Winky Wright vs. Arthur Abraham in Early 2009?

[T-97]

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

I thought Hopkins beat him, although it was very close.

Boring, Boring, Boring... Boring styles= really boring fight... Reminds me of that borefest called Hopkins/Winky.

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

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.

A rusty winky cannot eat the abrahammer for 12 rounds. And I don't think the fight will be dull. Winky will be fighting for his life in this one. Not likely a technical spoiling match IMO.

If this fight gets made you to will lose your points to me

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

That's kinda what I meant. I just think it will be an interesting fight. I'm curious to see how they deal with one another. They will both have to deviate from their normal styles in order to win because if the both just **** around waiting for the other to throw a punch, it will be a very close and boring fight. I think Winky might continue to take more risks like he's done in his past few fights.

Pavlik vs. Winky or Pavlik vs. Abraham would be far more exciting but I still will look forward to this fight if it happens.

I agree, I think Abraham takes it but I don't see him KOing Winky..

On the other hand, wink has been inactive for so long that it's hard to say how he will do.

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.

Only if PAv refuses the fight if he beats Hop.

how did u score it?

I can't remember my exact scorecard tbh. I know I had it to Hopkins, I think 115-113 or there-abouts. I only scored it once, I don't feel like watching it again Wasn;t exactly Hopkins or Winkys best nights excitement wise

Sorry T. I misread your post.
