By John F. McKenna (McJack): I have followed boxing for a long time and have seen many poor decisions rendered. The decision last Saturday night which was awarded to Paul Williams (40-2, 27 KO’s) over Erislandy Lara (15-1-1, 10 KO’s) in their title elimination bout however, was as bad as any decision this writer has [...]

LOS ANGELES, July 12 – The passage of time has not stopped the public outrage over last Saturday night’s controversial decision rendered in the Paul Williams vs. Erislandy Lara bout in Atlantic City in which former World Champion Williams was awarded a 12 round majority decision over rising star Lara in a fight that most [...]

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 Dan Ambrose: It’s pretty clear what unbeaten junior middleweight contender Erislandy Lara (15-0-1, 10 KO’s) will be attempting to do tonight against Paul Williams (39-2, 27 KO’s) in their scheduled 12 round non title fight at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

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. Yes, Paul was knocked out brutally last time out but he’s still one of the best Light Middleweights in the [...]

About Williams-Lara and Ramos-Shimoda Paul “The Punisher” Williams looks to make statement against unbeaten and world ranked Cuban defector Erislandy Lara (15-0-1, 10 KOs) in a battle of southpaws.

By Dan Ambrose: 29-year-old Paul Williams (39-2, 27 KO’s) has split two fights with the hard hitting Sergio Martinez in the past two years, and was knocked out violently in the 2nd round last year in November.
