Paul Williams to Face Nobuhiro Ishida on July 9

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Props to Ishida though he gets another chance to shine. Sadly Paul will send his head into press row.

this fight is a good fight for hbo. pwill's return fight and ishida deserves another fight. is it worthy of being a headliner?? no. but i dont see how anyone thinks it doesnt belong on hbo. ishida is no bum.

cosign...both of them deserve this type of match. pwill for a comeback against a fairly good fighter coming off a great win for himself, and ishida getting a shot at a known name on HBO again. even though it might not seem suitable for it to be a headliner, hopefully they can put some interesting undercards to possibly show on HBO.

I'm so glad that I stopped paying for HBO services a long time ago and catch all of their cards on a stream. I would be extra pissed if my hard earn money that I'm paying my subscription with was going to pay for a fight like this, especially a main event fight.

Good fight. I'm actually interested in Paul's punch resistance, is it still there or did The Sexxxy One crack it for good?

How is this a good fight? Just because ishida got a good shot on a zero dimensional, overhyped, fresh out of prison kirkland doesn't mean he's suddenly this elite fighter.

This is a warmup showcase fight for paul at best.

[Visceral]

This is a legit fight. If Kirkland had won he would have likely gotten a shot at Paul, why shouldn't Ishida get the chance when he whooped Kirkland?

Paul wanted an immediate rematch with Martinez, but the Martinez camp turned him down, so dont act like Williams wanted an "easy" fight right after Martinez..

Williams is the only fighter that cannot win on this board. He gets KO'd, yall **** on him. He tries to get an immediate rematch with the man that KO'd him, yall **** on him. He takes a tune-up fight, yall **** on him. At one point, the **** has got to stop.

Paul MAY just do what most on this board said he should do, build a NAME at 154lb. Its possible that his camp may go thru the ranks and win some straps, then possibly move up in weight, the right way.

And its not like PWill is a bum..HBO and PAul have put on some good matches on the past. One KO shouldnt make him drop off of the HBO roster SMH

Its a tune up on for a guy who just fought one of the best boxers on the planet in Martinez. You cant hate on this.

Yet you were calling Martinez a cherry picker when there was a RUMOUR that he might fight this guy.

Shiiiit fight.

No.....no they did not. You just made that up.
