Winky Wright WILL beat Paul Williams

I generally agree with you, I just think Winky is more faded than you're making him out to be. Also, it's not like he hasn't had problems with inaccurate volume punchers in the past (see: Sam Soliman). I see this as an even money fight, and if Winky had fought recently and showed he's even at the level where he fought Taylor, I'd heavily favor Winky.

A few more points:

- Williams struggled with Quintana, a southpaw counterpuncher. Winky's bigger, stronger and quicker than Quintana.

- Winky is coming back down from 170. That could really hurt him. Once you add on the weight, the fighter ends up a lot more drained when they move back down, and it tends to hurt both reflexes and punch resistance. See, e.g., Jones, Tarver, Byrd, Oscar.

- Williams won't have the same workrate and stamina at 160. It always happens. A guy puts on extra muscle mass, and they underestimate how much more oxygen they need to get in order to feed those extra muscles. I suspect Williams will either have a lower workrate than usual, or will tire out in the late rounds.

 

Where you been? I get all the big fights right, but if I mess one up I won't go into hiding like you and would give Wink credit which I can tell you wouldn't do if The Punisher wins!

 

Wow, you know anything about boxing? Winky did not "put on 10 pounds." He simply lost 10 less for his last fight so this comparison to other boxers coming back down is irrelevant.

Williams is not adding much of anything as far as muscle. He's simply not going to have to lose so much weight. The guy is 6"2 and thin as hell at WW. 160 is a more natural weight for him.

 

I'd generally agree with you, but I Winky is mostly losing fat. He knew he wasn't going to stay at 170/168/175 or whatever, his future was still gonna lie at 160, so I don't think he made a point of adding 10lbs of muscle. Therefore he should be able to lose the weight. Given the fact he's been inactive since that Hopkins fight, I think he'll be fine.

The other points you make however are excellent.

 

This is really a half assed prediction. If PW wins, Winky is shot, if Winky wins, I told you so.

 

lol.. You're spot on with that. i agree.

 

Well some will say Winky was shot or Paul over-hyped depending on who the winner is but what's new?

 

And we know what Finito agrees with must be right? Jesus, how many times your dumb ass been banned? IMO

 

Of course it's right u ****. Ive been banned many times cuz the Mod has a personal vendetta against me. BTW U don't know **** about boxing.

 

I don't. How I get all those big fights right in detail that are supposedly mismatches? A vendetta? Maybe it's because you say some dumb ****?

 

So you claim.

Pac-DLH and Hopkins-Pavlik were easy to predict anyway.

 

Im really excited about this fight. dont really get your logic with margarito blocking hes punches- he lost and couldnt really get off until the end...winky doesnt throw many punches(and variety) as margarito so its tough to see how he gets off shots to win rounds. i do think he can win tho and im supporting him

 

if this were 2006 id agree...but its 2009 and paul has been active and winky hasn't..paul sd
