Re: winky looked bad against soliman real bad
Max Kellerman made a good point last night on the radio. He said Taylor's not gonna hit Winky nearly as much as Soliman did b/c he doesnt throw nearly that many punches. so if Winky beat him, getting hit that much, it stands to reason he should beat Taylor.
Re: winky looked bad against soliman real bad
To compare the Taylor Fighting Hopkins, or WInky fighting Soliman to them fighting is stupid... thats not how fights work, and Taylor would definitely hit Winky IMO with harder shots than Soliman or Felix ever landed.
Re: winky looked bad against soliman real bad
Taylor couldn't land effectively on Hopkins. His connect percentage was very low. Wright's defence is the equal of anybody. Taylor's only hope is to bull him and rough him up.
Re: winky looked bad against soliman real bad
Such an interesting matchup that any one prediction could make you look stupid at the end of the night.
Taylor is young and raw so it stands to reason that a seasoned defensive genius southpaw such as Winky should put on a clinic, just like Calzaghe did to Lacy... but...
you can school all the bigger guys in the gym you like, fighting them is another ball game ask Toney.
there is a reason Hopkins didnt keep his belts, this kid has great reflexs. Could be an ass whoopin for Taylor but I guess we'll have to wait and see what their styles match up like and if JT's corner has prepared him correctly, one other thing is I also believe he has the right team for the job.
Re: winky looked bad against soliman real bad
Yea yea we all heard the these same criticisms of Soliman by the HBO announcers who were totally ignorant about him until he started busting up Winky's face real good. Many of you must not of watched this fight or forgotten the close up of Winky's face after the fight. Winky was also sick and taking antibiotics before the Trinidad fight too. Must be all the pre fight stress.

I think Taylor hits at least three times as hard as Soliman though. All those punches from Soliman looked like arm-punches to me.
