I'm thinking of putting a bet on. I'm not sure how much Winky has left but if he's still as good as he was when he fought Jermain Taylor I think he can beat Williams, maybe even dominate him.
I'm a bit worried about his legs but I think a prime Winky hands Williams a boxing lesson.
Very interested to see how this pans out and wouldn't be at all suprised if Williams loses a wide decision and gets embarrassed like Pavlik did against B Hop.
Wright will beat Williams convincingly. They're both leftys and the Williams-Quintana 1 is the perfect blueprint for Winky. I hope he's got enough gas to put pressure on Williams.
I dont know Bilbo,its one of those fights where anything is possible, if i had to put my head on the block id say Williams to fresh and busy for Winky at this stage of there careers. UD Williams.
I gotta disagree, i do think it's more of a safe bet dropping dough on williams but winky will never be a easy opponet for anyone.
It's amazing to me to see how many people think it will be an easy fight for either guy.
This is going to be a close competitive fight. Even though I favor Williams, I'm definately not confident enough to put on bet down.
Yeah I know its just it has the potential of being a blowout either way I think.Quote:

I want to root for the old champ, he never really got his due and it would be great if he could turn in a Trinidadesque masterclass here.
I'm envisioning Williams throwing loads of punches early but getting caught time and time again before his offensive output is halved as he cannot get to Winky.
I also think cuts will play a factor and I can see Williams getting busted up, bad swellings etc.
I'm going out on a limb and prediction a lop sided Winky win or even a late stoppage in his favour.
Of course the smart money would be on a split decision win for Williams with Winky protesting he was robbed, ha actually this really could be the best bet of all Williams razor thin SD :D
If Winky is the underdog HELL YES I would put money on him. Sure Williams throws a ton of punches and he's big and awkward but Winky Wright is a great boxer, he can hang with the best and I think he could give Williams all he can handle no matter what shape Winky is in.
Conversly, if Williams is the underdog (which I doubt he is) I'd put a few bucks on him. This is a pick'em fight...Quintana gave Williams fits in their first fight, if Winky can counter Williams then it's going to be a LOOOONG night for Paul

I'd do it....sure Winky has been off for like 2 years but #1 Paul Williams is not a 1 punch power puncher #2 PW doesn't like pure boxers (as evident with his 1st fight with Quintana) #3 Winky has a hell of a chin and great defense #4 Williams throws in quantity and Wright throws in quality.
I think it's a solid bet
I thinnk this is going to be a one way or another bout for Winky.....
He is either going to show his age and the ring rust will be too much for him and it will be an embaressment for him or
Winky will completely dominate Williams making Paul look like Pavlik in the Hopkins fight

What the hell is the Tito fight?
Well Bilbo, I was just reminded that Teddy Atlas picked Williams, so whatever you were planning on putting on Wright, double it.Quote:

I am rooting for Winky as well believe me...One of the eras best...Plus I just don't like Williams
The odds on Winky are good ones, but I think the smart money is on Williams. I really think he's that good and has learned from the off night against Quintana. Winky is a quality fighter, but age, inactivity and being the smaller man (height and reach) will play against him.
Williams will just keep on throwing whether it lands or not, and can't see Winky setting the same pace.
