You understand what it is like to want someone to do well?.
I wanted RW to win anf I though it was 50/50 going into the 6th...
Howard's experience told in the end...
RW did not lose any standing in the Sport last night. He gained imo and he would spank all the other Middles in here..
I predict Eastman drops the belt and Williams Vs Elcock happens by the Summer...
If Eastman does drop the British what will he go for? Will he get a shot at the European or just bugger off on holiday??? Do you know something that we don't?
Williams - Elcock would be interesting. I'd also like to see Williams fight Lockett -
Not at all mate - I have watched so many RW fights over and over again to KNOW he is techincally very skilled.
It is easy to be blinded though - but in Boxing there is no room for false words.
I believed this to be a 50/50 fight going in and during the fight ( up to the 7th ) Willliams justified that belief and held his won.
The latter stage of the fight RW was getting tired because Howard leaned on and basicaly took a lot of steam out nof him..
Despit elosing the fight - RW enhanced his rep and hopefuly he gets mnore opportunites. I do not think Howard keeps the belt an I would be surprised if RW was not still ranked at the position he had BEFORE the Estman fight.
Williams Vs Elcock for the Vcant Title imo.
Howard just wanted the win and he got it and he drops the belt, imo.
Of the current 11st 6lb fighters in the world only Winky has the experience to match Howard.
RW lost nothing in defeat because he performed well and got good exposure.
IF HOWARD DROPS THE BELT.
Lets see if it is Williams Vs Elcock for the Vacant1
Elcock could'nt get a straight shot back at the title, i'd be suprised if Williams gets a straight shot, Elcock has won an eliminator and the English and i still don't think he's manditory, Darren Mcdermott vs Darren Rhodes (who Elcock ko'd in 1 round) are now fighting an eliminator for the title.
