Paul Williams vs Sergio Martinez rematch set for Nov 20th

@danrafaelespn Was told press conference is scheduled on Thursday to finally announce Sergio Martinez-Paul Williams rematch for Nov. 20. About freakin time

Finally!

PW was backed into a corner on this one. he didn't want the fight, but it was the only decent money fight out there for him (as his desire to go to 147 is delusional).

Al Haymon keeps giving his fighters bad advice.

Williams will KO Martinez this time around. Williams would be Middleweight Champ by now if Haymon wasn't advising him.

That's great. It's about time Williams smartened up.

I don't mean to be a prick, but I bet 5 internet bucks that this fight doesn't happen anytime soon.

watched it once, but I thought Maravilla won it convincingly (as did most people). I have a feeling PW thinks Martinez is the better fighter and its the reason he tried to avoid a rematch. Who ever said he would KO Martinez this time around is delusional. PW couldnt hurt Martinez in their last fight. PW doesnt seem very confident this time around and I think Martinez will win a convincing desicion this time around (to unbiased judges). PW looked like shit his last time out, age and the wars he has been are taking their toll.

Bold statement.

The first fight was very close I thought it could have gone either way, it definitely wasn't 119-110. Just like Williams wasn't up four rounds on Cintron at the time of the stoppage like one judge had it. I think Julie Lederman had Williams Martinez a draw, even though I hate draws in this case it seemed fair.

I had Martinez winning as well

Call me crazy... but PW will stop SM this time.

YOU'RE CRAZY! ;0

This is one of those fights where no outcome would surprise me. Love fights like that.

I may be crazy

But SM is 35, and PW has the two things needed to beat a guy like SM(pressure and high punch out-put). These two things saved PW in the first fight. I just think he wears down SM a little quicker this time around, and stops him.

But of course I could be totally wrong...

I think Martinez is gonna get a decision in a close fight, and there will be another big argument on who really won.

Then it goes to a trilogy (hopefully not slapped on PPV).

If Martinez is smart he'll stay on his toes and BOX. No need to mix it up with Tally Talington and risk losing everything.

I think Martinez wins a convincing decision this time around in a fight where the scorecards are closer than they should be

I scored the first fight for Williams but I wouldn't have a had a problem if Martinez had won. I really can't tell who'll win this one.
