Anbody who saw the fight tonight has to agree, that this man will kill boxing if he continues having the belt.
He also showed a lot of weaknesses. Despite outweighing the guy about 10-20 pounds tonight (if you ask Lampley), Soliman had no visible damage on his face.
Also, wasn't Emmanuel Steward an ass, by calling Soliman "amateurish" and "off the streets"?
it wasnt no flu he had a cold... besides you gotta give solimon props.... the guy threw over 1200 punches lol and winky whas 11 pounds more heavy than soliman....soliman took sum good shots and winky wouldve had the best chance to knock him out because of his awkward style....soliman whas off balance most of the fight...winky couldve knocked him out but couldnt..
everyone one whas booin winky when he won... so much of the fans lol im not hating i jus think that winky couldve done better..
DUDE, THE GUY'S NEVER BEEN KNOCKED DOWN. The guy has had what? almost 40 fights and never has been knocked down? We all already knew WINKY's no power puncher. How else was he going to win? Did you think he was going to go into the fight and put on some crazy performance and run around the ring and fight like someone else? Unfortunately, some of us who's been boxing for a while appreciates it.
Winky OUTWEIGHED THE GUY BY A GOOD TEN POUNDS AT LEAST and the dude had little to any marks in the face and he was taking jabs all night being "very amateurish" and "off the streets" according to Steward. If that dudes defense was slightly better, I think there would have been an upset. Soliman showed Winky isnt as elusive as some might think.
what the fuck is your beef with Winky? Wright fought as good a fight as can be fought against guys like Soliman. Soliman DID look amateurish. Do you call the way he was fighting a "style" cuz I sure as hell don't. It was moderately effective, but that was the only way that fight was going to go. For Christ's sake, Winky almost stopped him so don't tell me he fought a bad fight.

Give Winky Props He Knew Beforehand He Was Gonna Fight A Very Akward Fighter And Did Anyways Having The Flu. Also Give Sam Props He Has Mad Stamina, Heart, And Possibly A Good Chin(if Winky Was A Puncher, Sam Would Def.had A Chin). Sure Sams Skill Is Awful But Hes Well Motivated And Hed Give Any Middleweight Problems, At This Stage Hed Give Hopkins A Run For His Money Since The Old Man Has Aged Finally And Throws Like 30 Punches A Round.
if anything the fighters are keeping the sport alive. there are many things that are killing boxing. shit if u dont like the way he fights just dont watch.
i think a flu can really fuck u up. lets all catch it and try to fight soliman with it. i think we all get ktfo
I dunno. I've got about 70 lbs on the guy. Can I try it with pneumonia to make it a little more even?;)
You're right, I do have respect for him as a boxer... but the thing is, what attribute does this guy have that is jaw dropping or spectacular? Nothing --> boring in my book.
Ouma was boring too, the exact opposite of Winky, but similar to Winky too. All offense, no defense. Both threw punches just to say they landed, but Oumas output was 10 times what Winky is.
imsoflyy please stop. u should respect any fighter in boxing. i remember u saying that u can do the same extact defense does. shit is alot harder than it looks.
anyone would look confused against a fighter with that crazy/akward style
Exactly, Sam is a machine and does nothing but throws punches. If your going to give Winky problems your going to have to fight like Sam.

No, I do appreciate boxing. I really do. Floyd is great, but he's throwing punches back. I even liked Cory Spinks' fights.
But I think Winky said it himself before the fight in his vignette, "I dont care about knocking the fighter out and Im just in there to go the distance" . THAT IS KILLING THE SPORT.
I'm talking about the flu, I know what you mean though bro..
I think if he didn't have the flu he would've looked a LOT better..

Many people will think I'm using that as a excuse..
but it's the truth..
When you get the flu and can't get out of bed...

Thank you!!
So many people just don't understand the sport...
No, Soliman did look amateurish. He landed 14% of his total punches! I don't care who fought Soliman, they would look bad. Taylor wouldn't know what to do either. I think this fight shows that A)Winky can take plenty of shots if he has to, and B) He can adjust to a crazy style and still dominate the fight regardless of what the two idiots that scored it 115-113/2 say.
