Paul Williams vs. Erislandy Lara
Fight Notes: In his first fight since being knocked out by a left hand from Sergio Martinez, Paul Williams takes on another slick southpaw in undefeated Erislandy Lara. Proving that he has not recovered from the devastating knockout, Williams eats hard left hands from Lara all night, several of which buckle his knees. A clash of heads in the fifth round opens a cut over Williams' left eye and causes a hematoma above Lara's. In one of the worst decisions in a decade, the judges inexplicably name Williams the winner by a majority decision. |

What a fucking disgrace of a decision that really sidetracked Lara's career.

Lara deserved to win this fight, there is no doubt about that.

Lara should have gotten a bigger spot light for his class in and out of the ring.

Re: Paul Williams vs. Erislandy Lara
It's not right that they keep pushing novice down fight fans but a talented guy like Erislandy Lara can't catch a break promotionally or get a fair shake with the judges outside the ring.

Re: Paul Williams vs. Erislandy Lara
What an absolutely idiotic decision and a real shame for Lara to have this complete garbage decision on his record. The three """judges""" were rightfully suspended after this fight. Although, unfortunately, it seems at least some are back to judging.

Re: Paul Williams vs. Erislandy Lara
Erislandy Lara losing this fight was straight up criminal! Williams didn't win 2 rounds in this fight and yet he gets the decision.
