A stoppage defeat I see being the only conclusion

He will make some money and get some good exposure.

Coming off a loss to Williams will perhaps make him more marketable, especially if he holds his own.

Williams wont knock Micky over in one. Thats absurbed.

I think Jennings is very good, granted Williams is about as awkward as you can get for your shot and will make's Micks natural style hard to implement...but Jennings can box properly and is gutsy. Dont think Williams dumps him that fast. Wins yeh, but KO1 - come on.

I would agree it was absurbed, if I knew what it meant.

Sorry, I think Williams wins early. Jennings has been hurt in the past.... Bradley Pryce had him at sea, as did Mutley.... even Ross Minter gained some respect.

Williams is a monster puncher compared to these, and quick. Williams is arguably the best Welter in the world.

If this was Quintana vs Jennings - then it might be different, still Quintana would be a heavy favourite - but I think Jennings could hold his own.... Williams though has every possible advantage. I do see another Pavlik vs Lockett.

It's hardly absurd when he's just blown Quintana out in the first and Quintana is a better fighter than Jennings. However, I love Jennings' style and concede that if you were betting on it you'd expect him to last to the halfway stage, though you can't rule out 'stage fright' given it would be a massive step-up in class.

I like Mick, good solid fighter, and seems a really nice lad....

Got to say though, that as much as I wan't him to do well, the best he can do here is "look good losing". Ultimately this will be a story of levels, and Williams might well make an easy night's money.

Shame, because Jennings is one of my favorite brit fighters, and one i've always wanted to succeed.... but Williams is as awkward as they come, and Mick doesn't have the dig to make any kind of impact IMO.

What's this new trend of fighters beating low ranked opposition and sitting tight until a world title shot falls into their laps? Does nobody work their way up the rankings and win an eliminator etc. anymore?! :o

He was being a bit facetious, must be his new pals over in the Far East :)

Jennings will get halfway at least, he's no mug, he deserves more credit than he's getting.

I appreciate Williams is a class above, but he won't knock out Mick in 1.
