Thoughts on Paul Williams's performance vs Ishida

If his chin was broken then he would've been ko'd against Lara and Ishida but yet he wasn't even close to bein dropped against either. His chin is still one of the best in the game and his defense is still one of the worst.

 

decent comeback fight for Williams.

 

At 154?

Cotto, Martinez again, Kirkland, and maybe even Canelo. Canelo-Williams would be a great 50-50 fight and a huge test for Alvarez.

Williams looked very decent in this last fight, but just not enough IMO to beat the top fighters of the division right now.

 

Besides Martinez I'm not too sure who has a great shot to beat him. TBH he's brave(or stupid, or both) for using the same style but he did dominate Ishida but I fear the next counterpuncher he faces with a little more pop than Lara will be his undoing. He did shutout Ishida and should remain at 154. He is maybe a bit past prime but still a credible win for anyone. Still would love to see him face Floyd but even Paul accepted that ain't happening. Once Canelo grows a pair it will be great to see him face Paul.

 

pwill's ability to block punches w/ his face is unmatched.

 

I think williams has the chance of beating kirkland and canelo. high work rate and decent enough pop. he can honestly knock kirkland out. he has proven power and kirkland's chin is what some people would call glass. in that fight, it's nothing less than a war, a pure war. williams vs. canelo is a really good test for canelo but one I lean toward canelo winning, with serious rough spots. I mean, neither canelo or kirkland can outbox williams en route to knocking him out like martinez has proven he can do, or simply outbox him like quintana and lara did, neither are they slick enough to strictly lure him into a knockout punch. they would both go about it in a workman like way, and williams has never succumbed to a knockout in that fashion.

 

Good solid win for Pwill, still a major force.

 

it was a good win for Paul.... Knocked some rust off and got some confidence. I thought he'd win but wasn't sure how he'd look. I thought he looked pretty good all things considered but he needs another fight like this last one.... One he will win, but be pushed...

Kirkland anyone? I have Paul taking the W. I'll be the minority but Paul is James's nightmare.

 

PW beat the **** out of Ishida. WTF else do you want from the guy? Know'msayin'?

 

You could tell that he made a concious effort to improve but then again that could have been due to the fact that Ishida was as tall as him and he didnt have to bend over that much. He was still leading with his head, telegraphing his punches and throwing that uppercut from too far out. I really like P Willie cause he's for real about his **** but he needs to really get serious about them flaws or he is gonna get knocked out again. Way back when he fought Verno Phillips you could tell that he would have trouble in later fights. I know he dosnt have to fight that way because he didnt do it against Winkie or Margarito. He just gets lazy in the exicution of his total fight game and that wont do fighting top flight fighters.:bbb:bbb

 

he has been proven to be open for crazy shots... as well as give them... he is not a fighter he was was. Period. I can only hope everything is going to become the fight he wants was

 

oh yeah es be from android microphone bitches...
