The fight is several months away, but the momentum is building by the week. Ronald "Winky" Wright, the one time undisputed junior middleweight champion is moving up in weight to challenge the comeback king, Felix "Tito" Trinidad.

Due to the obvious size difference between the two fighters, the boxing press has automatically labeled Winky Wright as a sacrificial lamb sent to slaughter. After speaking with Winky Wright, he came off as a very confident challenger who is far from an intimidated opponent.

Winky knows that the public is against him in this fight and the negativity only makes his desire to win so much stronger.

"They (press) keeps talking about a fight (against Julio Cesar Vasquez) I had eleven years ago when I only had 25 fights. I went down 5 times in that fight and still lost the fight by a few points which means I was winning almost every round." said Wright [details (http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=766)]

it's a good but risky move by winky. good because he's nothing more to prove in his division, being the undisputed champ...beating them all. what's risky is that he's immediately matched against tito, who is bigger and more importantly more adept with the division....

but definitely this fight is going to RUMBLE!!! :boxing:

All the focus is on Tito, but I believe Winky Wright will have a surprise in store for everyone. I wouldn't underestimate Winky in this fight.
