    No, it's not Berrio...

    Williams was KOed in 1 by Epifanio Mendoza, KOed in 7 by Lacy and is coming off a two loss streak to Allan Green (99-90) and to prospect Andre Ward (TKO 7). Before that, he did enough to draw Antwun Echols...

    Say what you will, but this guy is a step up from shot Reid.

    half decent short notice opponent. a stay active fight is what was needed, this is what he is getting.
    that said, he needs to get him ouuta there sharpish for it to be a good result.

    i thought berrio was to dangerous for such a short notice opponent.

    i have seen a lot of williams.

    big strong man, but fights to survive now and not to win.

    froch ko as soon as he gets a few shots through clean flush.

    wont be that easy to do , as williams will be on the defensive looking for them and not letting his hands go , if he plays true to the form that he has been in recently.

    At the end of the day, this guy's just a keep busy fight. Froch was willing and able to fight Inkin; it's not his fault Inkin pulled out TWICE.:deal

    I hear from my source close to Froch that he is looking to fight a meaningful opponent in summer. Let's hope it's Kessler.

    It just struck me that Froch will be 31 and will not have fought a real world-class opponent (close to his prime) yet...

    Carl better make the mostof his fight for the summer belt. He needs to make a statement. He would wash away all his sins by making a credible offer to Kessler.

    Horrible fight, but what can you expect at short notice

    Really disapointed with Inkin. I was really looking forward to this bill, now it looks mediocre

    He'll do well to get him out in 3, unless the ref is Dave Parris. Williams will aim to survive as long as possible.

    But yeah, Froch needs to make a big statement after this fight!

    Well...Froch is not fighting him, that's what!

    Don't ask me to say why; I don't even know for sure Berrio was contacted by Hennessy...it's not as if you could believe anything this guy says...according to him, the whole world is ducking Froch...Calzaghe, Kessler, Bute, Inkin, Berrio, Miranda, Pascal, Pavlik, Taylor, Lacy...if you can think of a prominent fighter, he's ducking Froch!
