Does Williams put any power at all into his punches?

[Shake]

He didn't seem to have a lot of snap on any of them. I give him credit, he put forth a big effort on a big occassion and fought a smart fight, winning his first belt, but I usually don't like when a fighter fights solely to get a decision, especially if they seem to be in their natural (or under) weightclass.

The fight did make me a Margarito fan, though. I thought he did everything he could, throwing bodyshots with, sometimes, reckless abandon, simply deciding he had to take whatever Williams could dish out to do damage himself.

A little bit more stamina and he could have eeked out a draw. I scored it 115-113 Williams.

I think Williams is more of an accumulative puncher rather than a one-punch power guy. Either way, its bloody effective!

[Shake]

On the scorecards, maybe. Perhaps he turns it on at times, but I only saw him do that three or four times (punches total!) last night.

He throws very hard shot after one seems to be exhausted or hurt due to the overall accumulation of shots received. He then moves in to close the show, but doesn't force it like an amateur.

[Cruiser1]

He's definitely an accumulation puncher but it works for him. He's constantly hitting the opponent and proving that sometimes offense is the best defense. Even if he's not landing big shots he's still putting his gloves on the opponent, peppering him with punches, and generally annoying the guy. Not to mention the fact that he is scoring points. He can win alot of fights on workrate alone.

Paul has a great ability to change his shots. He varies speed and power on them throughout the whole night. He'll just throw fast shots that keep his opponents on the defensive and will then mix in a couple of harder shots.

I think he's got decent power. Not one punch power but enough to hurt you. His stoppages are more from accumulated damage.

That's how you do it. Mix your punches. Just because we see what looks like a bunch of soft punches on TV doesn't mean that there isn't a laser or 2 in the middle of them.

Paul will get better, If he throws with power he won't be beat.

exactly. He's very good at it. I'm amazed more people dont pick up on his ability to do it.

It's called dressing the opponent up before you take them out.
