Fresh off a stunning first-round knockout of highly-regarded heavyweight Travis Walker, Manuel "El Toro" Quezada (28-4-1, 18 KOs) has climbed the ladder in the WBC rankings from last months #9 position to the #4 heavyweight contender.

Quezada's latest victory was the 17th straight for the 31-year-old, native of Wasco, CA, who was making the third defense of his WBC CABOFE title. In 2009 Quezada, who has displayed increased punching power since Joe Goossen took over as his trainer, has won all three of these fights by knockout - the last two coming in the opening round.

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.

The following are quotes from Dan Goossen, George Peterson and boxing’s “most feared fighter,” 2-time WBO Welterweight Champion Paul “The Punisher” Williams (35-1, 26 KOs) who will move up a weight class to take on the IBF Junior Middleweight Champ Verno Phillips (42-10-1, 21 KOs) in a scheduled interim 12-round battle for the WBO Super Welterweight Championship that will take place this Saturday, November 29 at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California.
