Paul Williams Vs Erislandy Lara - HBO Boxing Odds
Date: July 9, 2011
Time: 7:30 PM
Venue: Boardwalk Hall - Atlantic City, NJ
Former two-time holder of the (WBO) welterweight championship and longtime pound-for-pound ranked fighter Paul Williams (39-2, 27 KO’s), is making a comeback from a crushing second-round knockout loss to middleweight champ Sergio Martinez in November, Williams will return to the ring on July 9, 2011 against world-ranked Cuban defector Erislandy Lara (15-0-1, 10 KO) in a battle of southpaws for the main event of HBO's "Boxing After Dark" at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The fight is crucial to both fighters as they are each coming off of performances that saw their stock drop. Williams was initially suppose to fight Nobuhiro Ishida, but HBO pulled the plug , rejecting Ishida as a main-event fighter.
Williams, was brutally knocked out last November against middleweight champion Sergio Martinez, and the initial agreed-to fight against Ishida was viewed as a very soft touch. Lara is, on paper, a tougher proposition, but will still be the underdog. 29-year-old Williams has faced and beaten the far tougher opposition.
Erislandy Lara, is coming off of an uneven performance in Las Vegas having a much tougher time than expected with Chicago's Carlos Molina. Lara had serious trouble with Molina's movement and appeared to be outworked for much of the fight, but the Cuban fighter had been a top prospect in the 154-pound division for quite a while before that, and a fight with Williams will give him the chance to erase the bad taste from that performance.
