How Can A Weight Drained Abraham beat A Rusty Winky?

[AustralianBoxin]

Arthur Abraham is extremely weight drained at 160. I have noticed this over his last 3 fights at the weight. He has a poor workrate, fantastic power, and average speed.

But the thing is, Winky isn't drained at this weight. And Winky's defence and chin, means Abraham won't win through a stoppage.

Now going to the points. I think Winky has way to much for Arthur. In terms of attackive arsenal. The jab is crisp, and the follow up is accurate.

This is going to be Arthurs first fail.

We really don't know how good Winky is now, or how much he's got left.

Abraham doesn't throw that many punches, however he seems to carry his power through the whole 12 rounds, so I think his stamina is probably very good, and he seems to be able to up the tempo when he needs to.

I do think that their fight will be a bit of a snoozer though (if they do end up fighting).

This would be a tough one to call. I'd reckon Winky on points, but how much as he lost from his long absence....

Winky fought his last fight at 170 and since that he eat 15 monts + the months to come crispy stuff. He has to make his own diet.
Winky's chin is above average not great, he just has a very good defense, but brings a lot of ring rust to the ring. His punches didn't looked good against Hopkins by the way he threw em

winky' shin is slightly overrated imo, as xerwas said its good but not great, its his defense and reflexes that allow him to box so effectively and make sure that he donesn't get tagged to often and that he rolls with the punches.

imo arthur though has a monster punch and he can hurt winky, this does have the potential to be boring fight though. neither fighter looks to take the fight to the opponent and neither fighter throws alot of punches, but it would be interesting to see how arthur does against an intelligent fighter like winky.

Winky sometimes throws a lot.
Against Quartey he was above 1000 or do I remember wrong? Against Taylor it was also a lot and against Soliman it was ok.
You can't throw much against Hopkins.
But inacitivy and age won't favor his workrate. So I agree there won't be that much punches from him and of course not much from Abraham.

"Rusty Winky" sounds like a dirty word.

Winky will be ko'ed in the championship rounds. AA will work Winkys body early setting up the Abrahammer.

have you ever seen someone work winkys body????
his reflexes are too good....he always has his arms in place to headshots or bodyshots.....

not to mention abraham is a headhunter.....and he himself has a terrible defense to bodyshots.....
