Does anyone else think Paul Williams beat Erislandy Lara?

i thought lara won but it was a close fight. all this talk about lara dominating and scorecards giving him like 10 rounds are more wrong than pwill getting the decison, even though that was wrong as well. its the commentating. most mainstream fans score with their ears and not their eyes so when the commentators are as biased as they were that night people get the wrong idea of what really happened. for much of the early rounds lara would throw one punch at a time and then tie williams up. he was clinching like crazy early on, it wasnt til' the ref warned him he was about to take a point a (after the 7th) that he stopped which led to him dominating the next couple of rounds by punching rather than holding. early on williams was doing well though, he got caught by left hands but he would get inside and land combinations of his own. in some rounds he landed 3-4 punches everytime lara landed 1. look at the work he did inside landing beautiful combinations up and down, the bodyshots in particular were really effective. but the commenators ignored that so it didnt happen. lara took control sometime around the 8th and did enough to win but it was still close til' the end and not one sided at all like some ppl make it out to be.

I'm the biggest Punisher fan here & I saw he lost convincingly. His trainer needs to be tossed aside. There is no way that they do not see the difference when the Punisher fights a southpaw vs a conventional fighter, no way.

It wasn't that close. I don't see how Paul could get more than 4 rounds. I did have it close through six, I think I had it 3-3, but Lara won every round the rest of the way.

Is there a Blu Ray slow mo version of the fight I can watch?

I got into a discussion with a Spoon23 and he seems to think that Williams beat Lara. Does anyone else think the same? The ONLY people who think Paul Williams won that fight, are hood rats, or people that say "You know what Im saying" in every single sentence they say. Other than that, everyone else thinks and knows, that Lary won that fight, I say at least 116-112.

Lara won clearly but it was more competitive than people make it out to be. Agree, that's been my only issue with it.

I gave it to Paul Williams but I have yet to convert the fight to high definition. i converted it to high definition but still could not determine a winner so now I am in the process of converting it to bluray for the final verdict.

Paul Williams Let me ask you this.. Did any of you see Paul Williams and Carlos Quintana? I feel like Lara blueprinted a little of what he did in that first fight with the lean back and counterpunch strategy. I think Lara hit Williams just as much as Quintana did and with just about as much effectiveness (granted Quintana did cut him up a lot more that Lara) Who do you think beat up Williams more?

it was easily the robbery of the year as correctly given that title by several prestigious publications...Lara easily won

Yeah, monotone talking big head Dwyer scored the bout in favor of Paul Williams. What a fukking clown... You're fukking kidding me... Wow, lol. I had no idea. Well, there goes his credibility. Not that I ever watched his videos or was influenced by his comments in the first place. I'd been on the fence about Dwyer and his viewpoints until now. I'm willing to listen to differing opinions about anything, since none of us are always right and there's always something else to consider. But scoring the fight for Williams seals it for me. Dwyer has been off one too many times, as far as I'm concerned.

Holy ****. I have seriously been losing respect for Dwyer over the last year or so, but this is nuts. He gave the fight to Williams based on the fact that (in his words) he didnt get knocked down, walked forward, and threw a lot. He also says not to be fooled by HBO's bias towards accurate fighters. Wow...someone with a youtube log in should link him to our "Who won the fight?" poll. The commentary on Williams-Lara starts @ 4:00 but is almost impossible to listen to because he's so fukking slow monotone and boring..

No way.....

You're fukking kidding me... Wow, lol. I had no idea. Well, there goes his credibility. Not that I ever watched his videos or was influenced by his comments in the first place. Yeah, I stopped watching his vids shortly after. What a fukking buffoon...

Lara won clearly but it was more competitive than people make it out to be. I agree......

Obvious troll post. ;) I've been deceived :\

Yeah, monotone talking big head Dwyer scored the bout in favor of Pau Williams. What a fukking clown... You're fukking kidding me... Wow, lol. I had no idea. Well, there goes his credibility. Not that I ever watched his videos or was influenced by his comments in the first place.
