Paul Williams-Winky Wright is ON for April
according to boxingscene
Probably either April 11 or 18.
On HBO
Winky apparently agreed to 50-50, a bit surprising.
Can't believe Winky isn't taking some kind of tuneup.
Right now the unknown on Winky is high, I might favor Paul since I don't think Winky would have ever liked Paul's style. But as much as anything its just I can't be too confident betting on an old guy who hasn't fought in two years.
Re: Paul Williams-Winky Wright is ON for April
Is the fight 154-160?
Im sure its 160 but I dont want to assume... But then again knowing Williams it could be at 168.

fair play to Williams, theres alot of easier options out there for him. Be intresting to see what Winkys like, he's a bit like Hopkin's, I wouldn't bet against him...
Re: Paul Williams-Winky Wright is ON for April
Good on Williams for wanted to fight all comers. This is an intriguing fight. A few years ago I might have favored Winky, but I'm learning towards Williams here.
Re: Paul Williams-Winky Wright is ON for April
Interesting fight for sure :)
Probably the 2 fighters that boxers least want as opponents, getting it on.
Re: Paul Williams-Winky Wright is ON for April
If Winky is in good shape, I would have to think that Winky wins this one. He fought a good fight against Jermain Taylor who I believe is the same height as Williams. I thought the Jermain vs Winky fight was a good descision. Williams is good but Jermain is better and if Winky is in shape and not too rusty from being out so long I think he'll win. I guess it all depends on Winky's condition.
Re: Paul Williams-Winky Wright is ON for April
Williams is becoming the next p4p king. He is fearless. I am beginning to like this guy whether he wins or loses.
Re: Paul Williams-Winky Wright is ON for April
i think winky will win i know hes had 2 years out the ring but still recken hes got the style 2 win this fight. both fighters cud of thought easier oppersition. but i guess wen ur 2 of the most ovoided fighters theres only 1 option fight each other haha
Re: Paul Williams-Winky Wright is ON for April
I favor RuPaul on this one by points...
Re: Paul Williams-Winky Wright is ON for April
I actually favor Winky Wright for this fight. He is not shop worn, and will be very big at that weight.
Re: Paul Williams-Winky Wright is ON for April
It won't be an easy ride, but I see Williams taking a decision over 12. Fairplay to both for making this fight. It isn't a gimme for either.
Re: Paul Williams-Winky Wright is ON for April
I believe its a bad move for Winky coming in with no tune up.Williams does take alot of shots,cut nasty vs.Phillips,though his volume was great.At Middle this is no Andy Kolle or even a worn Phillips.If Winky gets that jab going and has been doing some serious gym work,He could just take Williams.But that was a helluva lay off for a world class fighter!!
Re: Paul Williams-Winky Wright is ON for April
If he still has it, it's Wright 9 rounds to 3. If Quintana could out box Williams, Wright will too.
