Now on to today’s questions:
It was the worst decision many have ever seen. Erislandy Lara knocked Paul Williams around for most of their fight with the same left hand World Middleweight Champion Sergio Martinez floored “The Punisher” with. More ridiculous was Williams’ trainer, George Peterson, stating in the pre-fight interview that there was no need to work on why Martinez caught Williams because it was just a punch that Williams didn’t see. Well, it’s a pretty good bet that he saw all of the left hands that Lara caught him with! So based on what you saw, how does Williams do in a rematch against Martinez and should Williams get a new trainer before that rematch?
Also, what did you think about the performances of Lucian Bute (vs. Jean Paul Mendy), Brandon Rios (vs. Urbano Antillon) and Rico Ramos (vs. Akifumi Shimoda)?
You pay the bills, fans, so what do YOU think?
