Williams stayed in training camp, took a stay busy fight, and continued preparing for Foreman.<\/p>\n<p>Williams won an 8-round majority decision against Foreman (35-4, 10 KOs two weeks ago this Saturday in Atlanta for the vacant Universal Boxing Organization (UBO) International and American Boxing Federation (ABF) USA super welterweight championship.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Williams dropped Foreman twice in the sixth round and won the decision by judges\u2019 scores of 77-73, 77-73, 75-75. \u201cThirty-seconds more and I think I would have stopped him,\u201d Williams said.<\/p>\n<p>Foreman, fighting out of Brooklyn, captured the World Boxing Association (WBA) super welterweight World title in 2009, when he won a unanimous 12-round decision versus defending champion Daniel Santos (32-3-1). Williams and Foreman sparred many years ago at the Joe Grier Boxing Academy in Patterson, New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been chasing him a long time,\u201d Williams noted. \u201cI 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\u2019s very intelligent in the ring and fighting him was a good learning experience for me. For example, he was working behind his jab to try and get me to lunge. I had to think more in the ring against him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sure he was disappointed after the fight, but he\u2019s a world champion who was in against Miguel Cotto and two of his other losses were to world champions (Cotto and Erislandy Lara). This was a huge opportunity for me. I\u2019m excited about my career again. We\u2019ll wait and see what fights are ahead for me.<\/p>\n<p>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. \u201cQuiet Storm\u201d has been promoted by Jimmy Burchfield\u2019s Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES) since he turned pro in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is Jimmy&#8217;s biggest win of his career,\u201d Williams\u2019 manager Ryan Roach (Fighter Locker) commented. \u201cHe just opened a lot of doors for himself. I&#8217;m proud of him, he worked hard. He made the sacrifices champions make. Taking out a name like Yuri Foreman is why fighter&#8217;s go to work every day. We are working on his next fight date now.
