    Two of the finest defensive technicians the Middleweight division has ever seen, how do you see this one going?

    Wow. Close fight. That would be great to watch from a technical standpoint. Neither of them would be allowing many punches through. I've seen seen all available Benton footage but admittedly don't know much about Winky to comment yet.

    Wright has the higher workrate but Benton would probably land the more telling shots. Winky would be missing while Benton would atleast hit him through his guard if nothing else.

    I honestly wouldn't give Winky a chance. Benton is much better imo.

    Watching some Winky makes me think Benton wins a decision. Winky was too tough to get stopped tho. Probably a wide decision. Benton was much faster and accurate, as well as having more pop.

    Winky would throw more but not land. Benton's defense was even better then Winkys. Benton 8-4 or 10-5
