Does anyone else think Paul Williams beat Erislandy Lara?

I gave it to Paul Williams but I have yet to convert the fight to high definition.

i converted it to high definition but still could not determine a winner so now I am in the process of converting it to bluray for the final verdict.

Lara won clearly but it was more competitive than people make it out to be.

Agree, that's been my only issue with it.

I got into a discussion with a Spoon23 and he seems to think that Williams beat Lara. Does anyone else think the same?

The ONLY people who think Paul Williams won that fight, are hood ****, or people that say "You know what Im saying" in every single sentence they say. Other than that, everyone else thinks and knows, that Lary won that fight, I say at least 116-112.

I had it 116-112 williams, he killed laras body...but if they fight again it wld be pointless. The winner will be even more dodged then before and the loser will be dubbed "done". Its a lose lose for both fighters

[Young Money]

Is there a Blu Ray slow mo version of the fight I can watch?

[bojangles1987]

It wasn't that close. I don't see how Paul could get more than 4 rounds. I did have it close through six, I think I had it 3-3, but Lara won every round the rest of the way.

I'm the biggest Punisher fan here & I saw he lost convincingly. His trainer needs to be tossed aside. There is no way that they do not see the difference when the Punisher fights a southpaw vs a conventional fighter, no way.

i thought lara won but it was a close fight. all this talk about lara dominating and scorecards giving him like 10 rounds are more wrong than pwill getting the decison, even though that was wrong as well.

its the commentating. most mainstream fans score with their ears and not their eyes so when the commentators are as biased as they were that night people get the wrong idea of what really happened.

for much of the early rounds lara would throw one punch at a time and then tie williams up. he was clinching like crazy early on, it wasnt til' the ref warned him he was about to take a point a (after the 7th) that he stopped which led to him dominating the next couple of rounds by punching rather than holding.

early on williams was doing well though, he got caught by left hands but he would get inside and land combinations of his own. in some rounds he landed 3-4 punches everytime lara landed 1. look at the work he did inside landing beautiful combinations up and down, the bodyshots in particular were really effective. but the commenators ignored that so it didnt happen. lara took control sometime around the 8th and did enough to win but it was still close til' the end and not one sided at all like some ppl make it out to be.
