Paul Williams vs Nobuhiro Ishida - Feb 18th - Who wins it?

If Ishida wins how far from a title shot do you all think he will be?

 

Ishida is vastly overrated on this board.

He has a 1st round win against a guy with a history of a weak chin now all of a sudden hes a world beater ignoring his 28% KO rating and having losses and close wins against D+ level fighters.

This fight will bounce Williams back into the discussion at the elite level even though it shouldnt.

 

:rofl:roflatsch

Lay off that crack pipe

 

I think it mostly stems from Kirkland having a positive year, and Ishida sparked him out so quickly

 

How is it such a farfetched idea? Paul Williams got schooled by a Jr. Middle in Erislandy Lara, and was KTFO by Sergio Martinez right before. with Ishida coming off a win against a top 5 middleweight.

 

Paul is wrong for Ishida. He is a volume puncher and Ishida is not good against fighters like that. Ishida likes to take his time.

Some think Ishida is a journey man but i disagree. I had him 116-112 against Alvarez and after some digging i found a few people who thought that Ishida should have won in 2004 and even 2002.

Now Williams was defiantly affected by the Martinez KO. He also took a beating from Lara.
You can also make a case that he hasn't won a fight since 2009.

Ishida can punch(not saying he is a actual puncher). He just does do it. Against Alvares he got rather pissed and he went after him(something he doesn't do and that's why his KO % is low).
He but Kirkland down three times and in his last outing he had a first round TKO. I know it was against some dude who had his debut but the two back to back TKO wins probably boosted his ego.

William will force Ishida to fight back and but some steam behind his punches.

The only way Williams can win is by robbery. To be honest i don't think any judge wants to do something stupid, look at what happened last time.

Ishida by TKO / KO by a left hook... you heard it here first...

 

Why? Cause you hate him?

 

He just wants Williams to get some attention in this thread.
So that Williams would still look good in every discussions.

 

Ishida will get cheated by Williams' judges. Williams always has the judges on his side. Watch and see..............

 

people on here to quick to call paul fragile as the poll reads so many think ishida by ko paul is atough muta f$$ka who looked slugish in last outing but showed same heart that made him feard an avoided for along time . You cant take to much stalk in his ko loss cuz it was picture perfect shot he never saw from a real fighter witch as history has shown will happen when you lay it out there an fight,thats with out sayn people are putn to much in ishidas win over kirkland who was unprepared an out of shape lost to much weight to fast

 

Unless Pwill has been permanently cracked Im going with him.

 

Ishida just isn't that good imo. I think Williams has enough to outwork him over 12.
