    It wasn't that hard to hurt Williams, when you got to his chin. I dont see Walcott hurting the moving target. He is not gonna outbox Williams and therefore lose decision.

    Close fight, both had bad chins so this could go either way, I'll give a slight edge to Carl williams though.

    I actually see the cagey Walcott dropping a surprised Williams in the middle rounds , Carl never recover s and goes on to lose by split decision.

    Fergy pretty much beat me to it but I see the outcome as being inside the distance. I see JJW luring The Truth onto decent counter left-hooks and dropping him probably more than once; the amount of times depending on how many times The Truth can recover/is allowed to recover by JJW.

    Walcott's chin might have been better IMO

    The wild card is that Walcott was a great counter puncher and knew how to set traps. Williams some times made mistakes like leaving his right hand low which made him vulnerable to left hooks which Walcott could possibly exploit.
