Tony made two big mistakes. He didn't let his hands go enough, and he stayed right in from of Williams and used his hands to pick off punches. Williams was getting credit for a lot of shots that Tony was blocking or parrying with his gloves, and the problem was made worse because he didn't throw back. Of course throwing back is harder when you block or parry instead of weave and slip. Quintana slipped and used angles, and Paul wasn't able to get off combos at a moving target. He slowed down Williams output with movement and accurate counterpunching. Quintana fought a great fight and exposed plenty of flaws in Paul's game, including his lack of real power. Tony played right into Williams strengths, and when you look closely at Tony's record, he has trouble with tall southpaws.
I would like to see Quintana expose Berto next![]()
