I've shifted dramatically on this one.

Coming off the Sharmba victory, it was Paul Williams all the way But now I've watched the Mattysse (however the hell you spell his name, dude looks funny anyways) fight for like the 10th time, and on the 10th time it sunk in that Paul could be in for trouble. Why in the hell does he hold his hands so damn low? It doesn't make sense, and sometimes he reacts to a punch by picking his hands up, and he just isn't fast enough. He slipped OK I guess. But had it been Margarito that night, any form of Margarito, Paul would have been in over his head.

But still, I like Williams to slip most of Margarito's long straight punches. It's those sneaky, rangy uppercuts that worry me. That left lead uppercut is Margarito's most underrated punch and I foresee it being a factor.

And Paul needs to work on countering to push the pace. As busy as he is, he still waits to long in lulls of action to get going. He tends to stare at you while you do nothing, then go to work like 5 seconds later. Against Margarito, that 5 seconds of inactivity will be 2 seconds. And I think we all agree the one who pushes the pace better wins the fight. Well, Paul better act quickly.

GO WILLIAMS A "Punishing" UD
