Paul Williams Beats Winky Wright but Yuri Foreman beats Williams

Williams was Making Kermitt Cintron look like Pernell Whitaker!!!!!

Is that why they both landed close to the same amount of punches?

Huh???? yes because Cintron landed 2 out of 76 jabs right???

Well, I guess that just makes Cintron that much bigger of a ***** then since he was doing great and then quit all of a sudden then according to your logic. Right?

I don't get why some people say Cintron was dominating that fight when Paul clearly stepped up the punches in the round Kermit jumped out of the ring.

I have become accustomed to making ridiculous predictions, like saying that Chris Byrd would get knocked out as a light-heavyweight and that Nate Campbell could beat Juan Diaz. Clearly, I'm a nutcase.

I truly believe that Paul Williams will beat Winky Wright because Winky's footwork is too slow. Winky does not fight well at range and from what I've seen of late, Williams is starting to make better use of his reach.

Wright is the kind of guy who prefers to get in close where he can chop with his punches and I don't think Williams will give him that terrain.

That said, I think Yuri Foreman is the perfect style to beat Paul Williams. He is very quick on his feet, if completely lacking in punching power. He moves in and out faster than anyone at 154, has a strong chin and a very good amateur background. I think he has the style to make Williams' long limbs work against him and befuddle him ala the first Quintana fight.

I know a lot of people will call me crazy because obviously a big name cannot lose to a lesser known fighter but just think about it for a second.

I think that's a fair assessment even after Foreman's loss to Cotto.

And Williams looked a little shaky in the fight against Cintron regardless of the weird outcome of the fight. But Williams will still land punches with the volume he throws, can Foreman take them and can he land something to keep Williams off him at least in spots? Dont know, probably not.

Foreman's movement may give Williams some trouble but you can't base it on the Cintron fight. William's corner told him that bad fight plan and Williams did it. They told him to counter punch. Once Williams got fed up of that bad plan he was hitting Cintron. More importantly, William's corner was worried about Cintron's power. That's the main reason why the fight was boring during those first 3 rounds. Foreman does not have that kind of power so you will not be seeing the same from Williams.

Like I said, I can see the movement giving Williams problems but that's it. Looking at the way Foreman went down, he may not be able to move as well as previously. I have Williams winning this one
