Paul Williams-Luiz Collazo being discussed for 11/29 HBO BAD

[warp]

Should be a pretty good fight. Only thing stopping it would be if Collazo rejects the low money he'll be making, but he should take it seeing as how he won't be making that much more against anyway. Chris Arrerola is on the undercard too.

This is a good sloution for Margarito-Willaims 2 not being made. Margarito fighitng Clottey, which I'm not that against since it seems to have a pretty good undercard, and then Williams fighting a good opponnet in the mean time.

No one should expect Williams to walk through Collazo like he did in the second Quintana fight. Collazo is a big, strong welterweight and if Paul underestimates him he will get schooled.

Collazo is the same size as Quintana if not a little smaller.

Maybe, but he will not fold like Quintana did, and has a much better defense, also has a pretty good jab.

I don't know, he might. I agree with warp on this one. I just don't see Pwill losing to him. Though if he does, it would not be the first time i was wrong, lol. Right warp?

I like this match up for one. I don't know if Colllazo is a better boxer then Quintana, but it's interesting none the less because last time he got "exposed" against a pure boxer. I'm not all that sold on Williams to be honest. I like watching him fight, but Quintana's movement puzzled the crap out of him and I'm not sure if he can handle it. Collazo constantly moving and giving angles can limit his workrate by a lot. Kind of like a bigger work rate stopped Margarito from throwing as much as he does for 7 rounds.

So yeah, I think Williams will ultimately win, but I wouldn't be at all shocked if Collazo pulled off the upset.

Meanwhile, Margarito-Clottey 2 is a good fight. Am I the only one who is sick of Clottey's "Wahhh I broke my hand", but really didn't act? I mean I can understand an injury, but great fighters pull through it and manage to win. **** even closely winning where it's disputed and then beating him in a rematch comfortably is fine (see:Mayweather-Castillo 1 and 2), but all Clottey does is whine like a ***** and when infact he only brusied his knuckle. I don't believe Margarito's "Well I hurt my ankle and hand" because I think it was just a poor showing and him getting overworked by angles and workrate for the first 4 rounds, but Margarito took over and got his crap together and won the fight. I'll pick Margarito by decision.

[Goodfella2279]

I like the fight, but I see Williams winning this. He's too tall, and throws way too many punches for Collazo to be able to efectively box him. I'm picking Williams by late round stoppage, but it should be entertaining while it lasts.

Yesterday it was reported on ESPN.com that Williams will (also?) be fighting on September 25th on Versus for a 10 round Jr.Middleweight bout vs TBA and Chris Arrerola will be fighting someone who I forget his name right now.

Both tune ups I think to keep them busy and get them ready for November hopefully.
