hmm says... My brain says Paul because of his conventional style (good punching/ offense) but my heart/ gut says Wright for his unorthodox technical style on defense (defense wins championships?).... we shall see..
The subject of Wright's innactivity has been beat to death - for good reason. It's a major question mark at his stage in the game. Still, I have Winky winning this fight based on superior counter punching, superior ring intelligence, and superior defense. Williams isn't hard to find. He puts his hand in the cookie jar every few seconds. Winky, on the other hand, makes it very hard for his opponents to score. Team Williams will surely try and pull Wright out of position with movement, flurries, and direction changes - they saw the Soliman and Hopkins fights like the rest of us - but Paul's weaknesses as a chess player and his pre-rehearsed generic boxing moves are going to betray him the moment he has to actually start thinking and making adjustments against a fighter of Wright's pedigree. Skill, natural talent, and experience, over youth, physical advantages, and momentum.
hmm says... I'm pumped... Same thoughts I had in mind San Rafael.. I can see this fight possibly going the distance if both are cautious. If both are gonna try to outsmart one another with their styles, I can see it as the one who doesn't gas himself out. I see Williams getting caught in Wright's gameplan quite a bit but I'm sure he'ld be smart enough to recognize his folly and adapt....(but adapt to what kind of gameplan)..That of course is if he doesn't decide to be the aggressor throughout the match...But then again, his aggressiveness might see him to victory. I see the experienced Wright as the more cautious and patient fighter who will wait for each opportunity to take him apart. ...age vs youth... I'm gonna go with Wright for the hell of it......
