WOW, Canelo-Williams is a done deal!! Sept 15 MGM on PPV!

[Russian Crushin]

Williams is pretty past it but at least its not a guy like Mosley

Not a bad fight but still looking for Canelo to fight a prime fighter

[sicko]

gotta give Canelo props for taking this challenge, while I think Williams is much more beatable now then he was 08 and/or 09, he is still a tough match up for any fighter

people over look the fact that Martinez and Lara are COUNTER PUNCHERS and use a lot of timing, a high work rate fighter will always struggles with Counter Punchers...WHICH IS WHY PACQUIAO STRUGGLES WITH JMM EVERY TIME!

Canelo is not really a counter puncher, so this is going to be a real test for him because Williams is going to outwork him every round, but Williams leaves himself open for Big Shots so Canelo will have plenty of chances to Knock Williams Out

Nice fight i'll be watching it, but I aint happy about it being on PPV that's for damn sure. I'd pay PPV money to see Canelo-Kirkland but not this and im a huge Punisher fan.

But with that said i'll be rooting hard for P-Will

here is a statement from delahoya, no mention of ppv, but im prett sure i heard it was goona be a ppv, interesting to see it could land on showtime!!

WBC junior middleweight beltholder Saul "Canelo" Alvarez will defend his belt against southpaw former two-time welterweight titleholder Paul Williams on Sept. 15 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on a network to be determined, Golden Boy Promotions President, Oscar De La Hoya, informed ******.com.

De La Hoya said that Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer will begin negotiations with HBO and Showtime for a spot on either of the cabel giants for the clash between Alvarez (40-0-1, 29 knockouts) and Williams (41-2, 27 KOs).

"I'm doing Canelo versus Paul Williams, and that's confirmed for Sept. 15. I'm on a mission to put on a spectacular event from top to bottom, and it's all done, baby. Sept. 15, and it's a go. I don't say that it's a done deal until it's a signed deal," said De La Hoya.

"So it will be live from the MGM in Las Vegas. It has no network yet. That's going to be up to my man, Richard Schaefer. So I'm going to have my man, Richard Schaefer, now deal with HBO and Showtime to see what he can come up with."

Alvarez, who is only 21, is coming off a unanimous decision over former titleholder Sugar Shane Mosley on May 5, and shares a victory over former welterweight beltholder Kermit Cintron with Williams.

"Canelo wants to keep fighting the best," said De La Hoya. "So this is David and Goliath, and, you know, my man, it's on."

Williams has split bouts with RING middleweight champ Sergio Martinez and former beltholder Carlos Quintana, and won a disputed majority decision over Erislandy Lara last year.

"Here you have Paul Williams, who is a very dangerous fighter who keeps coming, so it's going to be a dangerous fight," said De La Hoya.

"But I have all of the confidence in the world in Canelo that he will have another spectacular night against a very dangerous fighter in Paul Williams."

Anyone think oscar sounds abit wierd in that interview "my man, my man"

[J-Smooth]

[RockyB]

[Chief2ndzOnly!]

ppv? whack


this would be a perfect HBO fight

Agreed, it shold be HBO, but ya potna will be payin for this one. I got P-Will in this one. War Punisher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[halo16]

Hope this is not PPV, unless there is a huge undercard that is worth it. Should just be HBO or a Showtime fight.

Both should be able to take each other's punches and whoever gets hit least will win.

No KO but Canelo wins clearly on points based on clean punching, IMO.

[RIZO24]

canelo is going to tax that ass!!!Ko in the Late rounds!!
