Winky Wright countdown question

[tyl3rdurd3n]

Just a few question about the countdowns to Wright Hopkins and Wright Taylor

Which one did you think was better?

also which one shown better training info?


thanks

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!

I liked Hopkins-Wright about a million times more.

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!

I just thought that would be a nice reference point in order to keep those links alive and to let people watch what was being said about the fights before they happened!

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.

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.

Classic quote from that countdown "we got to outsmart that old ****" or whatever he said, it was funny as hell though.

Best quote from Countdown to Hopkins-Wright:

"This is a fight where, comparitive opponents seem to say, this will be a close fight. Bernard Hopkins dominated Felix Trinidad, so did Winky. Hopkins has two very close to even fights with Jermain Taylor, and Winky Wright had an even fight with Jermain Taylor. These are two, stubborn OLD MEN. Who both believe basically that they've won all their fights!" - Jim Lampley
