I honestly don't see Deandre winning that fight- mostly because the one time I saw him live he looked like dog crap (or perhaps cat crap) against Sammy Sparkman- but he does seem to step it up a bit against better fighters, so you never know. I think as highly as Spinks was rated, though, Williams is still a substantial step up from there, and even though I thought he deserved a draw in his second fight with Powell, he had really reduced Sechew to a gatekeeper by that time.

This is a pretty good fight for both guys I think. Williams would get a very inconsistent fighter without much KO power to come back against, while Latimore would have at least some chance to get back from obscurity into the top 10.
