That's it for tonight. Just to wrap it up: Paul Williams defeats Nobuhiro Ishida by unanimous decision. All 3 judges scoring the bout 120 - 108.

Ishida earned one more decent payday. Williams showed he can still outwork his opponent and isn't scared to trade. It will be interesting when he fights another real puncher and tests his chin. Alvarez, Chavez, and Martinez all are known punchers. A victory against any of them would do a lot to send Williams back to where he wants to be.

Williams says he worked on not getting hit throughout the fight. He calls out Chavez Jr, Alvarez, and Martinez. When asked about Kirkland he says he wants "big names."

Unanimous decision: all three judges 120 - 108 for Paul Williams.

Round 12: Ishida was game the entire fight, but Williams proved to be too much for him. Lightening did not strike twice. Williams finished the fight with 934 punches. For him a slow night. 

Round 12: 10 - 9 Williams

Round 11: Ishida hit Williams with a powerful right hand and it didn't make Williams blink. He just ate it and through his own left hook. Unless something dramatic happens, I don't think Ishida even has a punchers chance to win this fight. 

Round 11: 10 - 9 Williams

Round 10: When Paul Williams was younger, people compared him to Tommy Hearns. Those comparisons have been put on mute in recent years. Although they are physically similar, they are drastically different as fighters. Hearns was a knockout artist who knew how to finish his opponents. Williams doesn't seem to know how to pull the trigger. But against someone like Ishida, he can get by winning by decision. 

Round 10: 10 - 9 Williams

Round 9: Paul has hit Ishida for 9 rounds and Ishida keeps coming forward. It makes me wonder if he still has the one punch power he showed in his earlier career. In this fight he won't need it. He has won every round on his boxing ability.

Round 9: 10 - 9 Williams

This is the type of fight Williams needs to win by KO. He has gone from fighting on HBO to PPV to HBO to Showtime. He says he wants the big money fights, and he is going to need big knockout victories against fighters better than Ishida for that to happen.

Round 8: Starts the round punishing Ishida with a barrage of punches. Ishida is throwing, but his punches are ineffective. 

Round 8: 10 - 9 Williams

Round 7: One big problem I see with Williams style is he throws from awkward positions. He hits his opponents with punches from different angles, but it also leaves him open to counters. Much like the shot Sergio Martinez hit him with to knock him out. But, Ishida is no Martinez... and Paul is having his way with the man from Japan.

Round 7: 10 - 9 Williams

Going into the 7th round and Paul Williams has already thrown 477 punches. Let's see if he slows down in the 2nd half of the fight.

Round 6: The fight is beginning to follow the same formula. Ishida is tries to fight Williams, but doesn't have the skill or power to really threaten Williams. Williams is beating Ishida on the inside and from a distance.

Round 6: 10 - 9 Williams

I think Williams is fighting a winning fight, but this is not the same Paul Williams who fought Antonio Margarito and Winky Wright. Williams was an absolute monster two or three years ago. 

Round 5: Williams rebounded in this round. He landed more volume, landed harder shots, and dictated where he wanted Ishida to move.

Round 5: 10 - 9 Williams

Round 4: This was the closets round of the fight. Ishida put in some work in the early round, doing very well on the inside. Williams rebounded in the last half of the round and landed some strong combinations to the head. It could be scored a "give 'em" round for Ishida, but I would still have to go with Williams.

Round 4: 10 - 9 Williams

Round 3: Paul Williams started the round beautifully. Peppering Ishida with some tremendous power punches. But, with 30 seconds left Ishida rocked Williams with a left hook. I give the round to Williams, Ishida waited too long to make his mark on the round.

Round 3: 10 - 9 Williams

Round 2: Ishida looks to mix it up in this round. The first minute sees some in fighting between the two. I'm impressed with Ishida's aggression. Normally, people run away from Williams exchanges. Ishida is not afraid to take a punch if he can give one. Unfortunately for Ishida, Williams is landing the better shots.

Round 2: 10 - 9 Williams

Round 1: The fight starts off with both fighters feeling each other out. Williams pushes Ishida on the ropes and throws a variety of punches. Williams game is to throw a high volume of punches. He usually starts slow and then turns it on. I expect the same thing in this fight. Ishida gives this round away due to his inactivity.

Round 1: 10 - 9 Williams

Ishida is smaller than Williams. I've always said The Punisher could be a middleweight.

Gloves have been touched. Fight starts now.

Fighter introductions are going on right now. Jimmy Lennon Jr. setting the tone for the main event.

Paul Williams has been trained by George Peterson since he started boxing. Always great to see someone train a kid into a championship fighter. 

Ishida makes his way to the ring. He largely is market as the guy who knocked out James Kirkland. If he wins this fight, he will be a serious boxing contender.

The bell tolls 10 times for Angelo Dundee.
