Richard Williams guns for revenge...

Richard Williams' hand injury has cleared up and he goes for revenge against Sergio Martinez on the Brian Magee-Fighting Nordin bill at the legendary King's Hall in Belfast on April 17.
Martinez will be defending the IBO light-middleweight title he won from Williams in a shocker last June.

Got to pick martinez again. Boxed on the same show has him down Bristol when he totaly outboxed and stopped the very tough Adrian Stone, In style too!

Really like Richard inside and outside the ropes, but he's got his work cut out imo. GOOD LUCK TO HIM ANYWAY. if anyone deserves to succeed in my eyes williams is up their

I'm picking Williams if he comes in in good shape like he did in his last fight. He knows he's got the power to hurt Martinez, and this time he will be able to follow it up and stop Martinez in 9 rounds.

It will definately be an cracking fight

and Williams will know alot more about him this time

I pick Williams aswell. Even when he wasn't fighting at 100%, he still managed to floor Martinez twice. I see him stopping Martinez this time round.

I pick Williams to win in style, it wasn't the real Richard Williams who lost to Martinez. Williams is a better fighter than Martinez, and I think he'll be 100% this time, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the fight.

Williams KO 9

I do side with this view, but not at all certain. Martinez is quality and Williams I think can get flummuxed by movers.

But the power is an important issue - thats why I just lean towards Williams.

I like Martinez' style, but I hope Richard wins.

I think Williams knows this is his last chance to get himself the type of fights that i believe his natural talent deserves.
I think he'll turn up physically and mentally right and stop Martinez in the middle to late rounds.

A sharp RW beats Martinez !.

If RW can hit him to the body - he will be half way there !..

Correct sparring with a welterweight emulating martinez style should do it..

A well prepared RW wins...by stoppage - then some BIG MONEY FIGHTS !!
