You heard wrong, it was Lou DiBella.

I think he was always a tad overated and unlikely to be a world champion, but this result has surprised me. He must be going through some personal problems - wouldn't be surprised if we find out Williams has checked into to some clinic - likes his partying so I've heard.

Ricardo Williams is a great example of strong body, weak mind.

i copied it form the general board, blame them

Ricardo Williams has struggled to keep his weight down and just doesn't seem to have the desire that his skills warant.

These large signing on fees are not always the best idea - when an athlete is instantly wealthy without having to fight (professionally) for it, it can dampen their enthusiasm for the sport.

The match maker wants shooting for putting Williams in with Galloway - his herky jerky spidery style is enough to make anyone look bad. I have heard it said that in the event of a nuclear war, all that will be left are cockroaches, and Manning Galloway.
