    On the countdown show a week ago i noticed during camp Winky was eating donughts WHILE HES MEANT TO BE TRAINING!! i noticed as well Winky looked a little overweight at the scales and he looked tired by the 5th round unusual as Winky was always known for his excellent stamina did he take this fight not serious enough?​

    I think he wasnt at his best, too much weight, he looked really outta gas, and it definately had something to do with it!

    He wasn't out of shape 170 is too much weight for him to be fighting at.

    why did he even weigh 170 surely he could have weighed 167 or 168 or was it only allowed at 170 ?

    His best weight is 160 and he was fighting 10 pounds above it.

    However, there are few chances that he didn't train correctly. I think he was in the best possible conditions at that weight.

    Yoda? No my friend that's Cthulu, Lord Cthulu to you. I agree with Ocean's, coming in at 170 was a mistake, he didn't seem to carry that weight too well, ergo, being at 170 contradicts the notion of best shape.

    He was a fat ****, he had a layer of fat on him. But if he had trained the way he normally does there's no way he goes in weighing 170 more like 160 which is where he should be at.

    It was a combination of moving up two weight classes and the mugging he received from Hopkins

    to me, a win over Winky at 170 at this point doesn't do that much for Hopkins' legacy...this fight was a couple years too late and should've happened at 160 before Hopkins moved up...
