Paul Williams will be looking to establish himself as the most dangerous man in the middleweight division by beating 37-year-old Ronald "Winky" Wright on April 11 at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Experts expect Williams to have an easy time with the aging Wright, who does not match up well against the 82-inch reach of Williams.

Williams has victories over former champions Antonio Margarito, Carlos Quintana, and Verno Phillips. At 6ft 2in, Williams is one of the more active fighters in the division, and throws more punches per round than the average middleweight fighter. Wright is not known for power, and usually looks to out-box his opponents. He does have wins over Shane Mosley, Felix Trinidad, and Ike Quartey, but he’s also coming off a 21-month layoff.

Current boxing odds have Williams as the heavy favorite at -200, while Wright is the underdog at +150.
