thank you paul for this fight. i used to fight like him, output and technique over the greater power of the lighters/smallers, but if you're as big as you are against your oppoents like we are, you HAVE that natureal power. you have to tighten up those strikes and commit to them wholehearteldy. your defense will come from that power jab and overhand. great stuff.
Im a big Lara fan but so far i would say Williams is winning. First round goes to Lara hands down the second I gave it to Paul, I know Lara buckled him with a good strong right hand but i thought that wasn't enough to win round. And the third round Williams was more busy and landed more shots regardless what compubox says thats manipulation and the fourth round i would say its a tie up to the part it cuts off. But who cares what I say, my thoughts
miren otro fruto de la escuela cubana de boxeo,pura tecnica.erislandy lara ,estoy seguro su momento llegara.eres un grande boxeador....viva la escuela cubana de boxeo..
Lara gonna give Alvarez a beating. Lara got far more competitive experience, Canelo never faced a puncher like this, Lara a more dangerous man than Floyd Money.
Thanks, boneskrieg8. I came to see what all the hub bub was about. I just heard comments by Jim Lampley that the 3 judges on the Lara / Williams fight had been removed from any thing to do with boxing indefinitely. That Lara had been so badly treated that ALL 3 are forever done. (Kind of how I wish they would have done with Ref. Russle Mora.)
PWill is gifted with long reach yet still reaching out with his punches..he should change trainer/coach if he wants to continue fighting at high level competition.. Lara's nice timing & knows how to use the ring very well..
Cubans are known as the best amueter fighters in the world because they can't go pro cause Cuba doesn't allow it and its their national sport so they are known as the most natural boxers. Williams has reach but is only effective if fights on the inside cause its his style. Williams was a great fighter and I hope he walks again one day.
I hope Paul Williams changes his trainer because he is better than this he needs to get his confidence back "anyone can get knocked out!" said by Andre Ward and its very true aswell but changing everything that made you so dominating isn't the right way to go!
think ward might be to strong, but he has to fight more then 17 fights to get a shot anyway in my book. I hate it when they put these guys in with seasoned boxers at 17 or so fights
i feel Lara dominated because tho williams did throw shots to the body and face in the clinch, they were not hitting the target effectively. I dont think its very wise to score rounds off of a fighters puches hitting someones arms all night or barely landing. Lara landed the clean and harder effective punches right to williams face time and time again, and williams could not stop this and just made Lara more confident and well paced. pressure is nothing when your opponent is flush and undamaged.
Lara gano, hizo buena pelea y podia haberlo tumbado,tiene buen futuro y que se olvide del empate que le dieron con molina, que ese es un bulto,solo sabia tirarse de cabeza,yo se que esa pelea fue un sin~uelo para sus rivales ,para que creyeran que el era jamon,no saben que es un hueso duro.palante CAMPEON
watching this fight for the first time... some people call it a robbery, i say it was a plausible result. watch the fight, dont let the commentators and the lederman scorecard influence your scoring, this was far from being a one-sided bout, this was a close fight. i had it 115-113 for Lara but this could easily be scored a draw.
I know the last time some one said on here that it looks like Williams wasnt the same after the Martinez fight, I have to agree some what, and I dont think this was a robbery, I have Laura winning but I could see rounds going either way
LOL you dont tell a fighter that has an obvious reach and hieght advatage to fight inside against a shorter opponent. The taller fighter must keep distance in order for his punches to be effective. Man no wonder some of these people think this guy or that guy won a fight because fans like you have no clue on what boxing really is.
would of loved to seen canelo vs lara or against cotto instead of mayweather.he could of used the experience. Mayweathers cherry picking is very obvious by fighting canelo now rather than wait 1-3 years untill alvarez is ready
emekonen: Watched a different fight, eh? Or maybe you were on LSD...virtually the ENTIRE boxing community (critics, other judges, commentators, the crowd at the fight, UTube postings, Ring Magazine, press row) had Lara WAY ahead. I scored it 8-3-1. The 3 judhes were suspended for 6 months by NJ Boxing Commission.
8-3-1 Lara. Fire those judges. Formally investigate if they were bribed. If they weren't, they need to get another occupation. Martinez kicked Williams' ass in 1st fight and HE was robbed. A joke. Just watched Molina get fucked over by ref in his fight w/ Kirkland. Ledderman had it 7-2 for Molina going into 10th. One judge had Kirkland UP a pt. going into 10th. Too many comically wrong decisions!!!
williams has a good chance to beat canelo in my opinion cause he throws alot of punches and canelo isn't that fast on his feet but with that said i believe canelo will find away o win
not really lara won that fight and was exited cuz williams is 7 foot big lol and lara is small guy tahts why the judges got suspended and i saw that fight and it was not boring it was good..
@Armando316 Erislandy Lara is by far the most skilled and talented fighter at 154, but him along with Carlos Molina are the best 154 pounders. No one wants to fight these two, GBP will do everything to protect Canelo alvarez from Molina and Alvarez.
and i thought paul williams would beat the shit outta pacman and floyd... damn and plus if paula williams fights any of those it would b a catchweight fight... damn, i really thought paula would beat those 2 but watching this fight... LMFAO HELL NAW!!!
What are you talking about and the 5 people who agree. Cubans are known as punchers This guy Lara is an exception. I didnt say they are brawlers. Cubans are not great "boxers" but great punchers. By the way you name me one Cuban in the past 10 years that is a great "boxer". Paul williams is not a boxer and this fight shows what type fighter Paul is. Paul also is a puncher not a boxer.
emekenon: One more comment on your idiocy. Yes, aggressiveness is factored in when deciding rounds. However, that is realized when the aggressor actually scores - scoring frequently & w/ effective power punches in mix. None of that happened here. William's punches were being blocked, hitting air, or landing w/ no effect. Even William's trainer told him after 9th rd that he losing badly & needed a KO to win. Hmmmm....
outbox a cuban!? lol i doubt you ever boxed before. this is only one fight. if u knew anything all u gotta do is listen to the commentary by roy and max. especially roung two. this fight isnt that hard to break down logically. i guess he outboxed that mexican molina too right? niggas are born athletic. better style, adjustments. reflexes. strength and form. hands down we all know
Lara only gots 2 punches he wont beat canelo to slow dont hit hard enough he aight look at his recird he alright canelo could beat him hard fight but canelo wins
Very quick upload, thanks mate !!!
Thanks for the up. Saul Alvarez vs Williams will probably be a good one, although after watching this I have a lot more confidence in Alvarez.
best quality video well done
Roy Jones making every excuse for PW here.
I agree with everything you said here. Great analysis
There's always been a delicate balance to what Paul Williams, an absolute freak, does in the ring.
The balance has toppled.
lara clearly won this fight
I think you got the names reversed man. Williams wins this one
Lara underrated as fuck.
thank you paul for this fight. i used to fight like him, output and technique over the greater power of the lighters/smallers, but if you're as big as you are against your oppoents like we are, you HAVE that natureal power. you have to tighten up those strikes and commit to them wholehearteldy. your defense will come from that power jab and overhand. great stuff.
Hope Paul is doing well, boxing needs more paul williams. hope to see him again someday

I hated that Paul lost this fight even though they gave it to Paul

Highway robbery. The commentators were scared for Paul's life and somehow he wins. It was ridiculous
Paul Williams=Warrior
lara is way more dangerous than canelo for floyd
did you come here on a floating door?
Rachel Thompson lol you to funny girl
lara busting a floyd running like crazy

thats a logical match up, dont know why they didnt do that
You must be crazy, Lara is a helluva professional. There is a reason Canelo doesn't want to step into the ring with him...
The fuck did Williams fight Lara after a huge KO anyway?
paul got robbed? the only thing that robbed paul was the motorcycle. great champ and i wish him the best
think ward might be to strong, but he has to fight more then 17 fights to get a shot anyway in my book. I hate it when they put these guys in with seasoned boxers at 17 or so fights
Camelot is no fraud, say what u want, but Lara is fighting Vanes

Controversy my ass Paul Williams got dominated in every round.
I don't understand dela hoya and Shaffer? They both tweeted that Lara was robbed, but then match up Williams vs Canelo. Golden Fraud!
funny thing is that lara fought with hands down!
Lara gano, hizo buena pelea y podia haberlo tumbado,tiene buen futuro y que se olvide del empate que le dieron con molina, que ese es un bulto,solo sabia tirarse de cabeza,yo se que esa pelea fue un sin~uelo para sus rivales ,para que creyeran que el era jamon,no saben que es un hueso duro.palante CAMPEON

Lara is the best at 154. He will be avoided by the rest.
This is karma for the carlos molina fight
I know the last time some one said on here that it looks like Williams wasnt the same after the Martinez fight, I have to agree some what, and I dont think this was a robbery, I have Laura winning but I could see rounds going either way
i love paul like a brother but he needs to put his hands up ud think he would he could still see hes like 7'00 tall.
Lara has skills. How tall is he? Williams looks to be aleast 4" taller than him.
LOL you dont tell a fighter that has an obvious reach and hieght advatage to fight inside against a shorter opponent. The taller fighter must keep distance in order for his punches to be effective. Man no wonder some of these people think this guy or that guy won a fight because fans like you have no clue on what boxing really is.
This shit is disgusting. Lara put in work with this fight. Fucking robbery
would of loved to seen canelo vs lara or against cotto instead of mayweather.he could of used the experience. Mayweathers cherry picking is very obvious by fighting canelo now rather than wait 1-3 years untill alvarez is ready
Lara would kill canelo. What a performance. Wow
Why would u ever try to out box a Cuban? Even though Williams is alot taller his only chance was to fight on the inside
@911pen
You can't see Williams doesn't believe in himself. he lost the confidence when he was ko'd by Martinez.
He looks bigger here(Williams). the fight with Martinze he looked drained
emekonen: Watched a different fight, eh? Or maybe you were on LSD...virtually the ENTIRE boxing community (critics, other judges, commentators, the crowd at the fight, UTube postings, Ring Magazine, press row) had Lara WAY ahead. I scored it 8-3-1. The 3 judhes were suspended for 6 months by NJ Boxing Commission.
LOL either way would be a good fight
No wonder no one watches boxing.
how could they give Paul a round let Lo
Lara 4-0. Kicking William's ASS.
wtf are you talking about? Lara made him fight like that.
8-3-1 Lara. Fire those judges. Formally investigate if they were bribed. If they weren't, they need to get another occupation.
Martinez kicked Williams' ass in 1st fight and HE was robbed. A joke.
Just watched Molina get fucked over by ref in his fight w/ Kirkland. Ledderman had it 7-2 for Molina going into 10th. One judge had Kirkland UP a pt. going into 10th. Too many comically wrong decisions!!!
williams has a good chance to beat canelo in my opinion cause he throws alot of punches and canelo isn't that fast on his feet but with that said i believe canelo will find away o win
Lara vs Saul Canelo Alverez
Roy jones was all for williams HBO shoud not bring idiots for commentators.
not really lara won that fight and was exited cuz williams is 7 foot big lol and lara is small guy tahts why the judges got suspended and i saw that fight and it was not boring it was good..
@Ronz93 Lara is a very dangerous puncher. He hurt Paul on a couple of occasions
Erislandy Lara win this fucking fight
@Armando316 Erislandy Lara is by far the most skilled and talented fighter at 154, but him along with Carlos Molina are the best 154 pounders. No one wants to fight these two, GBP will do everything to protect Canelo alvarez from Molina and Alvarez.

@YesWeCain8 Yea man size aint shit if you don't have skill I like williams but he looks done maybe he can fight foreman clottey or dzinz.

CANELO will beat this guy. But Lara is good
Mucho boring fight, clinches all the time.
@Ronz93 ovbiusly u dnt knw nothing about boxing cusz lara is one of the best fighters
