Last night on PPV Winky Wright was brilliant in beating Tito Trinidad. Everybody is saying how Corrales-Castillo last week was one of the greatest fights of All-Time but, me personally, I would rather watch this fight than that type of fight any day. Wright showed what boxing was really all about. The jab is the most important punch there is and he showed that in perfect fashion. I always tell Chad Dawson that and I called him today and told him again that he has the potential to do that almost every fight. A guy with a good jab should control his fights and if he can do that he won't even have to throw so many hooks, uppercuts, overhand shots etc etc. The jab can make a hard night easy. Winky Wright clearly illustrated that last night. At times looked he was sparring and I mean that in a good way. Fighters will understand what I mean when I say that. I have boxed that well in the gym with guys because in the gym I am so relaxed and I am sure other guys will say the same thing. The jab popping the same way, avoiding punches as effortlessly as he did. Having that relaxed, walk-in-the-park look on your face the whole time. Winky, though, he did it in a real fight under extreme pressure and made it look like a gym session. You don't see very many guys as relaxed, calm, organized and calculated as Winky was last night. It was great to watch!!Only a few guys can box as well and as relaxed in real fights as they do in the gym. James Toney does. Roy Jones can. And now I say Winky does, too.
I also predicted the fight pretty accurately on the AOL message board.

"WINKY will stay with the plan, he's a true professional. A lot of professionalism. Same with Tito but Wink has the style edge and southpaw edge and that good, pesky jab. He is also has UNDER rated strength on his side, too. I think back to Dave Reid outboxing until he got a little too excited, brash, got outof hi splan and Tito came back to trounce him. I think Wink has the tools and the mind to finish that job tonight. I won't bet though LOL because Tito has that kind of power, desire and will that can change a fight just... like... that. If I bet a dollar, though, a I go with Winky on a 12 round decision."
