FNF - Aaron Williams & Jason Estrada

I think he's a very interesting prospect. Have to say Amat beat me to it on him.

Very crafty for a young prospect. I think his punching power has yet to really tested but he doesn't seem feather fisted. Pretty quick. Maybe a bit small for cruiser :confused:

Anyway he's fighting Jose Luis Herrerra. 15-4 with 15 KO's all four losses by KO. A Columbian. He did knock out George "Honey Boy" Blades, that guy who was rumored to fight Tarver for a little bit, in 3 last time out (took Zsolt Erdei 11 to do it for what that's worth) but he was stopped by Tavoris Cloud the time before and Jorge Castro the time before that. Never had a fight at cruiser.

I changed the title of thread Ouma so that we can use it come fight night. ;)

Really like Aaron but I gotta admit Tavoris is one I'm really excited about.

We'll see 'Big Six' also...

Also hopefully you don't forget about the fights as you did the time you made the thread about the Adamek-Bell fight... ;D

Oh well, life isn't perfect :-\

I've only seen Williams once would like to see him again is there a stream ??

No idea bro. I'm not good at finding streams, I prefer other people to find them and then tell me where to go.

Just tried to go on Sopcast's website and its not loading for me.

With the move up to heavyweight, David Haye has left the Cruiserweight division without a recognized champion in three of the four major sanctioning organizations. Rising cruiserweight prospect "Awesome" Aaron Williams (17-0-1, 12 KO's), will look to continue in his journey to become the World Cruiserweight Champion as he headlines his first nationally televised main event Friday night at the Twin River Event Center in Lincoln, Rhode Island. ESPN2 will televise the bout as part of their Friday Night Fights telecasts. Williams will be opposed by the power punching Colombian, Jose Luis Herrera (15-4, 15 KO's).

I don't know about that Steve Cunningham is pretty good. But why not the guy has it all it seems and it looks like he even has power which even I didn't know when I first starting salivating over him a couple years ago. I would like to see him work his way up a bit more gently maybe 1 more step up fight after tonight against someone like Braithwaite. Oh that would be a great test.

He's definitely got what it takes to be champion though, little doubt he'll dispose of this Herrera guy tonight. He's just got such a vast skill set he can fight so many different ways. Against Purlette he laid on the ropes a lot and instead of blocking punches was slipping everything. Looked like he might have been trying to get rounds in and then one punch turned it all around. Expect more or less the same tonight, glad he is finally getting some hype for the longest time he was stuck behind Matt Goddfrey :-X

I knew you would be the first to reply Amat, i know Aaron Williams is one of your favorite prospects at the moment, me personally i've only ever seen him once but he looks the business. Im hoping there is a stream for his fight tonight i would like to see him again so i can make more of an accurate analysis on him.

Looking forward to this one tonight, should be a lot better than WNF.

I'm looking for Williams to look something special. The Cuiserweight division needs a new hero. It's kinda funny when you think about how inactive the elite are at CW. The days of Bell and JMM, Haye dominates then vacates, it's just a very slow division like one of those towns that's on the way, but never the destination.

Agree,Hey it's saying something that there is anticipation In seeing the red headed step child division in boxing, The Cruisers.I think Williams has some skills but it is early.I like Eric Fields quite a bit who himself is looking to rebound down the road after his suprise TKO loss last outing.B.J Flores & Banks can be in the mix also.Put any of those 4 together as up & commers and Im front and center.

I don't like Estrada. I hope he gets knocked the fukk out

Oh Crap,Just realized Jason Estrada was co main event....:-X I think I need to paint my dogs Kennel or mow the grass.....Yawn.Alright,Lets see if he steps forward and shows some wanting of aggression.Look at the size of Witherspoon......DAmn

I hope they both get knocked out simultaneously:D

alright,alright get in there and get some Estrada Nice uppercuts but still waits around ,way to much posing......Witherspoon is ready to exit mentaly

If Estrada fought the way he's fighting now I wouldn't hate him so much

A heavy bag puts up a better fight than Witherspoon:rolleyes:

Good, because Aaron Williams is a local boy, so I hope he wins big.

:lol:..........Love the Sig Diane ,poor Zab

:cwm33::cwm33::cwm33:Huh...what happened? I fell asleep.

I hear that loud mouthed cow in the audience again:p

Who the hell names there child 'Molgrei' ???He is actually landing a few fugly jabs on Estrada as Estrada comes with those loopy punches.I dont know about Jason being TV friendly.....very hard to look at in a couple of different ways...:bag:........That uppercut must have a homing devise on it though

Fukk Estrada. This is why I don't like him. He should of got this clown out already.

Aaron Williams was one of the better amateurs ever to come out of Cleveland actually spent a good chunk of time fighting out of Kronk though. That's where he won his Jr. National titles.

:juggle:

I see the ref got bored and stopped it. I think that was a premature stoppage.

Good this is over with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is anybody else having audio problems? I can't hear anything in studio. Does ESPN not notice or just not care to much?

Fukk Estrada. Still don't like him. Ref stopping the fight is the only way Estrada can get a stoppage win

A muted Timothy Bradley is still more exciting in studio then Pavlik was in his appearance at the beginning of this season.

Might be local problem with volume....I think Bradley will be interesting while he last's.Has some work to do but Comes off as a pretty level headed guy.In hingsight I think he should have went for the finish Vs.Witter and might have gotten it,Witter had him in that poser mode a bit.

I been wanting to see more of Henry Lundy since his last fight

C'mon Alvarez, a Texas boy:cool:{even though I hate this state:D} Haha, Lundy just went down;D

:o....The power of the Yellow stockings strikes,this is about to open up...OHh shit down go's Almarez :shotgun5lu8:Got to love it

Damn, Alvarez just got popped:o His head has a big dent in it:-X

I would get claustrophobic wearing those socks:-\

Good first round, two knock downs!!!

Almaraz has weird looking ears. :ears:

Really? It's only for ESPN2 for me, I can't hear the announcers for anything but all the other noises like the ref and sound effects are fine.

Is this the same Lundy that fought Giles just a little while ago?

Good fight; wish it was longer than 4 rounds:confused:
