Winky Wright-Paul Williams - Let's Talk!!!

[RP33]

It should be great. Will Winky take Williams to school the way Hopkins took Pavlik and Mosley took Margarito? If this goes to the cards, will Williams' high output win the day? In the alternative, will Winky's defense and accurate shots win him the rounds?

I too vacillate over this fight. Here's the most popular way to look at it and why the odds favor Williams: Williams punch output wins the fight. Williams will throw a lot of punches and although many of them may miss their mark or hit Winky's gloves, they will accumulate. Winky isn't hyper active and doesn't have big punching power. He may not be able to do enough against Williams' youth.

Another outcome could be that Winky makes it difficult for Williams to throw flurries by holding and blocking the blows and that Williams at 160 against elite opposition isn't as mobile and as active as has been. Will Pwill be able to adjust?

Game time decision for me.

Question for everyone: when was the last time Winky faced a taller opponent who throws a lot of punches?

Good question.. My question would be how much taller is Williams than Winky? I know what they're listed at and what not, but will Williams be able to really control the fight by being the taller guy? I don't think that's a question we can answer until we hear the bell and see them go at it..

This is such a tough fight to call.. Winky has NEVER been outclassed, and I don't see Williams being the one to outclass him.. I think that if Winky can connect early and get into a rhythm and not get frustrated or flustered by the output and reach of Williams he will take this one. My prediction is Winky UD, but I wouldn't be surprised if Williams won by UD.. Don't see a KO coming in this one.

gonna go out on a limb and say winky will take a split decision

PW deserves every credit for taking this fight as its just about the hardest of the 7-8 options he had.
