The way Williams got outboxed is embarrassing. It's good he knocked him out in the second fight, because I think Quintana would have outboxed him again. The way he consistently blocked Quintana's punches with his face was just terrible. Im amazed he actually has just one lost.
Williams is a stylistic nightmare for little Cotto. He would be on him all night until Cotto takes a knee again and quits.
For someone with the physical tools that Williams has it's shocking how badly he uses his natural advantages
Yep. I said this pre-Quintana and it's true to this day. I'd actually be interested to see Williams vs. Quintana III. Williams got a good stoppage in the rematch, yes, but he still got outboxed in the first one. A quick knockout often tells us very little.
styles make fights and Quintana was big enough and skilled enough and trained hard enough to beat a prime Paul Williams at welterweight.
I think Williams got a little full of himself, believed his own hype, and took Quintana way too lightly. He fought like an idiot.
