Paul Williams vs. Erislandy Lara?

Lara just announced this on his Facebook page.

"nuevas noticias: peleo el 9 de Julio contra Paul Williams"

I hope this comes through, this would be a fantastic fight.

An improvement on Ishida definitely, but I also think this is a massive risk for Williams in his first comeback fight. He clearly doesn't do well with elusive southpaws & I don't think he'll have the size to blitz Lara out of there a la Mitchell & Quintana II. I'm calling Lara ftw

How does Lara win this? Williams throws 80+ punches a round and Lara throws half that.

I know Williams is a lousy technical fighter, but does Lara do enough to counter and take advantage of that? He's so deliberate.

Am I mixing my Cubans up?

Lara can definitely win this, he is very smart and accurate Williams is exciting but wild, his reach keeps it interesting.

If Quintana could do it, sure could Lara. He would win by being a counter puncher. But still, I think Williams activity would be too much for Lara. Williams points.

Let's hope Williams shows something a bit new then. It's a fair matchup and I think Williams can win, but he needs to guard that chin a lot more now.
