What’s worse than getting in the ring with Paul “The Punisher” Williams? Let me put it this way. Most fighters would rather marry the “OctoMom” and baby-sit her fourteen kids before lacing up the gloves against the Augusta, Georgia native. Yeah, it’s like that.
Williams (36-1, 27 KOs) is indeed the most feared man in boxing as he and his promoters at Goossen-Tutor have proclaimed for so long. Any professional fighter that has to fight in the 147 to 160 pound range just to get a meaningful fight has to be a scary proposition.
Enter the former 154 pound champion and one of the most skilled fighters in the history of the division: Ronald “Winky” Wright. Wright (51-4, 21 KOs) will face Williams on April 11th at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas as part of HBO’s “World Championship Boxing” series.
Although Wright’s style is more complicated than a Rubik’s cube, Williams claims he’s not deviating from his usual game-plan. “The only thing I’m doing different for this fight is I’m sparring with more lefties,” William said from his training camp in Washington D.C. “Otherwise I’m preparing for him just like I prepare for everybody else. I’m going in there and I’m going to fight my fight like I always do and I expect to win.”
