I didn't touch that fight because I didn't know enough about Williams. If you look at his resume, only a couple of names are recognizable. Out of his 30 wins, 28 came against tomato cans.

As for Tyson, he was never that great of a fighter, even in his prime. I mean, who did he beat? A geriatric Holmes and the light-heavyweight Michael Spinks. That's it. Every good boxer who stepped into the ring with Tyson beat him: Holy, Lewis, even Douglas. And he ducked Bowe and Foreman (who was in his mid-40's).

The best odds for Tyson were 1.13, and roughly 8.25 for Williams (when the lines first came out). Didn't seem to be worth a shot. Oh well.
