През изминалата март 6тата, Williams (18-5-2, 6 Нокаута) was originally supposed to fight Foreman, who withdrew after the weigh in due to sickness. Williams stayed in training camp, took a stay busy fight, and continued preparing for Foreman.
Williams won an 8-round majority decision against Foreman (35-4, 10 Нокаута) two weeks ago this Saturday in Atlanta for the vacant Universal Boxing Organization (УБО) International and American Boxing Federation (ABF) САЩ super welterweight championships.
Williams dropped Foreman twice in the sixth round and won the decision by judges’ scores of 77-73, 77-73, 75-75. “Thirty-seconds more and I think I would have stopped him,” Williams said.
бригадир, биете от Brooklyn, captured the World Boxing Association (WBA) super welterweight World title in 2009, when he won a unanimous 12-round decision versus defending champion Даниел Сантос (32-3-1). Williams and Foreman sparred many years ago at the Joe Grier Boxing Academy in Patterson, New Jersey.
“I’ve been chasing him a long time,” Williams noted. “I stayed in camp when our fight was canceled, took a confidence-building fight, and stayed ready for Yuri. He is a good boxer, not a brawler, and he was in tremendous shape. Yuri’s very intelligent in the ring and fighting him was a good learning experience for me. Например, he was working behind his jab to try and get me to lunge. I had to think more in the ring against him.
“I’m sure he was disappointed after the fight, but he’s a world champion who was in against Мигел Кото and two of his other losses were to world champions (Cotto andErislandy Lara). This was a huge opportunity for me. I’m excited about my career again. We’ll wait and see what fights are ahead for me.
Williams was a standout cornerback at Southern Connecticut State University who was invited to several NFL tryout camps. He came close to making the cut with the then-Oakland Raiders. “Quiet Storm” has been promoted by Джими Бърчфийлд’s Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES) since he turned pro in 2013.
“This is Jimmy’s biggest win of his career,” Williams’ manager Ryan Roach (Locker Locker) коментира. “He just opened a lot of doors for himself. I’m proud of him, he worked hard. He made the sacrifices champions make. Taking out a name like Yuri Foreman is why fighter’s go to work every day. We are working on his next fight date now. Продължавайте да се настройвате, ‘Quiet Storm’ fans.”
