    Damn...Paul was one of my favorite fighters back then. Yall could've at least gave the man the respect he deserves and credited him appropriately for his victory in the their 1st fight.

      I loved Paul Williams and it was and still painful to see what happened to him. That said, Martinez is not the only foreigner that came to the US and got robbed in home-cooked decision. Plenty have been robbed here many may times.

      Martinez beat Williams two times.

      Martinez also KO’d Cintron only for the fight to somehow continue after officials got involved and then gave it a draw. It was a strange thing to witness but of course, a foreigner getting robbed in the US was in play.

        Their 1st fight was one for the ages
        Seems as if Fundora is going to follow in his fighting footsteps by not taking advantage of his size.
        Hearns, for the most part, understood the stats.


        Anyway, it's always nice to see warriors (re)unite when all is said and done.

            Two great men, fighters and one of the greatest knock outs ever.

              Look at that smile on the punishers face. I’m truly teared up

                Great to see the 2 meet again! As a motorcycle rider, Paul’s story has always stuck with me! The same goes for Diego Corrales!

                  Correction: Williams beat Martinez in their first fight. You need to do something about your editor!

                    First fight was as razor thin as they come.

                    I was rooting for Martinez, but come on.

                    Williams got the nod, give him his respect.

                      Same here man , sometimes I wonder if it's not a little crazy to ride , but I love it and accept the risk while doing my best to minimize it.

                      I don't know if you have or want one , but Custom Dynamics makes a headlight and brake light modulator that's worth it's weight in gold. It's the one thing that I know for sure has avoided a lot of bad situations for me. Let me know if you want to know how it works.
