As the bell clanged to end the eighth round of his bout with Sam Soliman, Winky Wright gave his opponent a tap on the rear end and a few words of competitive encouragement.
And as the bells jingle to signify the upcoming Christmas holiday, Wright should send Soliman a token of gratitude – a card, a gift, even a fruitcake – as appreciation for the after effects of the Floridian’s fiftieth win, a unanimous decision over the unorthodox Aussie.
If Winky should opt to pal-around at a pub, purchasing a pint of Foster’s – Soliman is, after all, Australian for awkward – he can get punch drunk with celebration, worshiping King Sam for doing what Tito Trinidad could not, and making a Wright fight entertaining, an affair beyond the typical one-sided, dominating performance.
When Wright made his middleweight debut in May against Trinidad, he was too effective, shutting out the former three-division champion, punishing him with a stiff jab, strong left crosses and hard hooks, wiping out the Puerto Rican and sending him, tail between his legs, back into retirement.
It was a magnificent showing, the kind of displaying of talent against a high-quality foe that pay-per-views should be limited to, a great night on a grand stage, a unique event that unfortunately led to more of the same for the veteran Wright. [details]
