    10 years! That’s scary. I remember waking up to the news in my hotel room on eastside boxing back when I first started the job that I’m currently doing. Was anticipating an upset against canelo.

    Nah, maybe on paper but in actual practice no. Ask pretty much anyone that has fought or sparred a lefty. It's a whole different look, with lots of trickle-down effect. There's a reason commentators and oddsmakers list it among disadvantages if somebody has thin experience facing them, or fared poorly against them in the past. All other things being equal, between an Orthodox and southpaw fighter you generally give the latter an edge just because they are more outside the norm of what the opponent sees in the gym.

    Williams is better than margo. Williams would outwork pac to a win. Williams beat a loaded gloved margo as well pac didn't and he beat one who had just been destroyed by Mosely.

    Williams defense is too poor to not lose to Pacquiao. I would bet on Pacquiao. I'm not sure Margarito's gloves were loaded vs Williams.
