    Slappy Joe wins by KO in the UK after smacking Winky's forearms a couple of times.

    Big fan of Winky but Joe would outwork him. Winky would cover and Joe wouldn't penetrate the defense but Winky has shown in losses he can be outworked.

    This is a mismatch... Calzaghe by wide UD.

    Terrible matchup for Winky. Joe might not get anything clean through the guard but the speed and workrate is just too much, plus he's naturally bigger than Winky, who was at his best at 154 originally.

    No ones picking Joe by KO?!

    Wright doesn't get Lacy'd because of his great defense, however he doesn't win a single round. Calzaghe by a mile.

    Winky's best weight was jr middle this would not be a good fight for Wright

    Not a good style match up for Winky. A natural light middle up against a big super middle who was faster, moved better, could out work him which has happened before to Wright like in his fight against Simon and who also has a good enough chin to take anything Wright throws at him without a problem.

    Wright being defensively tight would likely go the distance and he was good enough to at least punish Calzaghe when he got sloppy and stayed in the pocket too long. But being a southpaw himself he doesn't have the right hand that Joe was often open for, he doesn't have the speed or power or work rate to win.

    Calzaghe out works him to win on points.
