By Dan Ambrose: If you were one of the few boxing fans that wanted to see a third fight between former World Boxing Council (WBC) middleweight champion Sergio Martinez (47-2-2, 26 KO’s) and Paul Williams (40-2, 27 KO’s) is unlikely to happen according to boxing news from Dan Rafael.

On his twitter page, Rafael says that Martinez’s adviser Sampson Lewkowicz isn’t interested in a Martinez-Williams III bout. Lewkowicz says “I will say [Williams] should reconsider his wish because he will get killed. Williams is a good kid, but money will not buy him health. he can get hurt, really hurt.”

Williams was knocked cold by Martinez last year in a one punch 2nd round knockout in November. It doesn’t appear that Williams has learned anything from that loss and made changes to his game, because he fought Erislandy Lara last weekend and was getting nailed by straight left hands all night long. Williams can be thankful that Lara isn’t a huge puncher because Williams would have likely been knocked out well before the final bell had he taken on someone with a little power.

Martinez punches too hard and if he’s able to tag Williams as much as Lara did, it could be another quick knockout victory. Williams’ problem is that he stands right in front of him his opponents and doesn’t use his reach advantage. For some reason he also can’t block straight left hands. He was hit over and over again by Lara’s lefts. Most boxing fans and writers thought that Williams lost the fight to Lara. However, he was given a questionable 12 round majority decision in the fight.

As it turns out, the win has done little for Williams because of the controversy around the bout. He’s seen as a loser by fans instead of a winner, and that obviously doesn’t make him appealing to Martinez, who thought that Williams should have lost to Lara.
