WBO Welterweight Champion Paul Williams stepped up to light middle and caged the vacant WBO belt by stopping former three time 154 pound world titlist Verno Phillips in the eighth round at Citizens Bank Arena in Ontario, CA in the highest profile bout in America this weekend.
Williams overcame a bad cut from a headclash early on and used his massive height and reach advantage to good effect, keeping the much older Phillips at bay with hard shots to the body and head.
It was the constant body shots which seemed to take their toll on the former champion as he began to slow down later in the bout but Phillips also didn't have the power to trouble his far taller opponent despite not having much difficulty in hitting Williams when he did throw punches.
By the eighth round, Phillips was getting hurt and the bout was called to a halt before the ninth frame could begin to keep the 39 year old from further damage.
Williams wins the WBO Light Middle title, improving to 36-1 (27), while Phillips drops to 42-11-1 (21) after a brave performance in what could be the last big fight of his long career. More...

Tonight at Citizens Bank Arena in Ontario, CA, a contest for the vacant WBO Light Middleweight title takes place between Verno Phillips and Paul Williams.
Phillips, 42-10-1 (21), resuscitated his career in March by defeating Cory Spinks for the IBF 154 pound belt, a title the Belize born Denver resident held previously in 2004 in addition to the WBO Light Middle crown Phillips owned during 1994-5.
Facing Phillips will be WBO Welterweight Champion Paul Williams, 35-1 (26), a 6-1 southpaw who will tower over Phillips with a five inch height advantage and an amazing 13 inch edge in reach.
This bout is a big ask for the three time light middleweight champion at 39 years of age but if Phillips can slip the long jab of Williams and make the welterweight titlist engage in a draining fight on the inside, he could pull off the upset.
The incentive, aside of course from winning an additional world title, for Williams is liberation from the welterweight weight class and it's confining 147 pound limit, no easy task as the massive South Carolina native begins to fill out at 27 years of age.
A good bout on the undercard features America's number one heavyweight contender, big punching local man Chris "The Nightmare" Arreola, 25-0 (22), who meets Houston based Travis "Freight Train" Walker, 28-1-1 (22), in an IBF title eliminator that is also for the NABF and WBC Continental Americas belts.

Fight Night at the Tank keeps going strong with second show of 2008
Boxing was back in a big way on Thursday night in San Jose, California as Goosen-Tutor Promotions presented the second installment of their 2008 "Fight Night at the Tankʼ season, held at the San Jose Pavilion. Heavyweights headlined the show as California contender Manuel Quezada, 23-4 (15), unanimously outpointed late replacement John Clark, 12-13-1 (7), over eight rounds.
Quezada, 30 years old fighting out of Wasco, CA, entered the ring looking to build on his 11 fight winning streak and the man put tasked to halt that was journeyman John Clark.
Clark, who served as a last minute replacement after prospect Teke Oruh pulled out, had lost his five bouts heading into this one but held a significant size advantage over Quezada.
The advantage did little to tip things in Clarkʼs favor though as he was never able to impose the physical difference on his smaller opponent until closing seconds of the last round.
Both men were tentative early on in the bout, with no one asserting themselves as they circled the ring. That changed in the second frame as it was the smaller Quezada who began to press forward, utilizing a stiff jab to moving Clark backwards.
A forward moving jab though was not enough to please the crowd of over 3,000 as they voiced their displeasure at the slow, plodding action in the ring.
Round five brought some renewed life into the building as Clark, a former San Francisco 49er football player, landed a jarring right hand to the top of Quezada's head that sent the Mexican heavyweight backwards. Yet the opportunity to pounce was squandered by Clark and was again put at bay with the jab and straight right hand of Quezada. More...

Quezada And Oruh Meet At The Crossroads
Boxing makes a return to the HP Pavilion in San Jose on Thursday night with this year's second installment of the popular "Fight Night At The Tank" series. Headlining the bill are a pair of heavyweights that meet at a crossroads.
For the first time in his career, Teke Oruh will be stepping into the ring without the luxury of being an undefeated heavyweight. Manuel Quezada enters this bout on an 11 fight win streak and now has his goals set on notching the biggest victory of his career.
The Nigerian born Teke Oruh started his professional career a solid 15-0 and came within one round on one scorecard of keeping his undefeated record in tact with a draw.
While just a prospect, Oruh has already shared the ring with some of the most successful heavyweights of the last 20 years. Having served as sparring partner for Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis and the Klitschko brothers, Oruh certainly knows his way around the ring. Now faced with the task to bounce back from his first loss, "The African Prince" looks to reignite his career with a victory over Manuel Quezada.
His opponent's last fight came in March, but it was not a boxing match. He crushed heavyweight Charles Hodges, knocking his opponent out in the first round of their mixed martial arts contest.
He puts the boxing gloves back on Thursday in hopes of landing a career defining victory, looking to top his December knockout over Galen Brown. He'll have his hands full with the talented Oruh. More...
