Davis had this to say in a letter to Golden Boy Promotions and Goossen Tutor Promotions: “This agency has placed all three judges on indefinite suspension. Further, all three judges [...]

By John F. McKenna (McJack): I have followed boxing for a long time and have seen many poor decisions rendered.

By Jim Dower: Paul Williams (40-2, 27 KO’s) didn’t look pretty in beating Erislandy Lara (15-1-1, 10 KO’s) last Saturday night by a questionable 12 round majority decision but Williams will take the win anyway he can get it.

By Peter Wells: When first hearing about this fight I couldn’t really believe it, a big prospect like Erislandy Lara who is coming off the back of a draw is fighting Paul ‘The Punisher’ Williams.
