Winky Wright countdown question

"I'm around the street and I get beat up by a guy around the corner, right? Then, I go get the guy that he already beat up to help me...*looks around* that make sense to you?!" ~Hopkins in reference to Winky Wright who had Trinidad at his camp LOL I love Hopkins' delivery on that line.

"We have to be tricky with this old fuck!" - Dan Birmingham Great line. ^

I liked Hopkins-Wright about a million times more. HaHA.. Bionic Hopkins. :fing02:

I don't remember either countdown too well

Classic quote from that countdown "we got to outsmart that old fuck" or whatever he said, it was funny as hell though. "We have to be tricky with this old fuck!" - Dan Birmingham

Yeah, the way it plays out is more interesting. The analogy of both fighters as chess players, the only fighters (at the time) to have beaten Trinidad, etc. Not to mention, Hopkins dissing Wright. It just makes for a better countdown. I seriously went berserk downloading those countdown shows in your thread, DWiens! I watch them every now and then, they pump you up! :boxing: Classic quote from that countdown "we got to outsmart that old fuck" or whatever he said, it was funny as hell though.

yea i found your thread thats where i get the countdowns from its great lol, but yea i jsut wasn't sure which was a better countdown to get either the wright taylor or wright hopkins? and i like the stuff about the trainin and gym work so jsut wanted to know, but from this i think hopkins wright is better and ahs more gym and training in it. correct?? Winky-Taylor is a lot of history about Winky's career, and most of the focus is on Taylor. Winky-Hopkins has a lot about their upcoming fight (at the time) and does have some focus on what they do in the gym. Also, watch the Hopkins vs. Wright: Coming to Fight video on youtube that is produced by Golden Boy. It's a great little 4 minute video.

By the way, TylerDurden (with numbers instead of letters), search for "HBO Countdowns" in the video trading block. Both links are active in that thread.

It depends. It seems you're interested in Winky, right? Winky/Taylor I think was the first countdown in which Winky's career is shown. Winky/Hopkins Shows Hopkins training here and there, more gym footage. It's funnier with Hopkins making fun of Wright saying that he had his seconds (if you haven't seen it, you can see it on youtube, I think). It also shows Wright's comfort in training despite being in a distracting city such as Las Vegas and his weakness towards Krispy Kreme donuts!
