Carlos Quintana: "I've Recovered What I'd Lost"

[MightyMikeA]

Anyone with 2 cents worth of boxing knowledge could see that Williams was outclassed and schooled by a BOXER tonight. There was nothing Williams could do or any adjustments he was capable of making in order to avoid things like that straight left that rang his bell all night long. You don't get rocked on the head a million times like that because you're rusty, you get hit like that because the other guy noticed that he can ring you with that **** with impunity. Williams needs to go back to the drawing board and tighten up his defense and learn how to throw crisper, harder shots as well as add some hooks to his arsenal. Now that Quintana made this blue print on how to get through Williams' strengths, he will get beat everytime he faces a decent boxer.

Williams was certainly more sluggish than normal...perhaps it's the 164 lbs he's carrying...no wonder he couldn't hit Quintana. Paul lokoed like a Tyranosaurus Rex trying to box, he just couldn't reach out. His defense was absent as well. Quintana on the other hand is a sloppy looping fighter who hit Williams with those punches due to the aforementioned problems Williams has. Quintana is by no means a great fighter...good, but not great and his win last night was based on the fact that Williams had no defense. There was no outclassing, just ******ity on Williams' part for not blocking and weighing so much at fight time. If there is a rematch, I bet he won't make the same mistake again.

Williams deserves a rematch as much as Margarito deserved one after his defeat to "The Punisher" (), Williams couldn't find his rhythm then that's his problem, he had 12 rounds to do it, plenty of time.

Quintana should look to the winner of Cintron-Margarito match for his next big task.

He couldnt find his rhythm because Quintana had great movement most of the night, while Margarito just kept coming straight forward. I give Quintana a lot of credit. The angles and boxing he did was very impressive. I didnt think he'd be the one to do it, but he was.

OH Please!!!!!

Williams got beat and exposed, I hope all the BS talk about him beating Floyd stops! Williams couldn't even beat Quintana. The only reason why he didn't get KNOCKED OUT is because he came in over the Middleweight pound limit, he was able to take those tremendous shots that Quintana was landing all night!!! Boxing needs to regulate these fighters from putting on so many pounds. Williams has the body frame to carry that type of weight, however he lackes the power to fight at those weights. Quite frankly the extra weight probably was the resason why he looked as you guys say "sluggish" or "not the same". I attribute alot of why he looked the way he did to not being able to catch a determined, constant moving Boxer. Cong**** to Carlos!!! Job well done!!! let's give credit where it is do!!! By the way Williams to his credit didn't offer up and sucker excuses, so I think his fans should do the same!!!

Like I said, if Paul had thrown his usual number of punches and still lost, I would accept that he isn't what I thought. He wasn't throwing his jab nearly as sharp as it was against Tony M. Or as often. The fluidity wasn't there. The head movement and the crafty footwork weren't there. He didn't respect Quintana enough as a puncher, and it showed. I've seen Paul enough to know that he should have won this fight. Quintana can't do this again, I promise you that.

Paul williams has been susceptable to this **** in every fight, its just someone was finally smart enough to put it to use, he has NO ANSWER for the left hand, of course he wasnt as sharp as he was against margarito, because margaritos handspeed is slower than mine, and his punches are wider than rosie odonnell, williams lost, no questions about it.

Rematch is necessary. Williams didn't have the juice in his hands to guide those combinations tonight for whatever reason. He looked rusty to me. It's been 7 months since the Marg fight. He should have taken something small, even, just to get some work in, in November. This was not the Paul Williams I've seen before. If he would have thrown 1000 punches and still produced the same outcome, I'd accept that he isn't what I thought he was, but that wasn't the case. Something was wrong with him tonight. He wasn't all there. The fluidity he displayed in the past was absent. Again, I blame his camp for keeping him in a freezer for 7 months. He should have parlayed his victory by staying active and getting his name out there. Now he's stuck without a zero, and the casual fan still doesn't know who the **** he is. That said, I think he beats Quintana in a rematch. Paul didn't get punished. That's contrived bull****. He was more willing to keep fighting after 12 rounds than Quintana. Paul was the one trying to trade shots in the late rounds. He just didn't land enough. Or throw enough. Quintana fought great, but he fought over his head against a rusty Paul Williams. He won't do it again.

Is this guy PW's lawyer??? How many excuses are posted here?

1) He was rusty. (His fault)
2) Inactivity (Managing Fault)
3) Not the same PW (bull****, Quintana outboxed him southpaw to southppaw)
4) IF's... (that doesn't count, too late.)
5) Wasn't there??? (I don't know about you but I saw PW take a beating last night.)
6) Fluidity. (It was there but hitting thin air)
7) The Camp. (finally we agree on something)
8) Paul not getting punished? (So what happened to his face???)
9) Will to fight more than 12 rounds (It doesn't matter, too bad)
10) Not landing nor throwing. (more like NOT LANDING, period)


Reality is that the minute PW Camp tried to hurry Kermit Cintron for a fight, I suspected there was something wrong. Why would they insist on a fight ASAP??? I thought it was to take advantage of his injury, but then again, inactivity hurts too. When Kermit was humiliated by Tony, he need a change, Emmanuel was that change. PW needs to do the same. His Camp understimated Quintana, and let him take too much weight overnight. Not to mention that southpaw vs. southpaw gave PW some technical problems. (BTW, Kermit has not fighted agaisnt a southpaw... he will have problems too) PW lost due to his managing camp, period. I believe he will rock the boxing world later in his career. He must stay cool and focus, that's it.

best one

8) Paul not getting punished? (So what happened to his face???)

the Puni****

Williams got outboxed and had no answer for the ledt that continuously tagged him. He needs to tighten up that D and sit down on them punches. I think the angles Carlos gave him never gave him much of a chance to sit down, set up, and swing on him. Great performance by Carlos.

What a lil crybaby you are. Paul Willaims got OUTCLASSED by a puncher/boxer. He needs learn how to punch and not SLAPPer.. Paul "The Slapper" Williams. **** the Punisher he doesn't punish anyboody not even someone who got destroyed in under 5 rounds by a real WW not a super MiddleWeight. And he wont be back that was prob the last time we will see him at 147 and even if we did see him again he's be exposed, No power and can't adjust to a smart fighter which quintana is.

The Slapper lost to the better overall boxer/fighter. Cotto would break his ribs all night, mayweather would pot-shot him all night, cintron would rib his head of with right hands, Clottey would out box him, Mosley would decision him, and Collazo would do the same. He back in the bottom 10.

The Slapper
