After the first round I was thinking "This is not going to be good for Williams" and lo and behold Quintana boxed his ass off....hard win for Carlos.
Paging Zab Judah, you have a great chance to be somebody and KO Williams....that left cross of his would be the undoing of Paul Williams.
I blocked more punches than Paul Williams tonight....and I was just sitting at my house watching the fight....and no one was throwing punches at me!
God help Paul Williams if he ever set foot in the ring with Miguel Cotto
Williams is not horrible but his style isn't the best fit for his size and attributes
You finally get one of your longshots right and what, I'm supposed to be impressed? Even a broken clock is right twice a day.....
j/k good call, even though you really gave no reasoning behind it, lol.
reasoning =
margarito was overrated - williams was overrated
cotto was underrated when he fought quintana and people were still holding the same opinion they had about quintana after seeing him get KTFO by the cotto they didnt realize was the real deal yet
also this wasnt a random longshot pick
williams is SLOPPY, and WEAK, also he isnt really fast, he just puts so little into his punches they take no time to get to the target
quintana can outbox ALOT of people
this wasnt a prophetic pick, it was a realistic one, what was unrealistic was the sentiment that williams was the one who would beat mayweather with his sloppy weak style, margarito lost to williams cuz he is the slowest fuck alive and he isnt that great in general, williams was immediately given the hype that people gave to margarito
quintana had been forgotten after the cotto fight, and people mostly remembered him for that fight
and there were some insane odds somewhere that were like +675 quintana
anyway paul williams never impressed me and quintana has before
i didnt think williams odd punches could possibly outbox quintana, and i didnt figure even if he found some random power that hed be able to throw good punches top quintanas body
Sal made the call.
091
yes he did...gotta give props where props is due.
great call sal
I'm referring to the first post in which you just said Quintana would dominate PW with two smilies....thats not exactly laying it out there...I didnt see any of those points prior to my post so forgive me if I overlooked those.
Im with you though, my main issues with PW was his lack of pop, thats where the Hearns comparisons would get shot down....after the Margarito fight I was just thinking it was due to Tony's solid chin, but nope he really throws arm punches. Maybe he needs Manny Steward to work on his mechanics, he kind of wings/slaps alot. Still props on picking that big time dog.
