    **** Trout won 5 rounds with a weak jab and workrate.
    I agree. He would have won that fight. Even that Punisher was as good as Trout, probably better, actually. He would have committed where Trout didn't and won.

      It was a stunning disappointment. I was in disbelief. He had so much potential and he was in tons of exciting fights. There was so much future for him that he never got to uncover because he was ended way too soon. It sucks, but yeah, that's life for you. You live life on the edge and sooner or later there is bound to be trouble... Just ask Chico.

        I felt horrible, here is a humble guy (means he trains and sees himself as an underdog), soft spoken, no cursing, someone you can tell a kid to look up to a feel good about it. A monster at 147 and a challenge for anyone. One of those weird physical anomalies at such a weight class with Hearns and Corrales because of his size alone let alone his ****ing work rate and chin. One of those Salvador Sanchez 'could have been' hypotheticals for all the wrong reasons

              Was quite sad about it actually, he was one of my favourite fighters in Boxing. Missed what he bought to the game and still do. So many great matchups that can be made with Williams. I wish he fought in a top quality camp from a young age, he could have gone down as a ATG. He had all the tools.

                I was pretty devistated, it was a similar pain to when I heard Chico (R.I.P) crashed his motorcycle.

                I pray that one day he is able to regain control of his legs to some extent.
