Paul Williams gets schooled and KTFO by Dmitry Pirog

[Eastbay Giant]

Pirog's victory was a product of studying the Jacobs/Walker fight. If you really follow boxing then you know what he did wasn't all that extraordinary. Pirog is a solid fighter, I like his style and would love to see more of him, but P-Will is all wrong for him.

You're trippin.

[BirdSong]

Wiliams is a proven top fighter not a prospect, totally different fight. Williams would take it imo, pirog has only just won a vacant title!!

[Clegg]

Not sure who takes it, but with Williams' defensive lapses you'd have to expect Pirog's big right hand to land at some point.

One thing I did notice is that Pirog did get caught a few times himself last night. Maybe that's no big deal, but it does make me think that a fight between him and Williams would more likely be a back-and-forth type where they both take some punishment rather than a one-sided scholling/beatdown in either guy's favour.

Williams and Martinez are both looking for opponents. If they're not going to face each other then one of them should fight Pirog.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Its probably not worth the risk for Williams. Dont expect to see this fight.

[Mr. Philadel]

too early to tell...but Pirog looked sharp....the only thing is that Jacobs was a prosspect and P.Will is a 3 time world champ.....cant get too hyped over the Jacobs win....but still I give props to Pirog, he looked dam good against Jacobs....I'm impressed but not that impressed to say he beats a Paul Williams

[Steelhammer2011]

I agree. Paul Williams has looked very poor every time I have seen him. I don't know why he is hyped so much? Average speed, average power, and basic boxing skills. The only thing that wins him fights is the unrelenting pace at which he fights. Other than that he is not as good as people make him out to be.

Pirog won't take a backwards step against Williams, and when Williams can't bully you, he is in trouble. I predict that Pirog would KO him before 8.

Good post. I agree 100%

I hear you but what has Williams done above 147? Kolle, Phillips, Wright then his "wins" over Martinez and Cintron. He hasn't established much of anything over 147 and certianly hasn't convinced me of anything in regards to him at 160.

Agree, they are both sure to take punishment and land i just don't think Williams has Middleweight power. I suspect Pirog hits harder than Martinez and would be capable of hurting Williams.

[Magnifico]

Maybe after a few more fights against quality oppostion Pirog will make more people on here believers.

[The Surgeon]

Williams would have him imo, but it looks like Pavlik is gonna KO Pirog first
