easy win for pwill

if paul williams with the tools that he has,has not learn to box after that brutal mrtinez knock out. then the samething is goig to happen again.no fighter covers 100% from that kind of knock out.williams is rangy and should box instead of brawling because he gets hit.

Hasnt Lara been a FNF fighter all his life? arent most of Goosens fighters on FNF?

Lara is going to get his face punched in multiple times.

This is better than a 3rd Quintanna fight, and better than an Ishida fight Imo. Most ppl's entire knowledge of Ishida is about 2 minutes of 1 round. No sense basing an entire card on such a small sample size. Erislandy at least has shown up multiple times on FNF cards and has a good background. Nice comeback fight.

He's been chilling in my signature for awhile now. Even after the draw with Molina I didn't think about taking him out, I love Lara's style. Tough comeback for Paul, I've always liked PWill too, but if he's in Lara's way then I gotta root for Paul to lose again. War Lara!

exactly!!! he should've been honest when answering. "We wanted to fighting Iishida who's a much easier fight but HBO wouldn't accept it so we chose Lara".
