HEAVYWEIGHT WILLIAMSON READY TO 'TAKE NEXT STEP' AFTER IMPRESSIVE KO WIN DaVarryl Williamson may pack the most potent punch in boxing "pound-for-pound." That seems an odd claim considering Williamson is a heavyweight. But at 211 pounds he's a small heavyweight, although one with inordinate power. The Cedric Kushner Promotions heavyweight proved that fact once again last week when he stopped huge and sturdy Corey Sanders with one right hand to the head late in the fifth round of their nationally televised main event at the Mountaineer Race Track & Gaming Resort in Chester, W. Va. It's the 12th straight knockout and 14th straight win for the lanky, 6-foot-4-inch Williamson, who boasts a record of 17-1 with 16 knockouts. "DaVarryl's sensational victory justifies the confidence CKP has in him," said Cedric Kushner. "I think Sanders underestimated my power," said Williamson, who was making his 10-round debut. "A lot of people do, but not the 16 guys I've put to sleep." "It was a tremendous win," said Williamson, who was a five-time national amateur champion before turning pro during 2000. "That's because it was a risky fight. I took the fight on short notice (after Sanders' original opponent withdrew), and Sanders is six years younger and a lot bigger than me. "But I had to step up. There's no time to waste." Once Williamson, who turned 34 the day before this win, had Sanders hurt, he didn't waste any time. CKP Heavyweight Williamson Score Big KO |
