    before the first williams/quintana fight no one gave quintana a chance at all, and after carlos won a great fight, everyone wrote off paul as some overhyped trash fighter. Hardly anyone gave paul a chance in the rematch (I predicted a paul win in the rematch, and a carlos win in the first one), everyone said look he is coming in at 145 he shouldnt be in the welters, he is going to be weight drained, and now look what happened. I guess my point is, you people need to learn to not write off fighters who have skill even if they lose a match here and there. that is all.

    PW was a solid favourite at the bookies. It wasn't like everyone at ESB picked against Williams too.

    Exactly Williams was still the favorite. I think moreso than the first fight.

    I had picked Williams to beat Quintana, but I just didn't expect him to knock him out in the 1st round.. Looks like Quintana got nailed and just couldn't recover quick enough with Williams pressuring him..

    Alot of people did call Williams an over hyped fighter in this forum, even after he beat Margo. There is clearly no hype.
