Paul Williams vs. Erislandy Lara?

[marbleheadmaui]

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.

That's a fight I'd love to see. Dangerous fight for both fighters, the work rate and reach of WIlliams vs Lara's innate magical talent. If Williams comes in prepared, that could be an all sparks fight.

But do Lara have a better name then Ishida for HBO to cancel that fight? People know Ishida kOed Kirkland. What did Lara do?
What is Lara ranking?
IMO, bad decision by HBO.

Side note;
I hope Cintron get Ishida now!!! Same date for Cintron to come back.

I totally disagree. This wasn't about Lara, this was about HBO requiring that even Al Haymon boxers need to face someone competitive to be on HBO. Lara is a more competitive fight than Ishida.

Cintron is fighting on the same night, but on a different card. He'll be fighting Carlos Molina on the Rios vs Antillon card on Showtime.
