    Notes from the article:

    * Rafael says Williams isn't the fighter he once was
    * Rafael scored the fight 116-112 Lara
    * Lara wants a rematch
    * Williams does want to fight Martinez again

    Looks the same to me, people must have forgot about the first Quintana fight.

    In the Quintana fight he still had snap on his punches, he still had power, and he threw better combinations.

    This one was sluggish in all areas. He had no power, no snap on his punches. Offensively he used to cover up well for his bad defense. No way this version of Williams beats Margarito, Winky Wright or Martinez.

    * Rafael says Williams isn't the fighter he once was. Haven't seen the fight but Williams style was going to catch up to him at some point or another.

    People hate on Paul becaus he's not "slick" or whatever but no he was NOT the same fighter tonight that he was in the first Martinez fight OR Wright. That is crap! Yiour letting your hate color your judgment okay? Williams did lose his snap and doesnt seem to have what made him special anymore. Come on. Same holes in his defense like always but he's missing the sharpness. He was a very good fighter. How else did he fight like that against Martinez? :patsch yous your brains! I'm drunk has hell but it's even clear to me!

    oh he's the same, that's why he looks like ****. Martinez found the perfect hole in P. Williams defense that is now being exploited to the max, and the Williams camp did **** to fix it.
