Austin Trout vs Paul Williams

[FilMor]

So Trout looks bad against Canelo and now he is done eh? Paul Williams got beat by Carlos Quintana out of all people, yet people think Williams destroys Trout who's 10x better than Quintana. I take Trout by UD.

I'd actually favor Trout in this matchup. Because he's a relatively big southpaw and if the Punisher had a weakness, it'd be a southpaw. The head to head matchup does not translate into who the better overall fight was/is prime for prime though.

He's bigger and has a much better chin than Quintana and that's about all the advantages he holds over Quintana who was faster and more mobile (also less shy w/the overhand left). Also keep in mind P.Will had a lot of trouble making weight for that fight, he was better prepared for the rematch and where he finished him quick.

A prime Paul Williams at 154 outworks Trout to a UD; Trout doesn't have the power to hurt P. Will, he doesn't have a money shot in his arsenal and would not be able to keep up with P.Will's pace.
