    Yesterday, a rare co incidence, in an airport I ran into Winly Wright!!

    One of my favorite fighter with a stylistict element tha was hard to decipher!!

    Extremely cordial, got a chance to discuss boxing, I mentioned I bekeive his ultimate fight was against TITO, when he displayed all of his defensive and offensive skills... He agreed that was a special victory...talk Bout Shane, Vargas., the draw etc....

    Discussed PBF v Pacquiao, he favor PBF, but expect to be e plosives from the get go...but he expect an anything go type of fight!

    He looks good solid and in shape!! Got the Winky smile going!!

    I cleArly enjoyed the encounter!!

    Lets remember, Tito was a huge favorite going in against him.

    And he absolutely schooled Trinidad.

    Cool story bro.

    Winky was an OK fighter but boring as fukk, and got waaaaaayyyyy too many gifts.

    That said, still cool to talk boxing with a good fighter.

    Got a chance to meet JLC back in 92-93.

    He broke 2 of my ribs with the best body protection available at the time.

    And I had about 3 inches and 15 lbs on him. :lol::lol::lol:

    Yeah, I bullied him for about 40 seconds. :good

    Then he threw a slow, lead R hand, I covered and he drilled me with a double L hook.

    I couldnt breathe for a week. :lol::lol::lol:

    :happy Good stuff, those body shots hurt enough when a novice hits ya in the right spot, let alone a legend who was famous for bodypunching and knows exactly where the vitals are. :scaredas::barf

    What gifts are you talking about?

    If anything he was in the wrong end of some ****ty decisions in his career.

    And i dont agree that he was boring.Aagainst the right opponents he could be pretty good to watch his fights against Vargas, Mosley,Soliman,Simon,Taylor,Vazquez,Quartey were all good fights.

    He made mosley look like a little boy. But to be fair he was a naturally bigger man.
