    Yeah that is what Williams is known for is losing bad decisions. He has been saved twice by corrupt judging. The Ginger will crush him.

    Sure

    Canelo keeps the out put low

    even in the fights where Williams gets pounded he is always throwing and his chin is hard

    Williams will push Canelo, if Canelo can win with easy or stop Williams its a huge deal

    Williams definitely has what it takes to outwork Alvarez. He's took big shots from Lara and kept coming all night, don't think Alvarez is stopping him. I think Williams is bad against southpaws and will give Alvarez all he can handle, if not get the upset.

    All the people who say Paul has no shot are saying

    A) He has no chin
    B) He is shot
    C) Canelo's bodywork will slow down Paul

    None of them are actually taking any real facts into account. Against Lara, his chin isn't what failed him. It was his difficulty against southpaw slick counter-punchers. Canelo doesn't have that style. None of them are even considering the reality that Paul will be the one testing Canelo's endurance once the fight moves into the latter rounds. None of them are considering the scenario that once Canelo (who already has a low output) is forced to fight every second of every early round, he will be left with very little in the tank himself to "wear down" anyone with the chin that Paul has at that weight.


    If anyone actually sticks to the facts, they will realize this fight is far from over.

    He still has a helluva beard. I mean martinez is knockin out legit middle weights paul is 154 lber because of height that probably can still fight at 147 I think hell take canelos bombs rather well and out work him rather easily canelo will land the harder shot p dub will land more simple as that

    Williams in his prime is cryptonite to Alvarez's style.... I still think he has enough in his tank to outhustle Alvarez. Don't write Williams off for 2 poor performances vs slick southpaws, Alvarez is neither slick nor a southpaw and Williams is undefeated and always impressive vs orthodox fighters. If Williams still has punch resistance he wins this unless they rob him.

    This is the kind of fight that can expose Alvarez as inexperienced or elevate him to elite status. This is a very dangerous fight for Alvarez.

    This is a 50/50 fight as far as I'm concerned. Canelo counters well, but usually it's at the crest of when the opponent stops his onslaught. He'll be looking for spots with Williams which don't exist and could easily fall behind on the cards. But Canelo does have authoritative power, it might save him.
