having terrible defense is not an off night

[Pullcounter]

let's face it, pwill has *****ty defense. his trainer is a crack head to not notice the glaring defensive deficiencies in pwill's game.

it's not an off night when you get caught with a big shot with your hands around your waste. it's called "inviting a spectacular KTFO" or "KO of the Year"

Is this the end of pwill? no. pwill can still improve his defense. however, defense doesn't mean fight like a slick black fighter. all he needs to do is keep his chin tucked and his guard up around his chin at all times and he should be fine.

I agree, he can IMPROVE his defense but the man fights instinctively through an offensive approach.


I think once he gets hit flush he would only naturally revert back to his “face-first” style of fighting only to be caught again ala Sergio.


Combine this with the fact Paul doesn’t utilize his height/reach advantage and fights at the level (height wise) as his foes….

More than bad defense he has bad technique. When Martinez caught Williams, his right hand was down by his waist. That is something that should be fixed in the gym. His trainer should be fired. Add to that Williams constantly fights the wrong fight. Face first aggression. It was bound to catch up to him sooner or later.
Like Williams camp had the brilliant idea to walk in with hands down against a sharp counter puncher.

lol is McGirt his trainer?

It's possible to be offensive and defensive at the same time. I don't want him to change as a fighter. I like his aggression and his warrior mentality. what he needs tho is the cultivate good defensive habits that will make him a more dangerous boxer. for starters... when throwing the left hook, keep you chin tucked and your right hand glued to your chin.

well, that's why you train hard in the gym.

yep. he can keep the punch output, but he needs to fight from a longer distance and with straighter punches. he can **** with his opponents inside, but he's gotta keep his guard up, his chin tucked, and his punches short.

it's not over for pwill, but he needs a real trainer.

There is plenty of room for improvement, just basic stuff that he does wrong.

usually bad defense is a sign of bad technique.

His trainer should be fired.

completely agree.

pwill can keep on fighting this style, but he needs to keep his chin tucked and his guard up. it wouldn't hurt him to punch straighter either.

Like Williams camp had the brilliant idea to walk in with hands down against a sharp counter puncher.

walking in with your hands down against any style isn't a great idea.

lol is McGirt his trainer?

mcgirt would've worked on pwill's defense. this guy hasn't improved pwill at all.

it's amazing how far he's gotten with such flaws in basic stuff. he's a freak of nature.

There's not much you can do when your opponents figured you out and is waiting for that openning.

He just needs to keep his hands up.

[Uturn]

I've heard many suggest Paul to stay behind the jab, this in my opinion just wouldn't work for Paul. I can't really explain what needs to be done with Paul since his style is unique and very different. Paul can't fight cautiously, it's not in his genes... I don't really know what Paul has to do other than tighten his defense.

Paul = One of the strangest fighters.

It really is, he has tons of ability and attributes that give him such an advantage over opponents. If he can find a trainer to broaden his scope and skill set he could then have options then can adjust to different styles as opposed to just throwing 100 punches while hoping something good happens or he landed enough to win rounds.
