Is anybody else smelling the upset here?
I'm kind of getting a similar feeling to a few years ago when we had those short title reigns at 147 - besides Cotto, nobody fills me with any confidence.
Six Heads
Forrest
Mayorga
Spinks
Nobody ruled for very long.
That plus I'm not really sold on Williams just yet. Of course, I'll be probably on here tomorrow deleting this after Williams wins by first round KO...:stonedsmilie:
you can never know that why they fight the fight but it would be a long shot tomorrow lol
dont think quintana can get the upset.
Ill go with PW ud or tko in the late rounds
I'm thinking the same thing. I think Williams might be looking past QuintanaQuote:

Quintana is a strange choice of opponent really.
I dont know if Quintana is the one but Ive said since Ive been here....Imo,Williams Is an upset Ko waiting to happen.He has all the traits and seemingly physical attributes but seems to fight all wrong with it.In between his multi punch arsenal which Is not as as devistating as It could be Imo,He can be hit,quite a bit.
Im was hoping thay would show the Arreola Fight but then saw He was fighting Cliff Couser :p Another pinch of padding that does not help build him.
I think quitana has a greater chance than people realise.
I really think this fight will not be as easy for Williams as many people may think. I was seeing the fight between Quintana and Cotto even after the first four rounds, until the fifth when Cotto could catch Quintana with a solid punch to the body. I believe the fight will be tough for both of them, and should be a very interesting match.
I am ringside right now, Arreola won by 1st round KO.Quote:

Were going to learn alot about Berto Here. Have a pinch of rep
I think Wacko Has been kidknapped. Really miss the RBR he put on.Felt like an event within an event :confused: Wow, Trabant has the whole Late 80's hairdo going.

The crowd was yelling "bite him Tyson."
Luke skywalker gets mugged.Solid offensive arsenal by Berto.all in all though pretty stationary but very fast and accurate

So, the upshot is that Margarito, Williams and Cintron are pretenders and Cotto is the only guy with a snowball's chance in hell of beating Floyd at 147.
Damned good call. Paul is a damned good fighter! He became my favorite over the past two and a half years! He just didn't bring his speed!!! He totally deserved that loss. He remains my favorite, but he has got to get rid of the N'itis and bring his mother F'in game next time! Quintana deserves the win...if he's smart, he'll avoid the real come'ers that want to score an easy belt. Paul...if you're listening...pull your head out, fire your crappy trainers and hire a new F'in cut man! You lost your respect for the game...go get that s&$ back!!!!Quote:

Complacency is the worst opponent a fighter will ever face. At one time, when a fighter won a belt, it was said that he became 25% better just for winning it. It instilled confidence and drive in them and helped them reach greater heights.
Now when many win one, they sit around and just look for more green, allow distractions to get a hold of them and lose sight of what got them there. It is not the trainers, the trainers do the same job they did the last fight. It is the fighters that lose focus of the long term and treat the sport as a get rich quick scheme instead of looking at it as a career.

Maybe it's the age we live in - reality TV, win a million dollars, book deal, film deal...
So many people just don't want to have to work for a living.
I know - I'm one of them:stonedsmilie:
Well nobody likes getting up for work!hehe The drive comes down to responsibility and family. I agree 100% though. Most fighters want that big megafight to become mega rich, they sit on their asses and tell everyone that this person and that person are all avoiding them. They gain nothing in experience and are left vulnerable when they sit idle.Quote:
