This will be problematic but Winky can walk through anybody's punches with his defense and so he'll be forced to force Williams back.

AS Winky has gotten older, he seems to be just a come forward fighter. I don't know how effective he can be on the back foot.

Got found wanting desperately against Bhop because of the fact hopkins is a very clever fighter and as velasquez discovered if you can work winky out early on you`ve won half the fight already.

The reason this is such a tough outing for PW is because we`ve clearly seen his physical abilitys on numerous occasions but this is going to test his mental stamina and ability to work his opponent out before its too late.

Going to be a very interesting watch and wont be a khan-barrera anti climax!
I agree that this will be a mental test for Williams. Will be be able to make mid-fight adjustments against elite competition? On the other hand, he may not need to if he just throws tons of punches and wins it on the cards.
