    Apprently since the winky/taylor rematch fel through, Winky will face paul williams in april and they will be fighting at the 160lb weight limit. How does everyone see this fight going? Winky's D and jab against Williams' physical advantages and workrate?

    This is not yet official even according to your source. One thing you have to know when dealing with Winky, who totally thinks he is worth more than he is, is that any negotiation can break down in a heartbeat.

    Winky has had such a long layoff it's doubtful he has anything left. Williams UD.

    Winky will be challenged like he hasn't been in quite some time. PTP's pressure, length, and punch variety presents a package of challenges that I believe will translate into a penetration of Winky's tight defense. A small part of me believes that Winky's defense and experience could prevail similar to how Hopkins was able to against Pavlik but ultimately I think PTP has the tools and youth to win.

    Williams UD 12. I think Winky's only chance is to hurt Williams with a counter hook or uppercut when they close. Williams needs to stay on the outside and find ways to land the quick, straight shots and not let Winky get into any kind of rythem.

    paul should be able to win this on work rate alone. I can see winkey going into his shell and not comming out till the fight is over

    I see Williams winning a UD. Winky is a great fighter but he is getting older and hasn't been active enough. Williams power i believe is extremely under rated.
    The only chance i see for winky is if his shell defense can hold up for the first third of the fight while williams throws himself out. Winky would then have two pour it on in the closing with BODY SHOTSand go for a KO otherwise Williams UD.

    If Winky has anything left he will destry PW. I'm not talking KO obviously. I'm talking about 11 rounds to 1 sort of fight. Same way as Tito except Tito actually had some power. Ever since PW Kod Quintana(questionable chin) and Koelle(who) his power is actually very overrated.
    Winky was an awesome fighter with great skill. However that layoff and his age don't help.
