Prospects From 06-07

[amat]

The main guy I thought was destined for big things was Aaron Williams who was knocked out last year by Jose Luis Herrera in a fight he Wiwas dominating until he got sloppy then got caught. Then he went to Germany and was a victim of circumstance. He had a shakey first couple rounds against Cuban Yoan Pablo Hernandez but then boxed really well side to side, he got caught in the 7th but rebounded nicely boxing in the 8th. Had the fight gone 10 rounds it probably would have been a clearcut victory for Williams in most people's eyes except the judges. The scorecards were attroscious, 8-0 on one card and the others weren't great either. I personally felt the fight was a draw and I could see how it could have been 5-3 Hernandez though I felt it a lot easier to score it for Williams. Disappointing, hopefully that doesn't send him in a tailspin because he still has that talent, his confidence didn't seem all there in the first few rounds and that's never a good sign. Also I see in my original assessment I thought of him to be a sharpshooter, maybe that's the case in the first few rounds of fights but it's pretty clear he's not the pinpoint puncher I thought he once was.

Ray Bautista has got to be one of the most disappointing prospects from 2006 or so. I never thought he was anything special but i thought he would achieve more.

The loss to Daniel Ponce De Leon was understandable, because he was still young and maybe the occasion got to him. But losing to a journeyman one sidedly in his last fight was unforgivable, and he's totally shot now.

What about Joel Julio aswell ? i remember him being totally hyped up and look where he is now nowhere.

Linares, Kirkland and JuanMa all turned out all right, well except for the Kirkland felony.

Paschal turned out better than I thought he would.

I'm not quite sold out on Bernabe Concepcion yet. But we'll see after he fights Luevano this year.

Word!!....{does anyone still say that?}

Anyways, does Jason Litzau count for a place on this thread? Does h get epic FAIL or what?

And what's up with that Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillen kat?

Julio still gave a competitive fight to Kirkland, that defeat was not that long ago, I think he'll bounce back and that a fight will be announced in one or two months, just to give him enough time to recover mentally.
