Martirosyan vs Williams who do you got? I think Sulecki is going to fight Jacobs so that fight may be off the table. Martirosyan did way better against Ishe than Williams but who knows.
I'm a huge fan of J-Rock's, I hyped the hell out of him, but he's regressed a lot in he last few years, sadly, and now everyone know his chin isn't as sturdy as many may have thought it was, well Vanes' is, so I could see him walking Julian down, and scoring a late TKO like Willie says. Hell, Ishe Smith hurt him, I think J-Rock may be packing pure China.
I believe Vanes will beat Williams pretty easily, its a shame all the top fighters at 154 are with Al Haymon so he might not get a shot.
Vanes is highly underrated, but only because hes not exceptional at any of the eye catching attributes. He's average/above average at everything, but he wins on volume, engine, and his straight punches. I'm not high on Williams, but his size and power, could really keep Vanes off the gas. Good crossroads fight for sure. Winner gets back to a title opportunity, loser becomes a gatekeeper type.
Williams got great skill no doubt, but I believe Vanes is the much tougher fighter, look how much Vanes looked next to Willie Nelson.
