Abraham....The Upgraded Version of Winky Wright.

i agree, king arthur a much harder punching and i think a tougher version of winky

 

Abraham's peek-a-boo guard is good, but not as good as Winkys or Eddie Chambers.

 

Not really. Both use the "turtle guard", and that's about it. Winky operates popping out the jab from the guard and follows up with the straight left (and in more exciting fights, with combos), then quickly back to the shell. Abraham jabs (very effectively) here and there, but most of the time he EXPLODES with huge power shots without caring to set the offense up, he's very aggressive for moments, then returns to the guard, which is something you never see from Winky. Other times he holds his hands low and counters when opponents try to catch him. Abraham is far from being the great technician Winky Wright is, but does many different things and with power. His way of fighting is very different.

If anything, his defense is Ottkeesque not Wrightesque.

 

Winky Jabs

AA doesnt

 

hahah noo. Winky is a technician. Abrahams a bruiser.

 

Abraham is Sven Ottke and Mike Tyson's lovechild!

 

It's only the defence that is similar. Offensively they are polar opposites, Winky-Wright is more about the jab and is a volume fighter. Abraham sacrifices volume for punching as hard as he's physically capable of.

 

Winky is a much better technician that Abraham. What Abraham has is skull crushing power. Aside form holding their hands high, they don't fight very similarly at all.

 

He let his hands down quite a bit last night. His defense isnt as tight as a Prime Winky, but he more than makes up for that with his punching ability.

 

Similar but with different strengths.

 

They fight NOTHING alike. Winky was a southpaw with a consistent jab, and a high workrate, yet no power. AA is a puncher with a hard, yet inconstent jab, and an erractic workrate. TERRIBLE comparison.

 

Aside from their general defensive posture, I don't see many similarities, or any at all really.

 

well stated... it's like comparing apples and oranges. i think we should just appreciate these two talents for what they are.

 

when I watched last night I too thought of winky
