    I like Winky as well. Oscar was at his best at 147 but at 154, Winky was much more natural. The main reason for a Wright victory would be Winky's ability to take away Oscar's jab. With Winky's soutpaw stance and heavy right jab being in direct conflict with Oscar's left jab, I could see Winky using his size and strength to bully oscar much like he did against Shane. Oscar's entire offense was depended on his left jab setting it up. Winky was a master at taking the jab away from a conventional fighter.

    Just look at Winky's fights with Shane, Tito and Quartey. The left hand of all three of thos guys was completely neutralized.
