Comments Thread For: Lara's Manager Discusses The Paul Williams Fight, More

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The manager of unbeaten Cuban Erislandy Lara said that former three-time world champion Paul "The Punisher" Williams had better be prepared for their July 9 clash of southpaws in Atlantic City, otherwise, he'll get knocked out for the second straight time -- just as he was stopped for the first time in his career in the second round of his previous bout opposite Argentinian southpaw Sergio Martinez in November.

Big mistake taking this fight after his last fight.

Someone like Clottey or Alfonso Gomez makes more sense.

PW is all wrong for Lara.

[Wazaa..]

This will be a pretty easy fight for Lara. Williams will be outclassed and k.o'd again.

I think Williams workrate will keep Lara off balance and unable to get into a rhythm. Paul UD.

[Jack Napier]

win this Lara! please KO him

I got 1 mil on Lara, you down?

I'm down Charlie Brown.

Pwill chin is broke until proven otherwise. I wonder if Keillor will change his style to fight taller and use his jab more.

[Rip Chudd]

I'm down Charlie Brown.

Cool. But you have more points. Want to make it 10 mil?

Williams comes out with that WILD BS he is going to get KO'd again with a Vicious Left Hand

Williams can keep his workrate and all that but learn how to Pull Back and Defend a little and move your head around, also stop letting little guys get inside of you...he is listed as 6'1 but I swear he is more like maybe 6'2 or 6'3

As for Lara, maybe only concern really is the PRESSURE, how will he deal with it, he can't just go into his shell like he did in his last fight if he does that then Williams is going to keep swinging away and Williams almost never gets tired


I am a big fan of Lara obviously but I am also a fan of Williams and I feel Williams can BEAT Martinez...if he fixes his Defense and learn how to use that REACH ADVANTAGE...maybe he needs to go get Manny Steward, someone who has a TON OF EXPERIENCE WITH TALL/LONG FIGHTERS

UNBIASED OPINION...Williams workrate could end up being too much for my boy Lara and Williams probably can score a UD or maybe late stoppage if Lara goes into that shell....BUT....I could see Lara catching Williams with a COUNTER LEFT that can either Hurt Williams or Drop Him...also watch out for the LEFT TO THE BODY FROM LARA, I think it would be smart to try and go after that SKINNY BODY OF WILLIAMS
