“Fighting Words” – Winky’s Wonderful Weekend

In the eyes of many, Ronald “Winky” Wright was to have been sacrificed at the altar of Felix “Tito” Trinidad last weekend at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, but in the time leading up to his biggest event ever, Wright remained confident, and over the course of twelve rounds easily slayed the shark that had meant to devour him. This week’s edition of Fighting Words comes to you a day late, but not a dollar short, as it is chock full of commentary concerning Winky’s victory, Tito’s retirement, Zab Judah’s easy win and the general barrenness of the welterweight division, Don King and Larry Merchant acting the insensitive fools on television, and the other magnificent mixed bag that will wrap up this column in The Ten Count. details]
