    This could be an interesting one. If you couldn't seriously hurt Blocker he was a handful. Does Paul Williams workrate allow him to overwhelm Blocker or would he be a step behind all night eating jabs and counters?

    He doesn't punch like any of the guys that were able to stop Blocker. A prime Honeyghan and Starling weren't able to crack Blocker's chin.

    Tall Paul could outwork Mo but it wouldn't be easy. He would have have to get past the those snappy 1-2s Blocker used effectively and Blocker was also a surprisingly good infighter. He had a nice left hook and right uppercut on the inside.

    I think Paul is physically stronger so he could make it a rough fight to wear Blocker down but he would get lit up in the process.
