Paul Williams to fight Andy Kolle at Middleweight on Sept. 25th on Versus

Duddy was the rumor, but I don't think it ever got signed. If Phillips team has been talking with Williams, too, that might explain the hold up.

Whats happening with John Duddy he seems to have fallen off the radar lately.

he's due to fight in Belfast soon, I think they wanted to bring Phillips over, not sure who he's gonna fight though

Chance for Williams to look devastating in a prime time slot,really not much more.Really can not blame him too much for a soft touch if the network and promotion offer it on silver platter.I think he can own Jr. Middle in short order with a possible exception to an inactive and up in the air wright.At middle,an entirely different matter!

I don't know why you guys are all so critical of this fight.

It's clearly a big deal to move up not one but two weight divisions and he doesn't want to risk losing or looking out of his depth.

This Kolle's record isn't too shabby. Losing to Andre ward is certainly no shame and he's won 6 straight since including a win over Vanda. He may have gone life and death with him as Mick said but then so did Julio Caesar Chavez last time out and Vanda represented his biggest fight so far.

Seeing as Kolle has beat Vanda he seems a reasonable water tester for Williams who would be jumping up 13 lbs in one go.

I see no problem with this fight and look forward with interest to see how he looks and fills out at what would seem to be his natural weight class.

Doesn't bother me at all either

He's fighting in November I think that's confirmed. So it's no big deal. Kind of bizarre though, I mean Andre Ward beat this guy 8 fights in with no problems was actually one of his best fights under the 10 win mark. Williams is number 1 at 147 for me so I would like to see him get back down and do a round robin with Margarito and Cotto but it looks like that won't happen.
