Paul Williams back July 9

[skel1983]

I really dont get how people can say Martinez has bigger fish to fry. Williams didnt have to give him the rematch and most wouldnt have done it, so now Martinez wins and its on to bigger fish....hypocrites. What bigger fish exactly? He's not getting a Pac fight, I doubt Martinez goes to light middle for anyone besides Pac. Canelo doesnt seem ready. Mayweather is highly unlikely. Only bigger fish I see is possibly Felix Sturm, if the fish are actually just dollar signs. He's gonna have to go to Germany most likely. I could see him moving up to 168 for money fights as well, but at middle Williams is one of the bigger fish. What if vasquez did the same thing? Oh I beat Marquez by ko, I got nothing to prove anymore. We wouldnt have gotten the best fight out of the series between them.

Bit different mate, Marquez didnt get KTFO with one punch, Martinez ko's Williams again if it happens.

Bingo!

This is a horrible main event. First, HBO turns down Zbik as an opponent for Martinez and then they turn down Ishida as an opponent for Martinez. Now, Zbik is fighting Chavez Jr. and Williams is fighting Ishidal...on HBO!

Williams should have a tune-up, but tune-ups for a guy who most recently was KO'd don't belong on HBO. They belong on ESPN or off cable. Talk about favoritism. If anything the boxer taking all the tough challenges, should get the tune-up on the premium cable network, not the guy loser.

I don't think it's a "horrible" main event, after all it's not PPV, however i am suprised that Chavez jr's fight is on BAD and not on some Top Rank Latin Fury #76 PPV. How that guy gets all these PPV's is beyond me, who pays to watch him fight?

Horrible is an exageration, but I don't believe this is HBO-worthy unless any Paul Williams fight is HBO-worthy.

I would like to see that fine upstanding young man of Japanese heritage beat Paul Williams. Then get a shot at Martinez. It would be a cinderella story like Carlos Baldomir had a few years back !

ishida is a nice easy come back fight. Ask quintana what's gonna happen.
