A NEW POWER AT WELTERWEIGHT, PAUL 'THE PUNISHER' WILLIAMS... by Frank Gonzalez Jr.
Standing at six foot-one inch tall, southpaw Welterweight Prospect, Paul “The Punisher” Williams (31-0, 23 KO’s) lived up to his nick name Saturday night in Reno Nevada, when he punished little five foot-seven inch, Sharmba “Little Big Man” Mitchell (57-6, 31 KO’s) for four rounds in a scheduled twelve round mismatch.
The fight was a tale of two prizefighters going in opposite directions, in a battle between a shop worn Mitchell, a former Champion and current stepping-stone fighter, descending into the twilight of his career—against the young and relentless, Paul Williams, a potential star on the way up.

 


 

WILLIAMS TOO BIG FOR 'LITTLE BIG MAN' MITCHELL - KO 4... by George Elsasser
The big coming out party, in with a seriously over seasoned former champion Sharmba Mitchell, was more about the need of a name scalp on the rap sheet - Williams enters undefeated 30-0 with 22 by knockout, but a peek at the victims made for more a glow than a glitter.
Sharmba had a mini flash of success with a well placed combination in stanza two - bad news is what looked nice on camera, also showed the neat connect had zero impact on the undefeated one - and from that point on it’s all downhill for the little big man.

 


 

PAUL WILLIAMS DESTROYS MITCHELL AFTER DARK, AND PLANS ON PUNISHING MARGARITO... by Mike Cassell/PBR
The 25-year-old Paul “The Punisher” Williams, hailing from Aiken, Georgia, is 31 - 0 (23 KOs) and is ranked #1 by the IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO. He took a national stage once again on HBO’s Boxing After Dark, or what I very respectfully call “The Max Kellerman Show.” The fighter Max calls “the unique freak”  thoroughly dismantled the battle-tested former 140 lbs. champion Sharmba Mitchell, who was on his back 4 times in 4 rounds. Williams used his 82” reach to surgically destroy Mitchell, forcing ref Vic Drakulich to mercifully end the fight at 2:57 of  round 4.

 


 

WILLIAMS CONTINUES HIS RISE WITH 4TH ROUND STOPPAGE OVER MITCHELL... by Chris Robinson
Moments ago at the Reno Events Center in Reno, Nevada, Paul ‘The Punisher’ Williams upped his record to 31-0 (23) with a 4th round stoppage over game but outgunned Sharmba Mitchell. From the outset Williams pressed the issue, letting his hands go and connecting clean blows on the smaller Mitchell. Sharmba dug down and did connect with the occasional looping shot but they were simply few and far between for the former 2-time champion. Williams dropped Mitchell once in the 3rd and three more times in the 4th before referee Vic Drakulich called a halt to the contest.

 


 

HBO B.A.D.: WILLIAMS vs MITCHELL AUGUST 19TH FROM RENO EVENTS CENTER
In the main event, top-rated welterweight contender Paul Williams (30-0, 22 KOs), from Augusta, Georgia, faces former two-time junior welterweight champion Sharmba Mitchell (57-5, 30 KOs), from Washington D.C., in a scheduled 12-round, welterweight contest. At 6'2" with a 79-inch reach and southpaw stance, the 24-year old Williams has become one of the more highly touted and often avoided welterweight prospects in the sport.
