Not sure what I think of this to be honest.
Williams has an 8 inch reach advantage. He throws a lot of punches, and is very active fighter. Alvarez generally doesn't fight for most of the round, and then explodes with accurate punches.
If Alvarez doesn't catch Williams cold early (a la sergio martinez), it smells like a fight that will be a close decision...Williams will take rounds vs alvarez on activity alone.
This is by far Alvarez's toughest fight to date. Props to him for taking the fight. Williams might be better than Miguel Cotto and Timothy Bradley. It is what it is, but I think Williams has to dominate the fight to get the decision....Alvarez's undefeated record is worth A LOT of $.
