Why are HBO commentators and judges mesmerized by Williams?

[Pullcounter]

They love hyping up pressure fighters. Not just Williams. Go listen to the PAC vs marg. Manny was all on marg d1ck.

cause pressure fighters make fights exciting. if marg/pwill started running from pac/martinez or covered up like clottey, it would've been a boring as fight.

Just in the round and a half that last night's fight lasted, I kept hearing how Williams was doing all the right things and actually winning the fight. This concerns me from a judging standpoint. No, he was not winning. Just like against Martinez the first time and against Cintron, he was throwing a ton of punches without much steam on them and somehow winning the fight.

Truth is in all three fights, he was leaving himself open a lot and getting tagged with the better, cleaner, and more powerful punches. There was a reason the crowd was erupting for every Martinez shot. He was putting his weight in his punches and landing the much more effective punches. A lot of people may have had Williams winning at the time of the stoppage, but to me that is just not right. How can you be winning just by scoring a lot of do nothing punches, while the other guy is landing great shots.

Even Manny Steward thought he was winning and that the fight was going his way. Am I blind? Or are people just mesmerized by the amount of punches Williams throws?

They clearly had an agenda with Williams and it's name is AL HBO HAYMON. So glad to be rid of that ugly basterd wiliams

Again, it's mainly Kellerman and Steward who do that stuff. Lampley is guilty of course, but he generally keeps it real and calls it like it is, and Merchant is so old and crotchety he just craps on everyone nowadays.

But it's no secret that Kellerman and Steward are gay for Williams, as I stated before, watch the fight again and listen 10 seconds into the fight when Steward says that Williams has already thrown Martinez's gameplan off, or the first fight when he says Martinez isn't "street tough" like Williams.

Those two are so biased towards the fighters they like that they didn't even give full credit for what Martinez did, Steward called it like it was a lucky punch. This is boxing, there's no such thing as a lucky punch.

the quotes over the years about williams being the next _____________ and being the most feared man in boxing never convinced me

ok a 6'3" guy with an 82" reach who can make welterweight is probably a guiness record but he simply gets hit and always has
