Lost all my respect for Williams

[Phil Ivey]

Ridiculous post fight interview.. He thought he won the fight? I mean I understand if it was close he could say that but he's just as bad as the judges. Don't give me that 'what else is he going to say' he could at least mention it was a very tough fight and was fortunate enough to get the win, yet he had the nerve to say he won it with such sheer confidence too.

Absolutely poor sportsmanship.

I got the impression during the interview that he actually believes he won the fight...

Did Lara really give him brain-damage? I thought he knew the fight was paid off.

Just ran into Paul Williams at Caesars. By himself, drinking a soda, dark glasses, stitched up eye. Tough night for sure.

Man, picturing this makes me want to give the poor guy a hug. I know I know he was given the gift decision so I shouldn't feel bad for him, but he still go beat up and people are probably giving him a ton of **** right now. He's still human.

You don't believe you won the fight when your trainer tells you you need a KO to win and you reply by saying "I know".

I actually think the fight was closer than alot of people think. Did I have Lara winning yes but I felt that the sixth, seveth, ninth and either tenth or eleventh shouldve went to P williams and that wouldve made it a one point fight because he clear;y won the fourth and fifth.
If you score the fifth on aggressiveness, ring generalship and I know it has to be effective then you would give P williams much more credit. I think on the inside his body work and upper cuts werent being scored as big flashy punches like LARA overhand left. Just my opinion but I have none to be wron just like the judges were tonight.
