    I wonder what weight it will be at. Most likely 160 . It is going to be a great fight though il be siding with Paul but i wouldnt be upset for winky to make a huge comeback.

    Thanks for that. I honestly think your right there, Winky has a lot of experience and skill and a good boxing brain, Williams is a very good fighter but a guy like Winky could certainly outclass him with the right strategy.

    A really good matchup. I see Williams taking this one, his activity will be too much for Winky. Winky is old now, and been totally inactive.

    Doesn't mean Winky hasn't been training, if Winky is in the same form he was against Ike Quartey I see Williams in big trouble because Winky will walk right through the few shots he lands, and Paul Williams is wide open on the inside. If P.Williams is smart and uses his really quick feet and fights on the outside then I see him doing better.

    Winky may not be favored but make no mistake about it, Winky is the most skilled fighter Williams has ever had to face and it's by a significant margin too. So if Williams is outskilled by Winky it's not going to be of any great shot. Look at how much Quintana and even Sharmba Mitchell were able to catch Williams with their left hands, Quintana almost at will.

    Williams has never faceed anything like Winky's jab either and I'm guessing if Paul is in range then Winky is going to be able to get it over Williams' low guard. This is the next in the line of Shane and B Hop watch. Williams is a great fighter who's really turned into something but he didn't have a great amateur background and he's been improving but he's still really raw and KOing Carlos Quintana in one round didn't mean that was automatically fixed. Against Phillips he looked better but Winky is better then anyone he's ever faced.

    I'm very much looking forward to this I hope Winky is in shape. Bernard mauled him but he looked flatfooted and bothered by the cut. I hope his legs aren't going, I don't think so I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt that he's not going to be shot overnight.

    I think Williams reach and activity will prove to be too much. Of course I've made this same prediction in the other two rising star vs. legend fights and been completely wrong both times. I'm really looking forward to this one. Honestly I'm a little disappointed in Winky's inactivity, it's great to finally be able to see him in action again.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
