    “Whitaker was so slick and to me, he felt like he was in a whole different class,” De La Hoya said. “He was a southpaw and he had all these tricky moves and everything. But he didn’t mind trading with you and Mayweather didn’t want to do that.”

    I always liked Verno. He is a solid lunch box type of fighter. I expect Williams to outwork him and win a UD.

    Margarito don't want to rematch Williams...just yet..Margarito isnt' campaigning for that rematch..he mention wanting to fight a few guys at 147...Cotto, Mosley..but not Williams...

    Verno is average..but he can surprise a few..he won't win..but it will put to slow down those people who say Williams would beat Pavlik...

    Mitchell, I don't know about your thread title. I've yet to hear that Phillips' title will be at stake; in fact, all indications seem to point to his eventually giving up the title in taking this fight.

    As I re-read the blurb you posted, it suggests that the fight will be for the WBO interim title, which all but confirms that Phillips will vacate... that's if FightNews got that part right.

    This will be a one sided fight.

    Hopefully Paul stays at 154. I'd like to see him fight Martinez. It appears that Martinez is a rich man's version of Quintana.

    Or better yet, I'd like to see him in against Kirkland.

    This will be his 6th fight in 13 months.

    The only question in this fight is whether it goes the distance.

    Yeah, I goofed...it's for said "for the WBO interim 154lb title".

    I seriously need to actually read the full sentences.

    Agreed, I don't have much interest in this fight.

    So we get Dzinziruk vs. Williams afterwards.

    For both fighters to get paid?

    I'm sure Verno wouldn't mind the payday, as well as the added bonus of not losing a title in the ring.

    What I don't like about it, is that if a WBO interim title is at stake, then Williams, should he win, will be forced to give up one belt or the other. I don't see an interim title piquing anyone's interest at 154 any more so than the belt he currently holds at 147.

    And call me crazy but what exactly does he line up with an interim title win at 154? Neither HBO or Showtime will pay for PWill-Dzinziruk, and if by some chance Julio wins next month, there's no way in hell Main Events will let him fight Williams in his very next fight, if at all.

    In all honestly, if not for Phillips' IBF title, it might as well be for no title at all.
