Winky is a tough SOB!!!

Much props to Wink... showed a ton of heart, in this fight i'd say size outweighed skill.... Pauls just a freak not to mention his workrate

Winky fought Solimon who also threw 1000+ punches and still won that fight, it was ugly but winky won rather easy. So in my prediction I said volume wouldnt bother winky. But then again I didnt expect 1000 punches from Williams. Williams also kept he distance and DID use his reach. I dont understand people saying he dont use his reach cause he loops his shots, he threw from just out of winkys reach all night. That dude is crazy, looks like a spider or something with those long arms all over the place. Winky just couldnt dictate the fight, Williams didnt show any respect for Winkys stiff jab, which previous opponents did. Williams also was better defensively than I thought and slipped a lot of winkys shots. Winky actually outlanded Solimon in total punches even though he threw half of what Solimon did. Winky wasnt able to do the same with PW. I think Winky lost some speed but he was in good shape otherwise and not completely shot as some thought would happen. He did show good mental strength and focus by staying in the fight all 12 and maintaining a 22-23% connect rate on williams 1000 punches. Blocking or avoiding 800 punches would make most people go crazy.

Winky isn't a power puncher while Paul Williams punches in bunches and from all different angles. I didn't expect Williams to knock Wright out but he won the fight by outworking Winky. It was still a decent effort by Winky. A lot of boxers would have been hit a lot more than Winky had they fought Williams.

I dont think winky could have beat paul williams at any point of his career... Williams is just a bad match up for winky Agreed...........

considering the fact that: he had a 2 year layoff is 37 is a defenseive fighter doesnt have much power throws mostly jabs fought someobody who throws a 1000 punches, has a bigger reach, is 10 years younger and much taller i think winky did well... no way he shoudl retire

never was that big fan of winky but i respect the hell out of him....true world class, hard ass nails pro who should go to the HOF.

Wright was never endanger so physical toughness was never in play. He did show mental toughness though, standing in in a fight with a guy who wouldnt stop throwing..... Wasnt Williams low output for a round in the mid-80s?

Yeah, Winky is very tough. I was impressed he was still able to pick off a lot of Williams punches early on like he used to in his prime. But Williams enormous work rate got to him. Williams is undoubtedly a beast.

thats the wink, he got dropped 5 times in his first HUGE step up in class and finished the fight.....now a very rusty and old him got hit with some good shts and didnt stop trying... i wish he retires......nothing else he can do......

He was getting hit with some shots that would've dropped the normal man. Winky IS one tough SOB. It's time for him to retire though.

Never bought him bein stopped, but my fear of him gettin outworked came to life. I'm glad he fought his ass off til the end without resignin to defeat tho.
