I feel really bad for Paul Williams.

I was rooting for Sergio but man, I hope Paul is ok. I really respect him and I even rooted for him against Cintron, he always come to fight. Definitely not laughing.

I have mixed (or perhaps confused) feelings about this. On the one hand, I'm elated that Martinez won in such emphatic fashion. He was always in my mind the superior fighter and got to prove that tonight. On the other, I feel a little bad for Paul who, whatever he lacks in skills or natural athleticism, makes up for with insane workrate and heart. It wouldn't surprise me if the latter was taken away from him permanently with that chilling knockout, and that would be a shame for the boxing world as a whole. Also, from a purely fan-based point of view, I kinda hoped the fight would be longer since the first round was so good and competitive, hehe. But no biggie, the better man won.

Can't help but laugh at Williams's hardcore fans though. Those guys are delusional twats.

Paul Williams is a b1tch that's why people are laughing. he came in with a lot of undeserved hype, DEMANDED a catchweight even though he's is no position to (no fan base), and WAS introduced last instead of the real middleweight champion

Bingo with the bold. I won't go as far to call Paul Williams a bitch because he's a hard worker and all that, but it was getting to the point of where HBO was showing a lot of favoratism toward him. And the fact that he is the reason this fight was at a catch weight and still lost makes him look all the more worse. I still like Paul Williams though because he's a good guy as far as being humble goes and he's got a personality that's easy to admire. But having one less Al Haymon fighter out of the HBO spot light doesn't burn any skin off my ass.

he took a rematch? ****ign martinez was the champion he signed hbo pushed for it everyone but pwill. the only reason why he took the rematch is because he realized he aint have **** else going for him noone at 147 wanted to fight or was busy same with 154 and he wouldnt dare go to 168 or he been knocked out by the super 6 and bute. so he said i guess ill fight martinez again but he has to drop 2 extra pounds

People in here arent laughing at Paul Williams. I respect him and was actually worried for him for a minute there. They are laughing at you and fans like you.

I'm honestly not laughing. Dude came to fight to please the fans unlike some boxers who run a lot in the ring. Hope he comes back strong but I always knew this going up and down in weight just wasn't good for him. He should just stick at 154.

I think a lot of the laughing has to do with you to be honest. No offense.

this right here.

Don't feel bad for Paul Williams he needed that to happean. He was never going to last as he was but situations such as this could spur positive change.

He needs to buckle down and learn how to fight tall really utilizing his advantages.

In all honesty. Williams has a lot of faults. He doesn't fight tall or use a jab, and he has bad defense. He gets hit way too much for his height. He really needs to make some changes. This was gonna happen sooner or later. I thought he'd win tonight though. He just tried to overwhelm Martinez and left himself wide open.

I feel bad for him too. Mostly because due to all the gift decicions he might actually thought that he is a good boxer and now that is gone forever.

maybe you can put your manlove for williams to one side for now so you can clock on to what iv been telling you for ages, williams aint p4p number 3! he isnt that good, like i said in an earlier thread, he isnt better than JMM for sure, he isnt better than cotto and he aint better than a 39 year old mosley. im not just saying this because he got knocked the fcuk out, iv been saying this for a while and you can check my posts if you want.

Whats worse is that people are on this board actually laughing at the guy. He came out didnt run liek a ***** and went out swinging. Then people on here are acting like he Paul Williams is shyt. Martinez doesnt even believe that.

He was way overrated, but deserves all the respect in the world. He went out swinging, and came to fight from the moment the bell sounded.
