They were both nobodies and Arum tried to freeze Williams out of the big fights at 147. It would've done him no good to stay there.

He was suppose to fight Jennings November 29th and defend his WBO belt but he chose to move up in weight and fight Phillips instead for the WBO 154 Interim title. So he fought Koelle as a stay busy.
He wanted the BIG fights at WW he couldnt get who he eanted which was Cotto, Marg, Cintron, Berto or Floyd so he moved up. Simple.Last edited by B.U.R.N.E.R; 03-18-2010, 12:52 PM.Comment

But, if you remember Jennings was also his mandatory when Williams fought Kolle.He was suppose to fight Jennings November 29th and defend his WBO belt but he chose to move up in weight and fight Phillips instead for the WBO 154 Interim title. So he fought Koelle as a stay busy.

Bro Jennings is a ****ing bum. Paul wanted bigger fights at WW he couldnt get them so he moved up in weight took a stay busy and fought and won the WBO 154 Interim title. I dont get the point of this thread.
He moved up because he couldnt get Cotto, Marg, Berto, Floyd, OR Cintron then you imply he ducked Jennings. Cmon man.Comment

Because Jennings would have stopped him with his Julian Jackson- like power.
In the Cotto fight Jennings just slipped on some water in the corner and the ref stopped it early, he was just playing with Cotto.Comment

He wasnt struggling in weight. No Welters wanted to fight him. If he was having troubles with weight he wouldnt had reached out to EVERY WW to get a fight. If he was having weight troubles he wouldnt even had mention fighting other welters.Comment
