Paul Williams Aims To Crush Doubters With Ishida Drubbing

•Feb 11, 2012

Paul Williams knows what his critics are saying about him. They think that are suffering a devastating one-punch, second-round knockout defeat to Sergio Martinez and performing poorly against Erislandy Lara in back-to-back bouts that Williams’ days as an elite-level prizefighter are over. The former WBO welterweight and junior middleweight champion cannot wait to start trying to prove them wrong when he faces Japan’s Nobuhiro Ishida (24-6-2, 9 KOs) in a 12-round junior middleweight match Feb. 18 in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Japanese middleweight Nobuhiro Ishida thought he hit the jackpot after scoring a monumental upset in his first round knockout of James Kirkland last April. Then a 35-year old journeyman, Ishida was thought to be a soft touch, but instead served as a reminder that Kirkland had a long way to go in his comeback.

Nobhiro Ishida (23-6-2, 8 KOs) of Japan will once again attempt to upset the odds. After pulling off a "shock of the year" on April in Las Vegas, with a one round destruction of previously undefeated James Kirkland, he will enter the ring on July 9 against the comebacking Paul "The Punisher" Williams (39-2, 27 KOs). Williams has been inactive since last November's brutal two rounds knockout loss to Sergio Martinez. The fight is going to take place at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, at a catch-weight of 155-pounds.
