    Williams vs Ishida is off

    According to Dan Rafael, Paul Williams vs Nobuhiro Ishida is off. Williams will still be fighting on that card, but against a TBA opponent. I'm guessing HBO took the hint after being s**ted on for accepting such a mismatch for a main event.

    Hopefully the new opponent is Dzinziruk. But Paul wasn't interested before, so I doubt it.

    Obviously Pwill is ducking a real puncher! He doesnt want a deja-vu of what Sexy did to him.

      Good. I didn't like the match-up in the first place. Fight a legit opponent or don't fight at all. Dude wants to make a $1m purse and fight an ESPN2-type fight. Fuck that, Most avoided man in boxing-my ass. Don't disrespect the sport and fight a legit opponent on such a high platform as HBO.

            Ross Greenburg must have thought Ishida is too dangerous, after what he did to one of his favorites, James Kirkland.

            They'll likely get some welterweight or light welterweight to move up and fight the 6'3" Williams at 154.

            It was rotten of of Greenburg to do this to Ishida, offer him the fight, get his hopes up, and than decide against.

              HBO changed their minds. It had nothing to do with Paul. Plus Ishida is FAR from a big puncher. Kirkland just has a bad chin, possibly because he wasn't in shape. That showed in the previous fight, where he was rcked by a journeyman.

                Unfortunate. I was actually looking forward to this fight for some strange reason. Maybe because I wanted to know if Ishida was close to legit or if Kirkland may be in serious trouble.

                Have to wait for that, I guess. Hopefully, Williams fights someone with a pulse that AT LEAST 1.5 people on this board have heard of.

                  Not going to happen. Wolak is an exciting white boxer, Greenburg & Davis don't like him for that reason.

                  Why did you duck me the other day when I pointed out, contrary to what you posted, HBO will likely NOT be showing Adamek-Vitali?
