PWill is clearly not ready for big fights again. He still had the same flaws and the worst thing is that he seems to think this will cut it against top level competition. I'm not even sure this gets past Canelo.I don't even know how to feel about this fight.
A part of me wants to say PWill fought a beautiful fight, kept up the work rate we expected from him, landed in combinations, steadied his legs ALITTLE more than usual, with the usual concerns (fighting too low for his height, getting caught off balance, etc.)
And then another part of me is mad this s**t even went to decision. He got tagged way too much for my taste, and was fighting against a guy he should've gotten out of there by the 7th or 8th round.
At this point, its either Ishida is better than we thought coming into this fight, or PWill just isn't the fighter we thought he was.Comment

I don't want to discredit him but in part I agree with you. In a previous post I said that PWILL was caught early had it been by a K.O. puncher it was night night again. Kirkland is overrated and that was Ishida's best win. He belongs at 154 but I'm not sold on him being able to turn it around and both Chavez Jr. and Sergio would take him out. He has abetter shot against Canelo.Comment

I don't understand why people aren't giving Ishida credit for sticking in there. He's 36 and took everything Paul had, and dished out plenty of counter rights and lead rights and an occasional lead left. If he had more power in there, Paul would be seeing stars
Paul doesn't look like he's all that big of a puncher at 154
I'd fear for Paul honestly if he fought JCC Jr at 160, real talk. If I was JCC, I'd demand that fight 30 seconds ago.Comment
