Paul Williams, Andre Berto Doubleheader For 2/9

[No1]

I see a ton of flaws in Berto's style. He's very stationary, doesn't move his head, doesn't take a punch well and doesn't deal with craft that well. Don't get me wrong, Berto is ver good but he still doesn't have the experience to deal with some of these more polished fighters.

If Forbes was just a little bigger, I'd pick him. A guy with movement will give Berto trouble because he has to pick up his feet. I'd give the edge to Berto because Berto is young and aggressive. But no one has ever blasted Forbes out and I don't think it'll happen in this fight.

Alot of people thought D-Hop and Bojado would be too much for Forbes, also.

I see where your coming from abou his static footwork and poor defence, but he's a great talent without a doubt. If only he became more mobile and crafted a defence, he would be outstanding.
also d-hop and bojado arnt near the standard of berto, or as strong or as fast and cant hit no where near as hard, in fact come to think of it they arnt a patch on berto.

Quintanna is an easy win for Williams, why ain't his loud mouth asking for a rematch with Margarito?

why would a guy who won the fight ask for the rematch? dumbass. besides what you bitching about, ho? margarito is rumored to fight judah and cotto in a row. you should worry about williams if tony wins both of those fights. williams would love to have a rematch with tony under those circumstances. And Guess What? williams will take another belt away from margarito in that scenario, but Cotto is going to beat margarito so thats that.

Why would Williams want a rematch with Margarito? It's Margarito who needs Williams. Margarito by all accounts doesn't seem interested in fighting Williams again.

I think Berto's "Got It"! I saw him come in over-confident against C. Rivera and it almost cost him his undefeated record, & then came in the next fight against D. Estrada & pitched a shut out until he finished him. The HBO commentating crew said his Weakness in the amateurs was his chin (in head gear...damn!) I can see why people say he might get "exposed" against better oppostion, (under the impression that his lack of D and "shaky" chin will cost him dearly) but the one thing that stuck out about him the first time i saw him was him Temperament! He's very calm and composed and has good/solid technique for such a young fighter, & I see constant improvement in his technique everytime out..I think if he stay's focused & hungry he will be a WORLD CHAMP very soon

After all of the back and forth negotiations over money, the fight is finally set. Paul Williams (33-0, 24 KOs) will defend his WBO welterweight title against Carlos Quintana (24-1, 19 KOs) on Feb. 9, with udefeated welterweight prospect Andre Berto in the co-feature. HBO has moved Williams' bout from Feb. 2 to Feb. 9, the date originally reserved for the Juan Diaz-Michael Katsidis lightweight bout that fell apart last week. [details]

Great news! Can't wait.

This Guy!

Margarito WHO! Oh,"most feared man in boxing"MY ASS! U still ridin high off dat Johnson victory? Look, he might be ur man but he's not a contender, technique is sloppy, power is suspect for a big ww, but he can take a punch! So if the belts were for who could take the best punch, u could throw his hat in there, BUT it aint! SO no more Margarito, he is just a big slow ww dat Arum manifested to try and take out Mayweather. When he fought a young feather fisted contender wat was the results. He LOST, 0 draw, not even a close decision. Until he beats a creditable ww, one shouldnt mention the guy among the Elites, No the list does not consist of Cintron either for obvious reasons outside his hand injury and overrated trainer.

williams knows in his heart he was lucky to beat margarito. tony took a few rounds to feel out williams style then in the late rounds he figured him out and gave him a taste of true mexican power. he knows in the rematch he would get knocked out. i still feel margarito was robbed of the decision. he landed all of the clean punches in the fight and hurt wililams many times.
