    Do people forget about Williams having to adjust to a Southpaw fighter?

    After training for a conventional one? This was what happened with Quintana. Now I'm trying my best not to be biased, but these people calling Williams garbage or an overrated boxer are out of their minds. Here we've got an exciting fighter who's willing to take on all comers while that Arum hype job Pavlik is sitting on his belts fighting bums. And Pavlik would've gotten beat by both guys tonight.

    I was talkin about that earlier.. Lefties might be his weakness. I've heard that left handed fighters hate fighting other lefties, guess it bothers him more.

      quintana was his sparring partner genius ... 6 weeks shoulda been more then enuf time and people were claiming that pwill is a top 10 p4p, if that was true he shoulda been a class above sergio tbh ... no excuses he is good imo but not the second coming like so many thought

          Stop making excuses. He just can't beat talented boxers that move and give him angles. His skills are not elite he is just a freak of nature so unlles he fights a guy who stands in front of him all his fights will look like Quintana 1 and Martinez.

            and Martinez had to adjust to fighting the P4P most avoided high workrate fighter with a granite chin and KO power and do it at 160

            Yet he seemed to adapt rather well.

              Williams goes from training for a orthadox to a southpaw isn't a excuse because martinez goes from not fightin anyone at all to fightin the most feared guy in the sport...both men put great performences.

                That's excatly why the rematch with Martinez will look just like the rematch with Quintana. Once he gets a full camp to work on Martinez's tendencies, he'll destroy him.

                  doesn't matter 119-110 means martinez lost the fight before he even got in the ring.

                  this fight is tainted and pwill gets no credit for the win.
