Hello heady and welcome to saddoboxing.

It's my opinion that through the adoption of a Winky Wright type defence, you would compromise your own advantages in terms of reach.
By throwing on the ear muffs like Winky you would sacrifice your reach, allowing a fighter to close the distance - an easy avenue past your jab and cross.


I won't tell you not to do it, but sometimes the best defence is a jab and at 6'3" you're bound to be blessed with an above average reach.
