Boxing; 5/23/2008; FNF-ESPN; Williams-Herrera

[frank s.]

Well, Williams has been at cruiser for a long time. Herrera as recently as Jan of 08' was at lt. heavy. Now he puts on 24 pounds to fight a REAL cruiserweight. Based on that I'd say Herrera is "cruising" for a brusing. I'm parlaying the UNDER 6.5-255 here with Hatton-INSIDE-150.

I got on that @ -220 6 1/2 rds. I bet a nice chunk of the cherry winnings but this seems like a pretty good deal. In 20 professional fights ONLY 1of Herreras fights have gone past 6 1/2. Williams knocked Purlette the puck out in 2 in his last go so this has all the makings of an early night...but you never know. Good luck.

This is my post on Box thread.

I have a good size bet on this going under 6 1/2. If a 107 year old Castro could deck Herrera 4 times in 2 rounds, then the bigger Williams should be able to do the same.

Good luck

Yea, it's that weight thing that gets my attention. OK, 6 foot tall, but 24 lbs in 4 months, and going from super middle to lt heavy to cruiser?I mean really, how much power can this guy have? I think when Williams sees he is in with a creampuff, he goes to town. And I started a seperate thread to focus on one thing at a time. Sorry, but I have ADD.

I couldn't resist the opening lines on the under 6.5, woosed out a little bit and did some hedging with over 5.5 rounds. Nothing I'd rather see than the stoppage between 1:30 of round 6 and 7!!

I think we got ripped off with Estrada-Bryant bout cancelled, that was money.

Umm, are you guys getting as nervous as I am about Williams taking his foot off the gas and letting this guy stick around?

 

[weepaul]

This Williams is a **********. I hope he gets KTFO.

If he opened up he would finish this guy. Instead he ****s around and costs us all money.

 

[kegray1]

Williams is a bitch.

 

[HurricaneEddy]

Nevermind- Hererra bailed me out (and I imagine alot of you guys) BIGTIME!!!!!

 

[Romi]

what happened?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I cannot believe that just happened!!!!

1 minute after my post Williams gets dummied. He had all the opportunity in the world to finish this guy but he pissed around until he got caught.

 

[kegray1]

Herrera steps up for the under.Who saw that coming?
I will take it.
Williams is sorry.

 

[frank s.]

WTF! I give up! Never ceases to amaze. But we'll take the win, any way we can get it. Mercy!

Congrats guys, I too was bailed out by that miracle.

Williams should have had him out of there in 1. After round 2 or 3, it looked to me like something was wrong with him, like he got hit with a rabbit punch when he was slipping too low and never recovered or something, hopefully he isn't seriously hurt. He actually looked to his corner after the first KD, perhaps asking them to stop it.

Williams does have a legitimate complain though, in that the doctor intervened and gave Herrera seconds to recover, Ive never seen a doctor do that, and let the fight continue. On a cut or headbutt yes, but never just to check on a hurt fighter. This takes away the earned advantage of the fighter who scored the KD.




Sorry about your parlays boxlocks lol.

btw did you guys catch the Lundy-Almaraz fight with the outrageous scorecard that was mathematically impossible?

 

[weepaul]

I hate watching guys like Williams, with all that talent,speed and power toying with an overmatched opponent, like a cat playing with a mouse. Hurting him, then backing away. Herrera wins one for the mouse!!!:00hour

That Doctor was something else. Getting on the ring apron whenever he felt like it, giving the guys a half hour exam. I am surprised he didn't go the whole route and stick a finger up their arse.

The 4 rounder was funny. Guy gets knocked down twice in 4 rounds and wins on the scorecard by 2 points.

FNF was entertaining tonight :mj07:

C'mon guys, was there ever a doubt??? It was such a "sure" thing that King Over even got on this one. :00hour

There wasnt a doubt until about Rd 4 when Williams stopped throwing any meaningful punches.

I'm not gonna lie- after the first knockdown in Rd 1 I had the BIGGEST shit-eatin grin on my face and was doing my fist pumps.

Rd 3 - I started getting a bit impatient.

Rd 5 - I was literally biting the shit outta my 15$ manicured fingernails - yeah, the last time I did that shit was when I took Indy -3 @ SD in November(?). We know how that one turned out (Payton throws 6 INTs and Viniteri misses a game winning FG)

I literally came on here looking to see if anyone else was sharing my plight. Thank God Hererra has a punch and does NOT **** around like Williams did! Good job dude
