Kermit the KILLER Cintron by stoppage. Too much power and Williams has no defense. His offense is his defense. I have a strong feeling this one is gonna be over soon.
I agree, Paul will be winning early on but will not deter Kermie enough to make him cry like Antonio did. Paul will be winning 3-1 after 4 but after that I feel Kermit starts to land his straight rights and wins by KO after the 6th.
Good analysis and I'd be inclined to agree. As he showed against Margarito, Williams is pretty durable. It'll take a few bombs but I doubt anyone on here questions Cintron's power. If Williams can't shut him down before that right hand starts landing with regularity, it's gonna be a pretty short night for the new WBO champ.
Damn!!! What an exciting fight. At this early juncture I will go with Cintron, but see how things lead up.
I picked Cintron but neither really interest me at the moment, maybe next year they will get some serious attention.
Hell of a scrap. I think Williams is too big and busy for Cintron. Williams is truly special at 147. Punisher UD.
Dudes, I want Cintron to win so bad but I think Willaims work rate is sickening. I think Paul will avoid the big punches and takes it by UD. Tho there wont be a second I dont wish for the KO from Kermit
Gonna have to go with Cintron in the preliminary. But I will look more in depth later on. Williams has still never been down has he? Will he be able to take Cintron's power? Will Cintron be able to get in any position to generate the power to stop Williams, or will he be uncomfortable with Williams style and not be able to gain the footing to throw those power punches.
I think that if Paul Williams use his height, his reach, and his movement he will beat Cintron. If he fights like he did at the end of the Margarito fight he will get KO late by Cintron.
Williams has a fair chin, but he was bothered by Margarito's shots, as well as Sharmba's. Not 'stunned', but wary of them, Cintron is probably the hardest hitter at WW and believe me when I say that an accurate boxer-puncher is a good style match up to a non-swarming volume puncher. Williams will be timed and clipped and he will fall. Cintron TKO 5. This bout is not totally dissimiliar from Mundine-Soliman, save for stylistic differences. The light hitting volume guy with a bad defence vs. the guy with great timing and good power, only Sam Soliman puts ways more pressure and Mundine is more speed than power. But it'll be Williams attempting a volume and Cintron clipping him with bombs just like Mundine did with Soliman.
