winky looked bad against soliman real bad

[Wacko3205]

What makes me laugh...most people refuse to deal with the facts of CompuBox.

It was the same thing with the Hopkins Taylor I match up...people refuse to listen to their eyes alone...much less a punch counter.

Anywho...Soliman threw an amazing number of punches...some 1260 of 'em. The thing is this...I could throw 1260 baseballs...but if I were in a ball game & only 14% of my balls made it home...I should be playing little league softball...or the worst game of dodgeball known to mankind.

Winky threw 652 punches...a lot less than Soliman but he landed 300 of the ones that he threw...Soliman landed about 175.

Yeah...Soliman really showed out.

Wright's defense was so on point that out of 350 or so jabs only 10 or 15 % of those made it home.

The only thing that Soliman did was where himself out...which leads me back to the main reason that I love Winky Wright...tactical, technical, & always on point.

Those belts that Taylor keeps trying to tug up to fit his waist were made for a man...he's about to lose to one & pass those belts on to a grown man that deserves them.

id still favor taylor becaus eof his physical stature but this sealed the deal for me

Taylor doesn't stand a chance against Winky, in my opinion. His wins against Hopkins were more down to Hopkins being overly cautious than anything Taylor did right.

Winky won't be nearly as tentative.

Agreed. #199.

Ya'll don't leave this batch hanging...he hit a good point...click dah man!!!

I disagree slightly,even though I back Winky to win,JT does have 1 thing in his favour,the size. That is the only thing I think could cause Winky problems,he may not have tasted that power before however I shall indeed do the honours of giving you your 200th cool click! Congrats bro!

[barbaro]

i think sam soliman thinks if you throw the most punches you win,i dont think he realises your actually supposed to make contact with the person while punching, poor aussie battler,lol.

I think that Wright is going to surprise you chaps.

Look...I like Taylor...I really do...everyone that thinks with their head instead of speaking with their hearts concerning my Taylor outlook knows that...but Wright is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay up there in skill compared to the other chumps that Taylor's been KOing.

Wright has a beard & Wright has faced adversity & worked through it. People act like Wright has no power...he does.

Did anyone pay close attention to Taylor after the 10th in the first Hopkins match? Go back & watch it. Watch him fold, watch him buckle...Wright will not let him off the hook like HOpkins did.

Honestly...Wright being my favorite aside...it'd be better for boxing if Taylor wins...but I'm a selfish bitch...I wanna see my bwoy get payback for all the years of work he's put in.

haha have one back, not that you need them.

[El Gamo]

To be honest Wack,I'm arrogant too and JT can come back and win a title when Wright is gone but whilst he is still here,I want him to win any fight he competes in for the same reason which you stated,the man is owed!!

Would like to watch Winky against Kessler. Two good jabs and defences against each other.... I could be a boring fight though

[bigragu]

barely, that guy soliman sucks taylor would ko him in 5

soliman is a very tough fighter..his style is very ackward and he throws punches form every angle.....not to mention he is one of the best conditioned fighters out there....better wind than Taylor that's for sure...he averaged almost 100 punches per round against winky....

[shooter]

Soliman has a real good chin and Taylor even managed to hurt him a couple of times. To my knowledge Sam's never been dropped and he's fought regularly against super middles and light heavies, even as high as cruiser in Australia.

Aslo most people who have fought Sam have had a hell of a time hitting him. He generally sees punches coming very early. This suggest that Wright is quick to the punch and deadly accurate.

The ONLY way i can see Taylor winning is if he can imposwe his size on Winky. If he's not super physical he'll get shut out IMO.

But do you know how many he landed of those 100 thrown?

Come on...

[sexydarin]

Soliman fought a damn good fight.

[BoomBoom]

boom boom ill give you that, fine it happens but its soesn not affect my prediction, you guys seem to have a hatred for taylor why?

Its not a hatred for Taylor, but a like for Winky. Taylor is a good fighter, but imho he fights like a good amateur. He didnt judge the hopkins fights so he shouldnt be blamed for getting the decisions. But Winky is a elite fighter and very ring smart. I just dont see Taylor on his level

[Taeth]

I like Winky to win this fight, but to disregard either side is plain ignorant IMO... Both guys have proven themselves... Sure Taylor looked bad against Hopkins, but he still looked better than anyone else has in what seems to have been forever. Also IMO the Hopkins that fought Taylor is near to or on the same level skill wise as Winky I don't think the issue is can Taylor withstand the skill outright, but can he handle Hopkins level of skill that throws at least 4 times as many punches it seems will be the question, and can he with his long body and arms punch around WInky's guard or can he muscle through WInky's guard. IMO Winky is as strong as anybody at 160 and probably 168 as well... IN training allegedly he is as strong as Lacy and can move him(Lacy) back.
