    Who do you think takes this, i dont think Winky really had the power to get to Terrys suspect chin, but i think Terry could give Winky problems with his speed, power, and countering, on the flipside, i think Winky would frustrate Terry if he kept him on the backfoot and on the end of his jab, and using his own countering as well, bringing out the stubborness in him, and outbox him to a decision..

    Ill say Winky UD12, what do you all think?

    The Winky that fought Vargas get's beat. The Winky that fought Mosley twice wins by decision.

    I didn't vote.

    Terry's power punching combinations are enough to breach Winky's defense, and if two automatons with similar styles to Norris and Wright were to engage in a fight, I'd pick the Terry clone based on output and damage dealt. However if emotions factored in somehow as they normally do in Winky fights, it gets very, very murky. Wright just might frustrate him en route to a decision victory.

    This is a very good match-up. I believe the fight would indeed be entertaining. Norris had a lot of heart, just not a lot of chin. Winky probably hits hard enough to get Norris' attention, but he is not a big hitter. Norris would be able to handle what Winky has to offer for the most part.

    Ike Quartey is a good fighter, and he gave Winky a good go of it. I don't think it was a particularly close fight in terms of scoring, but it was very competitive match. Quartey is not the technician Norris was. Norris also had very good right hand, a punch you need to defeat Winky.

    I like Norris by decision. His hand speed, good energy, and punching power would be too much for Winky to out tough and win rounds.

    I can't believe i'm saying this, but I agree with you. Norris' problem was guys with power, which is something Wright doesn't have.

    Norris was a brilliant fighter. He's better on the eye than Wright, punches quicker, puts them together better, and is generally more offensive minded. But Wright's style would be hard for Norris to break down. Norris hasn't fought many fighters with the defense and stinging jab that Wright possesses.


    Wright W12 Norris.
