    This looks like it might have all the makings of a classic matchup with lots of intresting variables. The Punisher is an up and comer for certain, and Winky, of course, is more than comfortable in the role of the well traveled veteran. With Williams "Biggest" win somewhat tainted by the recent happenings in the Margrito camp and the long layoff for The Winkster who knows what could unfold come this spring in Vegas. Can Paul continue his rise up the ladder, or will the crafty Winky be able to turn back both father time and the rapid fire delivery of the Punisher, will youth be served or will the old gray beard dig deep one more time. With the gorgeous Mandalay Bay playing host (and fond memories of the world class seafood buffet still fresh in my mind) I cant think of a better reason, or season to be headed west for fight night.

    I'm a big Paul Williams fan, but I just can't get excited about any Winky Wright fight.  If the inactive, old Winky beats Williams, it's a bad night for boxing.

    Probably not.  Winky likes to put those earmuffs on and wait for opportunities to throw punches.  I don't know if he'll get that chance against Williams.  He doesn't stop punching.  He'll just keep touching Wright all night, whether it's to the arms, elbows, body, ears, gloves.  He just won't stop.

    Winky will be ready, he's got a chance. He's a smart fighter, he knows what Williams wants to do.

    Winky isn't aggressive enough to win rounds vs Williams. He'll probably lose a decision and bitch about the judges. Williams via UD seems about right.

    I feel that Winky knows how to be just aggressive enough. I watched him fight Sam Soliman at Mohegan back in December 2005. Because of Soliman's style Wright was more active than normal. He wasn't content let Soliman set the pace win over the judges.

    Paul Williams > Sam Soliman X 2

     

    Also, how rusty will Winky be?  Maybe he should take a tune-up first, before jumping in with one of the top 15 p4p guys in the sport.

    I agree with you completely DD. I was not comparing Williams and Soliman and I would have legitimate concerns about Wright being rusty coming off a 21+ month layoff.

    Also, how rusty will Winky be?  Maybe he should take a tune-up first, before jumping in with one of the top 15 p4p guys in the sport. 

    I agree with you completely DD. I was not comparing Williams and Soliman and I would have legitimate concerns about Wright being rusty coming off a 21+ month layoff.

    Paul Williams is a amatuer style fighter with no head movement, no latteral movement, lacks power or a killer instinct. Williams is a good prospect but over rated.  Wright will try to stay inside behind the right jab Wright  a much crisper puncher and has fought way quicker and explosive fighters than Wiliams  (jermain taylor and shane mosley). with that said I like winky as an underdog, but if he's in the shape he was last fight williams will win a 12 round UD.
