DiBella Underwhelmed by Winky
by Andre Courtemanche
Lou DiBella, promoter of undisputed middleweight champ Jermain Taylor, was left more than a little turned off by the performance of WBC/WBA #1 contender Winky Wright tonight in his fight against Sam Soliman. Wright won a much closer than expected unanimous decision in a middleweight eliminator at the Mohegan Sun. “You think Jermain is afraid of this guy?” asked DiBella rhetorically. “That fight was much too close. I applaud Sam Soliman for his tremendous level of conditioning, but he was basically an amateurish fighter.” DiBella says that Wright’s showing will do little to create interest in a Taylor vs. Wright showdown. “Well fight him when it makes sense. This was just…put it this way, when you have four thousand people in a ten thousand seat arena and they’re booing at the end, it’s doesn’t do anything to build anticipation for a fight. I think that all Wright showed tonight was that only Bernard Hopkins can make a fighter look worse against him, but after this performance, a fight with Jermain certainly needs more building before it can be made.”

This is bull****.

I hope he's just doing this to justify the fight in Arkansas, not to push the fight back further than late summer-early fall. If thats the case, its a joke

that is EXACTLY what a snake like DiBella is supposed to say after a fight like this was.

man, i hate the whole team around Taylor.

No this makes sense. Mainly Wright = no money. Unless its in Arkansas noone will come watch the fight. Im sure Taylors next fight will make people call him exciting again and Wright MUST find a fight that makes him look good, if not it's going to be hard to get a fight with Taylor. Winky was supposed to dominate Soliman remember?

Winky has unified the #1 positions. Dibella should stop being a ***** and let Taylor and Winky get it on.

[-Jay-]

Run forest run, and not to mention Winky was bloody sick too... Karma for a gret post on the way btw.

[gattifan24]

Who would be a guy to make Winky look good? Felix Sturm wouldn't make him look great. Its too bad he didn't get a big fight to ride the momentum of the Trinidad fight which is getting farther in the rearview

I think Jermain stands a good chance to beat Winky... I think there is no need to run from Winky

Dibella may be right though concerning marketing the fight to the public

[Grimgash]

Fight anyone he feels he can KO. Granted he'd have to fight people with losing records...then hed get no credit....so really he can't fight anyone like that. Taylor will fight in Arkansas next and Wright will have one more. Wright better pick the perfect choice....

[restless_438]

Wright better pick the perfect choice....

i think that's irrelevent. God, you clowns are overreacting ridiculously to this fight tonight, you'd think Wright got easily beaten or something.
