BTW...happy B-Day to Verno Phillips,hell of a way to celabrate it.

You gotta credit Arreola for his smarts.
He got tagged he knew it and he knew what to do.
He took a knee protected himself at all times and waited in the count until he felt he was ready.

You rarely see that today from the vets, nonetheless from an up and comer. It was a nice little battle and now more then before I would like to see him fight Haye.

You know.I was thinking that rewatching it a couple.Some people take that as a sign of concession or negative. But...he did show a little something there.I still think he has a very rocky road ahead with stamina & defense questions but also that you find out the MOST about a guy when he has to climb off the deck and pulls it out.Came back brutally he did.

So, as the interim WBO belt holder, Williams is the mandatory for Drzindziruk. Anybody ever seen this guy fight? I know he won a fairly wide decision over Joel Julio a few weeks ago and has an impressive record of 36-0. Would he have much of a shot against Williams? Dan Rafael's scorecard seemed to indicate that the Goosen camp would probably at least look into the fight since the big names at 147 have other plans.

The most dangerous thing about williams aside from the common advantages he has is that this guy is getting a ton of different experience in the ring that making him a more dangerous fighter after each fight. The guy has fought little guys, big guys, fast guys, slow guys, he KO'ed a full time middleweight, fended off margarito, and most important has gone through what it feels like to loose, this guy is pretty bad ass he pity pats some fights, sits on his punches in others, it was pretty impressive that even with a cut and against a smaller guy he still was patient and went to the body...the man is gaining a wealth of in ring actual fight experience not just in the gym.

More importantly than that he should now be the number 2 ring rated fighter at 154. A fight with Forrest would be for the currently vacant Ring title.

Rafael mentioned in one of his chats recently that that fight was unlikely to happen because Williams and Forrest both have the same manager (Al Haymon). It would make a lot of sense, though, so hopefully they can figure out some way around that.
