The Greatest of This Time welterweight tournament was thrown into turmoil last night when multi-division contender Paul Williams held an impromptu press conference at ring side after Jackson Osei Bonsu's split-decision win over Mike Jones capped the first round of qualifying action.
"How the &@(* could they leave me out?" demanded a visibly angry Williams. "Just another case of everybody being afraid of PWill."
Williams insisted he could easily make the 147 pound weight limit, despite not fighting at welter since mid-2008.
Tournament officials are reportedly reconsidering their decision to limit fighters to two weight divisions.
"We didn't think he could make the weight," said one, on condition of anonymity. "But if there's a way to work him in, it would certainly make the tournament better."
