Liam Williams v Andrade

Re: Liam Williams v Andrade

Either Williams has a granite chin, or Andrade doesn’t carry much punch power.
If it’s the latter, then he’ll struggle when he moves up a weight.

Hope I am wrong here but have a bad feeling Williams might show that world level is just a step too far. Can see him challenging for titles again but he needs a different approach if he is going to beat the elite level fighters.

Walking forward in straight lines and looking to drag fighters into a war only takes you so far. Hagler perfected it but Hagler threw ridiculous volume. The bit of success Williams had he didn't capitalise on and he was also getting caught a fair bit too, especially in the first half of the fight.

He's going to end up the Derek Chisora of the middleweight division. Not skilled enough to win a world title, but in that second group of boxers who are honest, hard working, tough as nails and prepared to fight anyone, even if it's on their terms. Like Chisora, he lacks that bit of class and know how to get to the top. I hope that he makes plenty of money and gets out at the right time. It's a brutal sport and anyone who competes at that level of boxing has my utmost respect. If taken seriously, there aren't many sports more brutal or where personal sacrifice is so key to success.

Oh I wish him well and hope he makes as much from the game with as little damage as I do for most fighters really.

Nothing worse than your Social Media Rocky who calls afighter a bum or whatever while being virtually guaranteed to fill their boxers if they sparred a decent fighter with a bit of knowhow.

I see him like Martin Murray.
Hard as Fcuk, Game as Fcuk...just short of world level.
