Winky can fight going backwards, he just doesn't do it much anymore because of his style but when he was younger, he could certainly fight effectively going backwards. I'm not sure if he has the legs to do it anymore though.Taylor doesnt do that anymore.
But the point im making is, you will NEVER EVER EVER see Pavlik have his back to the ropes against Wright. He doesnt fight like that.
Wright cannot fight going backwards. In Fact, i dont think i've ever even seen him try.
Pavlik is bigger and stronger, and his pressure is much more relentless. I think we can all agree that this fight will be waged center ring and will be an "in-fight"
Wright can't do much on the inside but jab 1-2. Pavlik would just be able to whale away on Wright without worrying about getting nailed in return because Wright isnt a power puncher AND Pavlik has a sturdy chin.
Pavlik has a great left hook/uppercut to the body that he rarely uses. That would be his money punch against Wright.
I think if only one guy could stop Wright, that guy would be Pavlik. Terrible terrible styles matchup for Wright, and a perfect fight for Pavlik to be given at this stage of his career. A fight he would probably win, against a name in the sport, and in a fight that would be undoubtedly crowd pleasing.
Winky doesn't just throw 1-2s on the inside, he punches to the body, throws hooks etc. But his best punches are the jab and straight left.
I agree with the rest.Comment
