This fight is not getting any pub at all and I get the sense that most think it will be solid but probally a snooze fest. While it could certainly be that, I on the other hand think that this could be a block buster fight and should be getting way more pub.
How come no one is talking about this fight? Winky is P4P top 3 no matter what and Ike is a straight up beast. It could be ugly and boring because both of them tend to have alot of lulls in there fights and both of them fight just alike.
On the other hand, think about there styles? Winky tries to walk everyone down and has great size. He comes forward the whole fight and tries to ware you down. Ike also comes forward the whole fight and tries to walk you down. Ike is built like a truck. Both of these fighters thrive off of setting there will on there opponent and forcing them into a toe to toe fight. This could be awesome. They will come straight at eachother and throwing some nice shots, great jabs, and great D. This fight could be non stop action and a awesome fight. I cant wait to see it and it should be getting more pub because while Winky should be favored, no one is going to just walk through Ike and treat him like a pushover.
He's wanted this fight forever and thinks that Winky stole his style. It could be a upset in the making and it could be a back & forth high action fight with alot of great skill in the ring or it could be a borefest :-)
well u cant really compare the 2 fights just because they lasted the same amount of rounds...
H-H started out extremely fast. the Action started from the opening bell.
P-M started really slowly and picked up later on.
But i agree that PACQUIOA is arguably the most exciting fighter in the sport, and one of, if not the, best p4p punchers in the division
actually bro EM, although not the same el terible obviously nailed Pac with some good hard clean punches, its just Pac's chin, and heart brushed them off like it was just flies. You see EM did trade with Pac and all 3 rounds was pure action, excitement, drama etc etc.
Look at Hagler vs Hearns my friends that lasted only 4 rounds yet we compare all of our fights now to that one fight. You ever think about that my friend?
Hagler Hearns lasted 3 rounds....
and Hagler Hearns was a two-sided fight if there ever was one. Hagler was hurt in that first round and was bleeding badly. Hearns arguable WON that first round which is widely considered the greatest single round of boxing ever.
Sure Morales landed some good shots in that second round and at the end of the first, but all rounds were for Pacquoa, and quite clearly actually. It was a good fight, dont get me wrong. But fight of the year, or even remotely close the quality of HAGLER-HEARNS??? NOOOOOOOOO WAAAAAAYYYYYY
oya , si simone. Thats them alright...but Popeye Ceveta is a scumbag !!! hehe.
The Guy wit no top on is the token Mexican in EVERY movie EVER! He good tho! Wuts the pic from?
I think most fighters have figured out how to null the jab-defense combo of Winky Wright and theres only one way to do it. CONSTANT ACTION and CONSTANT THROWING.
Taylor did and he came really close, Vargas did it and he won, Soliman did it and he did extremely well, Mosley did the second time and it a lot closer of a fight.
u see what im saying...
hell naw this aint fight of the year. winky could never be in fight of the year because of his boring defensive, yet highly effective/successful style that would never be a fight of the year. fight of the year in my opinion is an all out WAR, with all trading, toe to toe non stop action. WINKY is none of that.
fight of the year already happened and i was sitting at it RINGSIDE it was called GRAND FINALE my friends! hollaaaaar
lol. Grand Finale was the most onesided fight i have ever seen on PPV. no where NEAR foty. Shouldnt, and wont, even get a mention
WRIGHT is TOO safe and consious to be in a war.
But i did think that the TAYLOR fight was FOTY year stuff, still my favorite fight possibly.
Wright brings a unique type of action that u cant really get from any other fighter in the sport.
Quartey is on his last straw and its easy to "feel" like u got robbed against a guy like WRIGHT.
In my honest opinion, if quartey is going to win this fight its going to be by KO. Hes gotta be throwing constantly. Hes gotta throw one-twos to keep away from Wrights jab. If he does that, then Wright is gonna try to set up some combinations.
I know winky wright well. Hes maybe my favorite fighter. And i know whent he guy is gonna be a great fight. This is definetly a matchup i want to see and it could and should show some fireworks.
Will it be FOTY? no. Watch the showtime card if u want that.
But if u dont have showtime will u be dissapointed? hell no!
Ike is just not an active enough fighter to beat Ronald. The man throws one punch at a time and it's mainly only the jab and the occasional baseball overhand right hand. I like the guy and all but saying he is gonna KO Ronald is absolutely dilusional.
I can see why peeps be sayin negative shit about this fight but i think it could actually turn out quite good, Winky closeISH Ud! That said id far rather be watchin Cotto vs Quintana but we dont get Showtime in the UK which blows more cocks than anything that has blown be4!
I wouldn't consider Quartey washed up at all. He's not in his prime anymore but has fought well since he's come back. He beat Verno Phillips, stopped Bojorquez, & arguably beat Vernon Forrest. Someone that should call it quits is Fernando Vargas because Quartey definitely doesn't belong in that same category.
Lol @ Bonafide.. nice avatar? You're a funny kid! A regular jokster hahahah! Not to mention, are those your uncles down there in that picture? Surenos x3 cholos? AMIRIGHT? LOL!
STFU Newbie bitch !
If those were my uncles...I'd be damn proud !
well people were saying that Wright-Taylor would be boring and look how good that fight was (and it wasn't just Taylor that made that fight, so don't even bother)... i'm def. looking forward to this fight come saturday night
I think this fight will be one sided. Wright is the better complete fighter. Plus with this fight being at 160lbs. Wright should be stronger.
Quartey is good but his defense isn't the best.
