When this fight was first signed I was leaning toward picking Tito to win but then I thought about the fight more and more and my opnion began to change. I think that Winky boxes Tito and doesn't get into wild exchanges he can frusterate and batter Trinidad similar to what Bernard Hopkins did in 2001. Honestly I don't want to see that happen but Tito is going to be dealing with a tall, rangy, hungry southpaw who is very tough to hit in the head when he isn't clowin around(like he did in the second Mosly fight). I would rather see Trinidad win but I think we will all be suprised on May 14th of the outcome. I am going with the upset Winky Wright TKO12. Now of course this is all if Winky boxes and moves around and keeps his hands up, if he trys to brawl with Trinidad it will be an easy win for Tito. I expect Winky to attempt to outbox Tito on May 14th(and I think he will).
For the last few years Winky hasn't been doing much moving and that will be his only chance. Moving and jabbing to try and keep Tito off of him. Tito will have to go to the body which I expect he will. Once Winky starts feeling those bodyshots any movement he does will begin to stop and Tito will eventually start cracking him upstairs. Winky does good for about 4 to 5 rounds and then Tito will start coming on in the middle rounds. The late rounds is where Tito will win the fight. Too much pressure and power but Winky will hold on long enough to lose a decision. If Winky stands in front of him like he says he will it will be a late stoppage.
Winky says he hasn't been hurt but Mosley stunned him in his last fight.
Winky's never been KO'd. Both his losses were UD's, and the one against Vargas....well, I had Winky ahead on my cards, let's put it that way. He hasn't lost in...what, 5 years or more? And whether he's a KO artist or not, he does have some power when he wants to set down on a punch. Since I've got an assload of cash on this fight I won't over-analyze it again here, but suffice it to say, I'm confident enough in Winky to put my entire year's betting fund on him without losing sleep over it. If I'm wrong, and Tito KO's Winky, you guys will have the pleasure of harping on me for losing so much on a bad pick for as long as you like :D
I can see Winky outboxing Tito just like DLH(for the first 10 rounds) and BHop did. I'm not gonna go on the record and say that Winky will beat Tito but I think that he definitely has the ability to do so. We also don't know how Winky will stand up to Titos firepower...Wright has a good chin but Tito is a top P4P power hitter.
This should be an interesting fight and I'm looking forward too it. I like both guys and I wouldn't mind seeing either guy win. Tito to help bring back excitment to the sport and fight Bernard again and Winky because he has paid his dues.
your right if Winky fights the right fight which would be to use is his legs a lot he can pull the upset...
Mayorga had did well in the fight with Tito for 2 minutes of just about every round and then he would clown around getting teed off on...Winky is much smarter than that and he will find that Tito's chin is wide open...he doesn't need to crack tito he just needs to hit him and get the fuck out of there...he does this and the Puerto Ricans will be crying.
