd a hypejob. this is a good fight to see where both fighters are...if one is the real deal or if the other is washed up. agreed that this shouldn't be a hbo main event but still a good fight.
