Paul Williams likely to fight Nobuhiro Ishida on Showtime Jan 21st

Maybe a soft touch is a good idea after going from Martinez to Lara, but he can do better than Ishida. =\

Wtf is Showtime buying this fight for? They must be insane.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Didnt they reject Cloud-Campillo and Rigo/Ramos

But they'll show this?

Williams over Ishida unless Ishida can do southpaw well.

He deserves comeback fight.

This could be somewhat difficult.

Two tall JMW's with little power.

Not mad at this match-up.

[Exciterx30]

Didn't Ishida have a fight scheduled these days? What happened?

Dan said they cancelled the fight not so much because they couldn't find a good a replacement as much as because it was really ****ty date to have fight on. Waste of money for a fight nobody will see due to new years.

This ***** better be like a 3rd deep undercard fight

It doesnt even deserve to be televised

[UglyPug]

im not too upset about the fight. . . i think it has the possibility to turn into a NICE two-way action fight. . . Ishida is like a poor man's sergio martinez (NOT in ability and skills, but the style in which he fights - step back countering, utilizing range/timing and foot speed). . . Japanese fighters all have hella heart too, so he will go down swinging. . .

I don't think it's that bad of a match up...P-Will deserves somewhat of a soft touch. And, Ishida is coming off the best win of his career which became even better when Kirkland stopped Angulo. So not bad at all.
