Kirkland is too hesitant and pauses after he gets hit. That is a terrible, terrible, fatal flaw against a guy who is not scared to keep hitting you.
Paul by ud. Kirkland would only have a shot within the first five rounds. Kirkland has zero defense and would be chasing Williams all around the ring while eating damn near every bit of a hundred punches every round. After four or five rounds Kirkland will lose steam and his punches will be less crisp and his punchers chance would be gone.
Paul Williams looked shook as **** to take any chances against the Olympic Diver Kermit Cintron, I have a feeling he would be shook to take any chances against a superior fighter in Kirkland.
