    A rumor going around is saying that Paul Williams will open as AT LEAST a -180 (1.55 if I'm doing the Euro conversion correctly) favorite in this fight. I figured he'd be favored, but -180 is showing him plenty of respect. Personally, I'd need an even more inflated number to take Winky simply on value. I know some of you guys must be loving the idea of betting him at +150 (2.50) or better.

    Thoughts?

    The thing with Winky is he's a gressive (keeps coming forwards) defensive (keeps hand tucked up) boxer who can fight inside and out. Not many Southpaws can fight as well inside as Winky, that right hook is a great weapon. I just think how methodical he is, it just mentally gets to his opponent that they can't make a dent.
    Williams should be the favoirite but not by much. Winky hasen't fought in ages and 2 weight classes too high. It would be so interesting to see him dominate and him become a factor in the crappy middleweight division.
