Flu or not, Wright was not right

[tracylee]

Winky was very sloppy due to probably the flu.Winky came in the at 171 pounds.

for real..that alone speaks volumes. How anyone can blame his performance on anything other than a pretty heavy sickness is beyond me. He looked terrible, and I'm not talking skill wise either. He should have been home in bed. Props to him for fighting in that shape.

head cold/chest cold != flu. Don't get me wrong, Wright definitely was affected by it, but as anyone who has had the flu will tell you, it is quite different from a cold. If wink had the flu he probably would have fell asleep on the way to the ring.

sigh....I know. I love a great ko every once in a while too, but I'm more than happy with a technician, which is what Winky is. It's not exactly his fault he doenst have alot of power (Ive always heard that a good chin and power..born with it or youre not) so he's done the only thing he can do...become superb at BOXING. Good for him. Sam was lunging and throwing in heavy volume, but landing very little. Clean, effective punches and all that, ya know

Trinidad must be pulling off his hair after seeing this fight(if he saw it). To have a chance against Wright, you need to throw lots of punches to stop his jab and to break his shell defense. Soliman had little skill, but had stamina and punch volume like Margarito. Trinidad should return, since the middleweight division is undergoing a transformation now.

Another thing, I think that Mayorga could do a great job against Wright. We'll see what happens.

No way I was very impressed with the way winky handled soliman. Like merchant said predicting what soliman is gonna do next is like predicting where a fly is going to land. Winky did a great job punching whne he had to. He hit this guy with very clean shots. I agree that Trinidad could have done better by throwing more punches but Winky would destroy margarito and mayorga.

for sure...winky would pick mayorga apart. simply being a thug and a bully isnt enough when in against a supreme technician....power punches only count when you land them.

exactly. I don't get why these people get down on a fighter when they don't look flawless for one fight.

I think people stay down on winky cause he's not an exciting power puncher. I love a great technician...a stick and mover. KO's are great sure...but BOXING is what it's all about. Anybody can throw a punch, but can they box circles around their opponet??

Those who love Wright and have not seen enough of Iván Calderón will fall in love once they see him. Calderón is P4P material.

because of the style of soliman - he's a swarmer, and the classic boxer ( which is what winky is ) worst enemy is the swarmer. soliman still couldn't land ****, i think he threw like 1200 punches and landed 14 or something, in the fight that i saw, wright didn't look in top shape but he used his skills and pulled out the win. i give soliman props though, the boy's tough and he's got heart
