I Got 2 out of 3 Wrong Tonight

[Wayne]

Williams-Cotto would be great, Williams has a very good chin but I'm not sure he could stand up to Cotto. Doubt it. But he can definitely bother Cotto just because of his size and volume. And tonight he sat down on his punches, if he has power then he is going to be tough to beat.

That would be soooo iffy. It would be difficult to imagine Williams with his long target of a body standing up to Cotto's power. But Williams is no slouch and Cotto would have to venture through a long road of pain to get past those long arms. Then again, Williams so willingly gives up his advantages.

I had the same picks. In both cases, the fighters about whom I was wrong magically conjured previously unseen great jabs. Williams did a very good Tommy Hearns impression last night. For a change he didn't give away his height, he threw his jab with authority and he sat down on his right hand. I guess he learned from his mistakes and realized he needs to stop giving away his height. Good for him, taking a loss learning from it, and using it to become a better fighter.

I suspect it would be Quint-williams 1 like only with cotto being far more dominant and brutal about his work that quintana could ever hope to be.

Williams problem with blowing away carlos last night is that the original questions about his performance in the 1st fight are all still there.


As for the guy who suggested PW should move up to 154...

why plenty of massive paydays still remaining at 147 none of which would be available at 154 now forrest has just got beat again.

Sure he probably is a natural light middleweight. But its common sense for him to stay at 147 unless he is considering the possibility of putting on a stone of weight and fighting at middleweight!!

Er... that guy would be me. Actually, I was being facetious. A six-footer like that would present problems for any of the top WW's in the world right now. He's not unbeatable, mind you... but still presents problems. But yeah... his biggest paydays ahead are in the 147 division. 154 is a wasteland.
