I've seen a lot of people say that last night proved the Williams fight to be a fluke but I just have to disagree. As degraded as people's opinion of Williams has become, I still think he has the tools to beat Margarito yet again, in fact I thought he had more room to improve in their bout.

I just think that Margarito is best with an opponent willing to fight and come to him. Williams was on his horse the entire not, never set his feet and gave Margarito a target to hit until later on in the fight which is when Margarito had his success. Kermit Cintron stood right in front of Margarito all 10 or so rounds they have fought over the course of their two meetings. Williams doesn't do that and it's not like we didn't already know Margarito could walk through punches it's a matter of getting off punches on his own, don't see how last night changes that.
Williams held the entire fight excessively and was never warned and was lucky their was not another round as he was totally gassed at the end. Had Margarito started earlier he would have finished Williams. Plu s,Williams shear size will not be shocking the 2nd time around
