The only people to beat Paul Williams or give him some trouble were much bigger than Porter. Sergio Martinez, Carlos Quintana, Margarito, and Lara were all at least 5'9" with at least a 6 foot reach. Plus, we all know Margarito was probably using illegal wraps.
Porter is short for a welterweight. His height and reach disadvantage was a problem in his fights against Brook, Ugas, and Spence. Williams is much taller and rangier than those 3, so it will be a rough night for Porter.
Paul rarely fought like a tall fighter with the reach advantage....that makes this one that much more interesting! Both guys have the ability to overwhelm most of their opponents.
