Winky Wright vs. Arthur Abraham in Early 2009?

[T-97]

According to Ult. Winky was about to fight Mundine?? I think BPP needs to get some better sources for info

No, remember Winky is ducking Mundine for the much easier oppenent, Abraham.

He said that Mundine will fight Ouma if he can make 160, or Manfredo Jr at SMW. Both top notch!

FOTY candidate.

Two great defensive fighters, I doubt it. I love AA and Winky's aight but this is not a fight I would want to watch.

I don't see the logic in taking the Wright fight before the PAvlik fight. Cal is not fighting Pav. After the Hop fight, Pav-Abraham can be made.

It's likely because Pavlik doesn't plan on fighting the dangerous Abraham just yet. Arthur is a stay-busy fighter and this Winky fight is an excellent move from his management.

it wouldnt be action packed im sure but it would be a pretty intriguing match up, one that i would like to see for sure,

If it is a plan to get exposure, I have to disagree. It is the worst style match up possible for Abraham IMO.

Yeah but I think Winky's guard is a little better.

Yeah, Winky does have a more solid guard but not by a lot from what I've seen. Abraham likes to cover up and counter much like Wink.

I agree with T, this might be a somewhat boring fight but I still think it's a good match up skillwise. Let's see if Winky has anything left.

I wonder if they may try to set up a Double Header in January to hype the fight for later 2009.

They don't need anymore hype, because they will still be unknown. This fight won't be made because it doesn't make sense. There is a small chance the fight could be made IF, and that's a big IF Cal wants to fight Pav, and Ab has no fight scheduled.

[ragingvic]

Im not sure if you guys know but Winky turned this fight down several months ago because he said AA was a nobody. I would love for AA to do the same to him and keep his ass retired.

Skillwise, it's an interesting fight. But this is one fight I will not get pumped for, Two guys who fight behind solid guards, Abraham isn't the most active fighter (Punch wise) from what I have seen. I see it being Winkys Jabbing Abrahams guard and Abraham coming back with flurries of power shots from time to time and winning a UD or a Late TKO depending on what Winkys got left..

Of course, I may be way off with my assesment of Abraham as I have not seen a lot of him, and don't feel exactly compelled to do so either tbh

winky is gona win this for sure but im kinda worried since hes been inactive since july 21 07 i think winky is one of the greatest of this era he should really only have 1 loss (julio ceaser vasquez)...winky beat vargas,mosley,trinidad,taylor,quartey, and hopkins, even thou his record says 4 losses he truly lost once
