The Boogie Man Will be Permanetly Erased After Saturday Night

[Hulk]

Williams was saying that hes coming to fight to give the fans action...that could be to throw off Margarito. I dont think he should try to trade with Tony, if he can move alot and keep his jab working its gonna be hard for Tony to get in his range and when he does Williams can time him. I havent seen Williams fight like that tho, he usually just goes at em to-to-toe...weird.He needs Emmanuel Steward to train him...it would be like Hearns part 2.

Except without the ONE PUNCH KO power, and Williams is a southpaw. We'll see if he's got the Hearns desire come Saturday or the Hearns chin.

I'm nervous And I made a SIg with VD,although there are some specific alterations for my man:

As for the SIG bet,if I win,I'd like you to have some thing like ElGamo was ,Margarito is the real deal,the boogeyman. Tony is top 2 at WW and El Gamo is P4P best poster! (obviously we can shorten it)

You can have the opposite:ie JT was right,Margarito is a an over rated bum and El Gamo was stupid fr defending him. JT=P4P best poster.

Sounds great dude, I look forward to the matchup tonite myself, if Margarito wins I already planned on giving him his own Congrats and praise thread Kinda like what I did for Pavlik after he sawed my man Miranda down... I never mind giving a fighter his respect if I'm not a fan and I assesed him wrong

[El Gamo]

CC for being a good sport JT. I'll probably do the same if PW wins,and like I said before,I love his style,it's like Margarito's but this is one night I won't appreciate it. If Margarito does win though,it would finally cement everything I've been saying about him since I became a fan.

Paul Williams is a big fish in a bigger pond and is going to meet the biggest fish. I still don't think he's ready for Margarito, he gets hit too much. Not saying Margarito doesn't, but we know Margarito can take it, can Williams?

Great comment Majesty, sums it all up real short... We all know Williams is an incredible, unique punching machine and he will land punches since Joshua Clottey did before he broke his hand, Williams definitely will make this an extremely tough challenge just for that reason - what he can deliver. Young Lions like Cintron, Kyvelos, Lewis and even Sebastian Lujan, whose left ear was quite literally peeling away from the side of his head after 10 rounds, looked at Tony and saw nothing special - he's not fast, he's no powerpuncher, his technique is far from flawless and you can reach him so they took the fight and the next thing we know, they had te Look - these guys fall apart because they land their best shot and Tony keeps comin, he doesn't buckle, he doesn't back off, he comes in and lands two twisting body shots, makin sure that he bursts em where it hurts the most sliding the glove, arm and elbow in there, they start thinkin twice about punching again, because they know something's coming back at them, they start hitting and tryin to get away at the same time, which is a hell of a predicament for a puncher to find himself in. The only thing between Tony Margarito meeting Miguel Cotto is Time, one sunset away from Tony uncovering Paul Williams BLUFF!

Paul Williams is gonna show everyone that he belongs at the 147 Elite when its all said and done Saturday Night.

I predict its Gonna be Margarito Vs Citron all over again, but with Williams playing the role of Margarito and Margarito playing Citron.....

Williams is ridiculously big, very athletic, fast, throws straight crisp shots down the middle and has superb punch selection in which he works his combos very well and fills the gaps as good as anyone in the game.. The guy has a ridiculous work rate and for having the wing span of a dragon, is extremely effective on the inside. Although he dosent have concussive power he is strong enough to hurt you...

Margarito is big, strong, tough, has a great workrate to go along with a boatload of experience... But on the other side of the token he is very slow, awkward at times and plodding. He loops his punches to much and that is dangerous against a guy who is bigger, faster, straighter with his punches more athletic, and can fight you at any range...

I think it will come down to chins and defense. Margarito has yet to show a weak beard although has a poor defense, on the other hand Williams looked stunned by Mitchell and defense isint exactly a priority as well with him..

I just feel Paul will beat him to the punch throwing straight crisp clean power shots ala Kelly Pavlik, and will break Margarito down to a TKO by round 9

thought you meant boogie man from westling then....got a bit upset.

Margaritos experience will pan out big time here.
He was able to fight through an injury against Clottey (where oddly enough Clottey was injured too)
Margarito knows that wining this fight can lead to Cotto.
I think Clotteys a bigger threat then Williams, Clottey was beating early on but Margarito was getting his shots in also. I think Williams biggest issues are 2 things, 1) His chin both Sharmba & Mathysse were able to rock/wobble/move/shake whatever you wanna call it they both got to Williams I think Margaritos power will do more then just rock him. and 2) IMO he appears to tire/get fatigued to the point where his punches start to look like slaps, I've seen this as early as the 3rd round (vs. Pakau) he tends to bend at the elbow and slap the punch instead of extend and snap the punch for the entire round he looses his focus on his strength which is his southpaw stance. If Maragarito can catch onto this and take adavantage of this I think Margaritos got the experience to score some big points.
Williams HAS to maintain a firm grip on his southpaw stance and punch he has to stay busy with Margarito.
Protect his body, he's very tall and someone that tall you attack their body early on look for Margarito to try and get some bosy shots early on so that in the later rounds he try and check the chin. Also Williams needs to do the same attack Margaritos body early on so that he can slow him down so that in the later rounds where Margarito tends to do his best work he isn't as effective.

Excellent observation.

Hey i want Williams to win, but i have the fight in my opinion 30-70 in favor of Margarito by late tko (because of his punch output, conditioning, his sturdy chin and experience).


Kermit i think will get blasted out.

This fight will not be aired on my area, i am looking forward to the WDRBR. Thanks.

Williams is Crazy overrated... this guy people see him and think of herns... but williams doesn't deserve to lace herns gloves up... he is DECENT at best at WW now and he comes ot the ring with a major reach advatange...

Williams don't belond with the elites at WW, and once that has been shown he will try and move up and get drownd out there.. 2 years time people will look back at this guy and think 'why did i ever rate him'
