Interesting..

Winky's clinches were a result of fatigue...hopkins came out with clinching a major part of his game plan. Winky came to fight!
RE: 41 of 53 clinches by Winky between rds 8-12.

Winky is a great fighter but anyone that is around a natural JMW is sure to feel the effects of the fighting the bigger/stronger guys if they keep goin up in weight to fight. Especicially if alot of roughhousing is involved in the fight.

He can make alot of noise @ JMW (if he wants to make weight), @ MW (where I would like to see him), & probably @ SMW (real close to his limit & probably not where he should go IMO). Over SMW (& probably not there) is not in Wink's best interest IMO.

It will be interesting to see what's next. He deserves the big $$$ & big fights IMO. He has paid his dues.
