Didn't get back home till late last night so haven't had a chance to post anything about my experience at the fight. It was my first fight in person to go to and have to say I had a blast. The undercard was pretty solid, Jhonny looked good and scored a beautiful body stoppage. Sadly the Arreola fight was the worst fight of the night, even the unknown guys put on a better show. I believe it was bad matchmaking because Friday did nothing but try to slip punches and survive. The Ramos KO was devistating in person. I really thought he was losing the fight and almost running scared for the first 6 rounds, and then landed one of the most beautiful hooks I have ever seen. Never seen a place go as nuts as it did when that punch landed. On to the main event now. I am very openly a Paul Williams fan, he is the reason I made the trip from North Carolina, but I realized about a minute into the fight he was in trouble. I'm not sure if Lara missed a single one of those straight lefts. The only positive I can say about what Williams showed is that his chin is still good and he's still willing to take shots and not stop throwing, but Lara skill wise is in a whole other league and it showed. The only rounds I can say that I for sure thought Williams won were 4 and 5 when he just uglied them up and bullied Lara. As much as I wanted Williams to win I was sickened by the decision. I like Lara as a fighter and he deserved to get that victory and it would have been a huge boost for his career. I hope HBO gives him another really good fight because everyone knows he really won the fight. I truly think after watching him in person he might be the best 154 fighter in the world. The display of speed, boxing skill, and ring generalship he put on was just a thing of beauty. As for PW, he has obviously lost a lot, but I still think there are plenty of guys he can beat. The one guy he should never fight though is Martinez. Any talk of the trilogy needs to go away. He has proven beyond reasonable doubt that he can't be successful against any quality southpaw, and they can all land straight lefts at will. If he is going to continue to fight he needs to stick exclusively to right handers who come straight forward. The highlight of the night for me was after the fight going down ringside and chatting a little bit with the HBO crew. Ledderer was by far my favorite and was very funny and seemed appreciative that my friends and I even knew who he was. He joked with us about the fight and took pictures with us. Kellerman was cool and so was Papa. Only one who wasn't was Roy who kinda big timed everyone around. All told it was a fun time and I really hope I can make it to another fight in AC again in the not too distant future.
