    How do you see this fight going @ 154? Both guys were offensive minded pressure fighters with a fan-friendly style who never lived up to their hype. Williams was more of a fast swarmer who threw hundreds of punches while Ayala was a hard hitting slugger with a mean streak.

    I doubt this gets much traction. I fancy Williams to outwork him and tie him up inside, even outwork him inside. Ayala is loads of fun to watch but I think Williams has all the physical advantages

    Man Williams a special talent.

    He struggled with counter punching southpaws but he was awesome.

    I'd go with Tall Paul because he was more proven, but I'm not 100% confident. Williams was a defensive liability, and Ayala had booming power. It's possible Williams gets caught too much in this one, but he should be favored by virtue of being the more proven/known commodity.
