Paul Williams: "Fools Gold" or Bad Night at the Office? You Choose

exposed. And please gtfo of the welterweight division.

 

He lost ONE fight to slick southpaw...with good head movement..he was pushed around and bullied by little carlos.

Williams looked...weak...and weight drained..hes a champion and he has the heart of one..he'll be back beter then ever.

 

He's a lot better than he looked Saturday night, but then again, he isn't as good as he is made out to be on here.

Average fighter fighting way under his natural weight.

 

Bad night at the office IMO.

 

Bad night for Paul, I feel. I wouldn't say he's over rated, a bum, or finished. Let the guy have another few fights and then decide. Let's not forget, Paul has no amateur experience at all. I think he's done pretty darn well, considering this.

 

I started to think bad day at the office but when i rewatched the fight he looked like that because he took too many shots that he thought he could just walk through. He learned a big lesson Sat. night..... you cannot just eat punches because they dont put you down. Those where clean punches that effected his body later in the fight when he thought Qintana would wear down but instead he wore down. And Im not so sure if he could make that weight safely anymore and has no power to move up..... BIG PROBLEMS PUNISHER !!!!!!!!!

 

Weight Issues

 

He is a good fighter. Although his defensive lapses showed up in this fight which showed up in all his previous fights. Anyone with a decent boxing IQ would have been able to expose those deficiencies. Which is the reason why I picked Quintana to win.

 

i always had a feeling that the style of quintana would present serious problems for him.

but i couldnt envision him loosing though.

 

bad technique, no defense poor footwork and the list goes on and on with whats wrong with him. he needs serious work

 

I told ya'll he was overrated but I can't call him fool's gold after 1 loss.

 

If Williams is fools gold then what is Margarito? That victory wasn't an accident.

 

There were entirely too many clean punches landing on that chin of Williams to make anyone think that there wasnt serious issues with him and to doubt his "status"

 

This was Williams's first outing against a slick fighter who moves laterally. He abaondoned his insane workrate, and didnt defend his face.

As a result, he wound up getting two or three cuts over both eyes and the left side of his face, and without his constant barrage of jabs, Quintana was able to sneak around down low and set up for some big left hands across the cheek.

Williams had a poor night at the office, I think he is still a top 5 welterweight, but any thoughts of him being Mayweather's kryptonite should be utterly vanquished. His fight with quintana showed that Paul Williams still has some maturing to do, and needs some more fights under his belt before he gets to take on the top level of competition.
