DAMN how did I forget the action in this fight in the early rounds. A real sign of things to come against Martinez... another Argentinean fighter oddly. Matthysse was so tired, but his slow-ass punches were still easily connecting. A good win for Paul, but man was he getting tagged alot by a C level fighter.

As another poster said, he needs to hire Manny Steward or another trainer that can teach him to fight tall.

Man its really freaky watching Williams fight at 147 how did his tall ass rvrt make that weight.

I dont know how people could watch that fight and actually believe Williams would be great in all these divisions. You can tell from then, he was a KO waiting to happen.

Give me a "KO waiting to happen" rather than a KO. Referring to Khan vs Prescott.

Great action in that fight. Mathysse landed like 3 left hooks in a row in there even though he was almost out on his feet yet Williams took them easy
