Williams vs Ishida: Live Results and Round-By-Round Coverage

Tonight at 10 p.m. EST, Showtime goes live from Corpus Christi, Texas, with a double-header featuring former welterweight and junior middleweight titlist Paul Williams facing Nobuhiro Ishida in a bounce-back fight, and IBF light heavyweight titlist Tavoris Cloud defending against Gabriel Campillo.
Early Undercard Results
Chris Arreola knocked out Eric Molina in the first round, then turned his post-fight interview focus on Don King.
Malik Scott returned from a three-year break to beat Kendrick Releford.
In a big upset, Justin Williams (4-5-1, 2 KO) beat Alfonso Lopez (22-3, 17 KO) by unanimous decision in six rounds. Williams dropped Lopez in the second round.
But first at 8 p.m. EST, Showtime Extreme goes live with Barry Tompkins and Steve Farhood on the microphones, and Chris Arreola in a featured undercard bout against Eric Molina in the heavyweight division.
This is a new idea at Showtime Sports, which was supposed to debut last weekend on the rescheduled Ortiz vs Berto II card, but instead will get its first run tonight. It's a great idea that hopefully boxing fans will embrace -- the UFC has conditioned fight fans to care about the entire card by offering more than just their main card fights for everyone to see, and this is a step in that direction for boxing.
Bad Left Hook will have live, round-by-round results for all the action, starting with the prelim show at 8. So join us tonight for more boxing as we wrap up a long day of coverage.

I haven't watched a ton of boxing lately
But I’m very excited about the deep undercards being televised. I also think Cloud-Campillo will be a technical barnburner.

How cool is it they are showing these deep undercards for hardcore fans.

From Chris Mannix:
Chisora and Haye are now yelling at each other. Incredible … Chisora yelling “how’s your toe” over and over. Now he’s rushing Haye. they are brawling. … Still brawling. Haye threw the first punch. … Chisora: “I’m going to shoot you. I’m going to physically shoot David Haye.” … Chisora claiming Haye hit him with a bottle. … Wladimir is standing on a chair laughing. Gives me two thumbs up. He’s loving this. … Chisora: “If David doesn’t fight me, I’m going to find him on the street and kill him. I’ll burn him.” … Adam Booth is beeding from a cut on his skull. Chisora telling him, “look in my eyes, I’m going to kill your fighter.” … Haye and Chisora are gone. A giddy Wladimir Klitschko is doing interviews. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him have this much fun. … I’m told that the police are waiting for Chisora outside. Don’t know who called them, but they are here for them.

Sure
But I still don’t like him to be more than a fringe contender. He’s a slickster who might be able to give certain fighters some trouble, but he’ll never beat a true top fighter. A boxer will outbox him, but he can probably outbox the occasional slugger.

Arreola looks as sharp as I've seen him.
Short punches. Decent power. Using his forearms to block punches. Still not moving his head, which I’ve always thought was his worst point, but I doubt that changes at this age. He’ll never be a threat to a Klitschko, but I’d like to see him against Povetkin.

Arreola vs Molina Round 1
Arreola coming right to him, looking for shots. Arreola puts him on the ropes, slaps away with a jab, trying to get him to open up and drop the guard. Body shot Molina, but Arreola with a long right clipping him back. Right to the body again from Molina. He’s trying to stand his ground, but Arreola is bodying up on him pretty easily.
Arreola with a jab, then a right to the body again from Molina. Arreola shooting for a KO. Arreola isn’t wowing anyone yet, but he looks locked in. Right hand from Molina shakes Arreola! Arreola got hurt there. Molina has him on the ropes and he’s throwing! ARREOLA FIRING BACK! Hot damn!
Arreola pushing back and THERE’S A BIG RIGHT AND DOWN GOES ERIC MOLINA!
He will not get up!

Right hand down the pipe from Cloud, then a left hand follows it. Cloud’s pressure is effective so far — not landing huge shots, but landing clean and clearly bossing the fight.
BIG RIGHT HAND AND DOWN GOES GABRIEL CAMPILLO! Pow!
Campillo back up. Doesn’t appear badly hurt, but Cloud’s trying to finish, and CAMPILLO IS DOWN AGAIN! Good call on the KD by the ref there, and a good job breaking it up.
43 seconds to go. Cloud charging him. Uppercut lands! He’s throwing his hands and Campillo has no idea what to do with him, just trying to shove him away and buy time. Campillo is throwing nothing.
Let me be really clear: Gabriel Campillo can fight. This is SERIOUSLY impressive from Tavoris Cloud
Cloud 10-7

Yeah, I thought he would get better after tahat disastrous first time on TV but seems the big accomplishment is that he can now talk without freezing up, but not a good analyst anyways

Cloud vs Campillo Round 2
Left hand from Campillo partially blocked by Cloud. Campillo now coming forward and throwing. There’s a long left from Campillo, and now Cloud is looking a little off. I’ll be damned, but this is developing into some kind of fight.
Cloud trying to move forward and take back the momentum. he started the round well, but then Campillo got into a bit of a rhythm. two jabs from Cloud, but Campillo throws four back and lands a couple.

Cloud vs Campillo Round 3
First minute has Cloud trying to firmly take this fight back, but Campillo landing. NICE left and a right uppercut from Campillo. Body shots from Campillo! Combination to the head! Hot damn!
Another uppercut lands. rocking Cloud around. Body shots landing, and HARD. Man oh man. Campillo looking very relaxed and confident now, making Cloud miss. Body shots again. Those things are landing constantly, and landing hard. Right to the body, now Cloud clips him with a home run uppercut, but not flush. Cloud starting to look a bit frustrated by Campillo.
Oh i am loving this one.

Such a great style clash, like I was hoping. 29-26 Cloud for me, but Campillo is doing very well. I’ve long maintained that Campillo is actually one of the top 3 or 4 LHWs in the world. I think he beats Pascal 10 times out of 10.

Cloud vs Campillo Round 4
Cloud unleashing power shots again, but Campillo blocking them. Still, he’s got to throw back in those situations. Judges gonna be judges.
Hook to the body from Campillo, doesn’t get all the way there. Campillo stalking Cloud now. Cloud a little uneasy in there. Left down the middle from Campillo. Campillo just pop-pop-popping him now. Double left hook from Cloud, blocked, but gives him a moment to press forward. Right hands not getting there. Campillo kind of making him look rudimentary there.
Very interesting round to score so far. 30 seconds left. Cloud coming forward with bigger shots, but not landing a lot. Campillo landing some counters, but not throwing enough. Right hand Cloud. I’m going Cloud on aggression this round.

Jab from Cloud, but then Campillo pops him with a three-punch combo. Campillo open for a right hand counter, Cloud just misses. Campillo with a big uppercut, and he takes this round with a great final minute.

Cloud vs Campillo Round 6
Cloud cut isn’t good, but he’s not changing his style at all. Ruled not a clash of heads.
Cloud getting busy, but Campillo landing a bit cleaner perhaps. Body shots from both. Cloud gets him to the ropes, Campillo just shrugs it off. One-two shot from Campillo. Cloud ducks a few shots and gets back on the front foot.
Body shot Campillo, but Cloud counters back upstairs with a good shot. Cloud loading up too much, too concerned with big shots and letting Campillo dictate too much of the fight, IMO.

Campillo again just way too busy. That’s the real difference with him tonight opposed to normal, and makes me think he can win this fight: He’s fighting aggressively enough to not get overlooked.
Making Cloud miss, landing in combination. Cloud’s head rocked around again. Campillo is way too crafty, too smart for Cloud right now. Cloud is a good fighter, but this is why some of us thought he’d be in hell against even a very old Bernard Hopkins. He’s very basic.
Body combinations and ripping shots to the head from Campillo. another left, then about seven more punches come in from Campillo.

Cloud needs something special on my card. you take away those knockdowns and this is an ass whipping overall.

Referee calling time and they’re gonna look at the cut. Let him finish. You have to let him finish at this point.
And they will let him continue.
Cloud comes away from that trying to land something big, and he’s gotta do it. He’s trying, but Campillo just turns it up and smacks him around again. he’s too good now. Cloud is giving his absolute best and fighting his heart out, he’s just being beaten. BIG RIGHT by Cloud, that stung Campillo. Gus freaks out like he died though. Of course.

by Verklemptomaniac on Feb 18, 2012 11:15 PM EST reply actions
There is an issue with the Sarmiento-trained fighters with the judges. Obviously we have a very limited sampling, but some of the decisions are truly baffling compared from what we see on TV versus what the judges are scoring.
In particular, Sergio Martinez’s draw against Kermit Cintron and the 119-110 card against Paul Williams in the first fight. There’s just something that does not seem to translate from what we see versus what the referees are looking at.
Then again, I’m not one to claim corruption/collusion in these cases. With something this continuous, there has to be some reason that the Sarmiento trained fighters are not translating to the judges ringside. Maybe I’m just still too young and naive, but this is what I’m thinking.
The issue is that the Sarmiento-trained fighters are not the house fighters.

Williams vs Ishida Round 1
THERE’S ONLY OOOOOOOOOOONE NOBUHIRO ISHIDA
Left from Williams. He’s pushing Ishida back to start the fight. Another long left. Ishida landed a shot early but now he’s being pushed back easily. Little left from Ishida. I do like seeing two guys with this body type fight each other.
Let me be clear: I really like watching Paul fight. He’s just delusional is all. Not about his career, just about, like, what he does wrong (because they don’t think he does anything wrong). Every punch is a lucky punch.

Williams does not commit to his punches
Ishida hasn’t been buzzed by any of these power shots.

He doesn’t have snap in his punches.
"Boxing is dirty," said Casamayor. " The day I’m not ready to be a dirty fighter is the day I don’t fight anymore because it will mean that I have no heart for it anymore."
He also throws from wide angles
So he loses the power when he lands.

I think either boxer lands a clean counter combo it could be over.
Just seems like that type of fight that may end on one big counter punch.

Williams vs Ishida Round 8
Paul coming out hard this round, throwing both hands like a damned hurricane. He’s fighting to impress. Can’t fault that.
Ishida landing a couple, and then a big one gets in. Trying to time him. I think he took this round. Good, active round.
Ishida 10-9
Williams 78-74

Ishida.
9.5-9. I gave him that round, seemed like another round that easily a judge could rule for williams. still 78-74.
Campillo is videobombing the fight.
I couldn’t figure out what the rucus was.

williams. I have it 7-2 88-83 my dads got it 8-1 89-82.
It’s pretty much a landslide.
I think what we're learning from this fight is that tall Paul is still tall Paul.
That sounds like a cliche. What I mean is that he seems not better nor worse than the guy we knew he was. In retrospect the KO by Martinez isn’t surprising. He wasn’t destroyed by it, and it meant less about Paul than we thought at the time. His weaknesses and strengths have been pretty consistent.

Great volume, and impressive infighting skills for such a lanky guy were the other two that spring to mind
Before we here another Hearns comparison… I think a Bowe reference should be mentioned. A big guy who fought in the inside pretty well.

All it told me, and I thought similar at the time (not trying to sound “smart”) was that that punch Sergio hit him with over and over the first time out can knock him out if he lands a home run version.

Williams vs Ishida Round 10
If this keeps up, I can say that Paul will be back in my rankings at 154 on Monday (or Tuesday). I have to rank him over Vanes at this point, probably over K9 too. So he might come in at No. 9. Interesting to me and no one else, maybe. But describing this fight isn’t easy, even though it’s a fine fight.

Basically a shutout for PW
You can give one or two rounds to Ishida because he looked better than ours, but PW set the temp the entire time and landed essentially all of the significant punches.
With that said (and I am a PW fanboi), I’m not very impressed. Ishida was clearly outmatched but PW couldn’t get him out of there. Meh.

The only reason I could see a Chavez Jr bout with Williams is that Chavez needs a big name.
And that is a large large stretch. Williams just simply isnt that good.

Ok rebound for PW. Wonder where his stock would be if he fought Ishida directly after Martinez rather than Lara.
