This one caught me by suprise as a made match.I really thought Williams would be going up after Quintana rematch...win,loose,or draw but not to full middle.I realize the sparcity and depth at Jr.Middle right now but Williams could do extremely well there as a jump off point.Winky stays at Middle, I'm hard pressed to think of a Huge threat for Williams at 154 lbs....I just dislike Division jumping but you go where the Dollars make sense.

Call me off but With Williams/Pavlik,I keep thinking Williams/Margarito.... NO,I am not saying Williams can undo Pavlik but Pavlik is also all rangy,aggresive & and unloads bricks aplenty....very hard to discourage also.I think williams will need to be very mobile and box a perfect fight if he has any hope of taking this one.If Williams stands in front,Smothers is own range and does that bend over with leaky Defense style and open fist punching,He will get wrecked.I just do not see Him dealing with Pavliks own jab and Power and I think Williams will get stopped convincingly.
