Thread: Paul Williams to face Verno Phillips at 154

Looks as though the table is set for current WBO Welter champ Paul Williams 35-1 (26) as he ventures into The Jr. Middleweight field Against 3 time & current 154 Champion Verno Phillips 42-10-1 (31).The match up is for the interim WBO Jr.Middleweight strap,set for Nov.29 & taking place in Ontario Ca...... to be aired by HBO.

Ive always liked Phillips,honest fighter over many years, counters well and owns a nice left hook and has had some up's & down's but in this one, I think he is the perfect match for Williams who is looking to make a breakthrough at 154 & 160.I think this is where Williams belongs and I just do not see him staying around at Welter,even though there is talk of him reigning in 3 divisions....simoutaneously .He and his camp may be getting well ahead of them selves with that,no doubt.Feel pretty safe in saying he is going to take cagey Phillips here.....?

Co main event features Heavyweights Chris Arreola vs. Travis Walker.....Arreola better be in good form.In his last outing,Arreola came in at a ridiculous career high weight off 258 + .Walker is long,can box with some pop and will be a stern test.
