I had to work last nite and havent watched the fight yet..My brother gave me somewhat of a breakdown and said Williams wasnt his usual self and that Quintana had him pretty good with the left all nite...I was pretty shocked when told Williams was beaten...
This is really annoying. Why is it that if someone thinks a certain fighter might win a fight he becomes "your boy"? It's stupid.
i've always rated quintana. tipped him to beat cotto. :yep he's an excellent boxer. well surprised at this though. didn't expect him to dethrone williams. different fights different nights. :deal
carlos boxed well but there seemed something wrong with paul. he looked either drained or had the flu/.he still could of got the decision but it happens to the best of boxers. it will probably open up more oppurtuniyies for him
if you ask me mayweathers record should have 2 next to his wins as i thought oscar and castillo beat him. cotto has also been rather lucky is well. ricardo torres nearly knocked him out and mosley pushed him close
Expect him to move up to Light Middle. So if williams was the only threat to Floyds 0! what the hell can people say now!
The plain thruth was simple, Paul alluded to the fact that he was off his game on the fight, the reason was simple Quintana's ability to neutralize anything that PW could do, his jab, his punshing output, he keep him off balance the entire night and with all hionesty, PW keep bozsing, but he was mentally defeated by the 10th in this fight, giving credit for winning the n12th round thou
I love in boxing how things "take care of themselves". Now the Floyd haters will no longer bellow out how Floyd is avoiding really dangerous guys like Williams. Utter yawn.. Quintana was right in his interview about being able to knock him out early. Had he pumped his jab more and mixed up those overhand lefts more, Wiliams would have been done. So heres what Williams is. A volume puncher that can't adapt and once you take away his one trick pony (volume punching) away or god forbid he has to fight backwards, he becomes very EASY to hit and he has poor defense. That overhand left of Carlos was coming and its amazing Paul couldn't pick it off.
I agreed with Quintana about KO PW, he had the chances but he didn;t want to spend himself or getting caught with a silly punch, that shows incredible discipline and maturity for Quintana and his camp!!!
this fight looked almost like Tito-Hopkins with Tito being Williams and Hopkins being Quintana although not on the high level that Tito-Hopkins brought to the table
I pick Quintana and wrote the plan on how he was going to beat PW, back when the original thread of the fioght got started and all the ESB's flock to PW...showing once againstaht ESB is nothing more than a a lynching mob....:rofl No...really Quintana boxing skills remided me of El Radar at his best when he defeated Kid Pambele....he was masterful!!!:good
Paul Williams was overated. Quintana showed that he is the better fighter. He was much to skilled and too experienced for Williams. Furthermore, Williams fought a very stupid fight --- one dimensional --- trying to walk Quintana down using his own face as his best weapon. Williams was billed as the "Most Feared" going into this fight based on his very close win over Margo who started too slow that nite. Most of William's previous fights have been against fighters with losing records or "Tomato Cans." Yet many, including persons who regularly comment on this form bought in to Paul Williams being the "Baddest." Quintana wasnt suppose to go 5 rounds. Shocking Surprise ??????
