Their third pro bouts, scheduled for April 20 at Cintas Center in Cincinnati, also will be six-rounders. They grew up in the West End. That's the ultimate. Williams, who was praised by the New York media for turning in the most impressive effort of the six Olympians making their pro debuts there Saturday night, said he and Craig want to re-establish Cincinnati as a great fight town. We want to give something back.
People there deserve it.
I am going to continue to represent Cincinnati to the best of my ability. Williams' handlers would like to have him fighting for a title within two years. Ringside analysts thought Craig delivered the single best punch of Saturday night's event, a perfect straight right to Fallen's chin two minutes into the first round, which crumpled him. Fallen twice tried to get up, but sank to the canvas and when he finally got to his feet by the count of six, he still was wobbly. Referee Pete Santiago stopped it.
