Comments Thread For: The Experts Decide - Paul Williams vs. Erislandy Lara

Paul Williams got this, he isn't the punisher for no reason.

I don't think we can compare the Winky Wright fight to this fight.

1. Because they don't really fight alike

2. Because Lara isn't shot.

I think Lara has a shot but my head keeps telling me Williams is going to outwork him.

Pretty much sums up what I think, Dan.

I'm curious to see if Lara tries to tap Paul's chin early, to see if there are lingering effects from Sergio's shot. If Williams is intact, Erislandy could be in for a long, "punishing" night. We'll know soon....

A nearly 6-foot-3 southpaw who has fought as a welterweight, junior middleweight and middleweight, Paul Williams is looking to prove that he still is deserving of his "Punisher" nickname, this despite having been blasted into unconciousness in the second round of November's rematch with southpaw Argentinian former Sergio Martinez, a man Williams had beaten by majority decision in December of 2009.

Tonight all question marks on Williams will be answered.

Remember Vargas before Tito? Could take a good shout, after Tito, he was just never the same.

Fair enough Williams didn't take a sustained beating to be brutally stopped late by a crushing puncher in Tito but the point remains; Sometimes, if you're chin get cracked, it's never the same.

We will see tonight. I'm watching Rios so I'll have to catch this fight tommorow.

Williams doesn't sound entirely into it to me so I believe he is ripe to be upset by Lara who does possess quite a bit of talent and seems to be much more into the sport currently.

Amir Khan was brutally KOd and has been fine. Lennox as well the list goes on.

Amir Khan was brutally KOd and has been fine. Lennox as well the list goes on.

Of course, it's not always the case.

But sometimes, it is, which is why there are currently question marks over him and tonight will answer that.

Plus, Khan hadn't taken nearly as much punishment as Williams had up to his KO, the same goes for Lennox.

Not that it means anything, just that it may effect him to a state that he's never the same.

We'll see.
