And I would bet you all i had it would be a Sergio KO again. It wasnt the second fight that told me his chin was cracked. It was the fight with Cintron.
I dont even know where to begin with what you just said. But to keep it short. You must have also never seen Lara or PW fight because in order for Lara to win he has to fight long-mid range. Definitely not on the inside since he has no inside game while PW has no outside game and he is the one that needs to force the action to get to the inside. Also while PW does hold a height advantage i believe Lara has pretty long reach for a shorter man.
You make a good point. However if its a chess match then PW is even more screwed since he is not going to outbox a Cuban amateur figther with Laras skills. I mean these Cuban guys are known for liking the tactical match ups and pretty much know how to win in that kind of affair. If PW goes this route then he loses 12-0. Lara has so much boxing skill to lose be outboxed a single round by PW. PW best shot is to make this fight ugly on the inside and make Lara panic like he tends to when on the inside.

didnt you vehemently pick haye by KO? you were on this forum for over a week spewing your goo thinking you knew everything about anything related to boxing. and now you're back? it hasnt even been a week. no knowledgeable boxing fans picked haye other than those having a vested interest(DLH) or a patriotic one(froch). the only ones i saw picking haye were people that know very little about boxing and those that definately do not bet on it as everyone knew that haye +180 was a bad line. i posted it well before the fight that i believed the line should have been wlad-400/haye-350. only the idiots feel for the hype. go to the esb main page. they have a very good interview with steward stating as such. you know, the idiots such as yoiurself that fell for the hype. even lennox lewis could not honeslty pick haye. i cant think of one person i respect when handicapping a fight that picked him. and now you come off with your "based on what I have seen of lara and Paul Williams, I can make a prediction." yeah. right. whatever you say, buddy.
Well, HENDO is also the idiot that said the reason Peter lost to wk the second fight is because he did not throw enough jabs. he then stated that height and reach is not a factor as tyson was very effective in throwing jabs against taller opponents so peter should be successful as well. HENDO, comparing the jab of tyson to that of peter. this guy is classic. he is a legend in his own mind. normally, i would put someone like this on the avoid list but he is too good a laugh to pass up.
It's on for free at primetime.co.uk, but this might only be for British viewers. He's fighting mendy at 9 pm UK time.
Brandon Rios Vs. Urbano Antillon. - Rios is fast, Antillon hasn't been great lately so if you can beat Miguel Acosta, you can beat Antillon - Rios by RD 8-10 KO, TKO or RTD Kermit Cintron Vs. Carlos Molina. - Molina is good and got a Draw with Erislandy Lara, who i think is doing great in his most recent fights for sure. Kermit Cintron has fought longer. Good Matchup. - Cintron by UD. Paul Williams Vs. Erislandy Lara - Lara has been sweeping through the Jr. Middleweight division with 1 round TKO or KO wins over Willie Lee, Delray Raines, William Correa, Tim Conners. He fights like an ametur and goes all out thinking he will KO everybody. The draw with Molina was a real set back. Clearly showing he is very naive. Paul Willams has defeated top contenders like Sergio Martinez ( W1 L1 ), Carlos Quintana ( W1 L1 ), Kermit Cintron ( 1W), and Ronald " Winky " Wright ( 1W ). I see the good professional beating the good prospect here. - Willams by TKO, KO, or RTD from RDs 5-10 Lucian Bute Vs. Jean Paul Mendy - Bute has easily defeated a lot of higher ranked fighters then Mendy such as Edison Miranda, Sakio Bika, or Libardo Andrade. I think Bute is great and will win. - Bute by KO, TKO in RDS 6-9 Rico Ramos Vs. Shimoda - I don't know Shimoda well and only know a little bit about Ramos. But from what i do know I think Ramos wins. - Rico Ramos by UD
Ahh man i forgot about the whole If A beats B then C beats A he automatically beats B. It works 100% of the time in boxing. Its 2 completely different styles man. I agree Rios should get the win but its gonna be close and would not be surprised if Antillon pulled the upset by hurting Rios to the body where he has shown weakness and Antillon if you forgot is a hell of a body puncher.
nice call, saul. lara won(void of scorecards) by staying outside and not inside. hopefully, you didn't bet the fight. williams could be finished. whenever a guy starts talking about retirement its pretty much always a bad sign. he must have gotten it 100 times by that left hand.
