    No words can even repair the constant damage to boxing. They see $$$s only, cause Williams vs Martinez generates BIG MONEY!

    Am I surprised? NO! It's been going on forever in boxing but I feel SICK every time. Credit to Chris Byrd for getting a decision on a fight everyone felt he lost and he said it after the fight... "I clearly lost." That's a true man!

    This fight is on an entirely different level of robbery than Macklin and Matthysse. It's like comparing a purse snatching to robbing an armored truck...

    When I seen who the judges were I didn't really know them well. I had a thought of a bad decision coming. Teddy Atlas said the other week what a decision like that sets the fighter back as far as wear and tear on his body just to get back to the point he was before the bad decision. But in this case it was SO BAD Lara probally didn't lose any ground. The backers of Lara just lost their money. I put that one in the unbelievable catogory. How could they even annouce that...lol

    Paul Williams doesn't generate money anywhere.  He has no fan base.

    the thing with paul williams is he is a great action fighter but i really hope he seeks a new trainer that leaving the right hand on his waist is not a good strategy if he can't block a left hand let alone a straight he will not survive the next fight in that weight division. Lara had a great gameplan to take his slap shots and back up for the power left hooks and straights. i hope we can see lara in hbo again a gurantee you he will not leave it to the judges this time.

    IMHO....williams didn't land a meanful punch the last 4 rounds. he was ready to fall over. how bout the interview with his trainer when he said wait till the fight is over!!! he knew if paul stayed on his feet he probally get the decision.
