    The Viper against the Punisher. Does Forrest's superior boxing technique and powerful right cross win out, or does Williams' volume and in-fighting take the control away fom Vernon's basic left jab/right hand orthodoxy?

    I remember Kermit the Frog outboxing Williams in the early rounds, and finding him an easy target until the bitch in him came out.

    I'd definitely favor Forrest in this one. I think he lands the much cleaner counters, and hit hard/sharp enough to gain Tall Paul's respect.

    Paul's workrate would drop after consistently getting busted in the face by Forrest's jab and throwing off his rhythm.

    Forrest would have a field day with straight right hands.

    And he'd land enough of them to keep P-Will off him.

    Forrest via UD.

    Intriguing fight. I haven't seen this one before. I think Forrest wins a close decision.

    Forrest hits him almost at will with right hands. Probably stops him in around 9 rounds.
