Did we overestimated Williams or Underestimated Quintana. Question on odds making.

[The Rookie Fan]

Hey guys, thanks for your posts.

For my part I don't think I overrated Williams and I still think he can beat most of the welterweights. But I certanly underrated Quintana.

I knew he was a good boxer and I saw his performance against Joel Julio and was impressed. But I didn't put that much stock in it cause Joel Julio is still not that great of a fighter. Also what I saw in the Cotto fight made me question Quintana's will to win. Not to mention a beat down like that can really ruin a fighter.

I knew Quintana would make it a tougher fight than most predicted but I figured Williams would take it on work rate alone and towards the end Quintana would get discurraged. Actually I still felt that was going to happend around the 5th and 6th round when Quintana looked to be gassing out.

All propps to the man for regaining control and finishing strong.

I think Williams underrated quintana, and overestimated himself after his Margarito win. He viewed Quintana as the only guy WILLING to fight him, rather than the toughest opponent he could face.

i dont understand how quintana was like +675, but maybe he was obscure to most people, and maybe he made julio look so bad that people thought julio was nothing

I'd now have him as an underdog against just about any of the top 10, honestly. Floyd, Cotto, Quintana, Margarito if they fought again even, Collazo, Clottey, Cintron, Mosley, even Judah. I think they are all more than capable of beating Williams, especially now that they saw what Carlos did to him.

I think abit of both. I definately believe that Williams camp thought this was a dead cert win for there man and they underestimated a highly motivated fighter in Quintana.
