    oooooo tough call! i wanna go with duran (i always wanna go with duran) but my head tells me that he lost to the very best boxers, especially above lightweight. winky was very big for the weight, reasonably strong and had an excellent defense and chin (vasquez aside). duran's track record is not so great against pure boxers though the winky that fought mosley lacked the footwork and movement that truly troubled hands of stone and formed his achilles heel. i had to say that winky pounds away for the first 6, nailing duran with jabs while duran works the body to little success. winky slows over time and in an effort to impress the crowd trades with duran. this leads to a flash knockdown in the ninth and duran continues to chip into winky's lead. it's tight going down the stretch but wright's early lead carries him through to a SD

    I think Winky's defence will make Duran some trouble, as will his size advantage, pressure, workrate and jab. I like Winky to outwork Roberto and win a comfortable UD.
