V3 - Paul Williams / Winky

[BUNK MORELAND]

looks like -188 Paul
+168 Winky


why not take a shot in this one with winky

and what's the chances of a draw ..

i remember when Winky fought Taylor the odds of a draw was 17-1 ...


ANY THOUGHTS ?

Winky has been MIA for way too long. You are talking about july 07, almost 2 full years ago. That is some serious ring rust. So you are basically handicapping yourself the first 3 rounds, until he gets into his rythm again. Bieng the technical fighter that he is (relying on points to win), he cannot afford to give the first couple rounds away. I'm not saying that he will for sure, but chances are he starts out cold and very tentative...especially since Williams has some pop. His 2 arm pillar defense will be up for a while.

This fight is at 160, which he is 3-1-1 in. I agree with the Taylor call, but it was still very close. Out of his 3 wins, the only notable one was against Trinidad who also retired after that.

His loss came to Hopkins who is tall and lanky like Williams, but with less power.

Winky isn't a bad play, its just hard for me to bet on him. He is going to have to start round 1 ready to go. His defense isn't a question. The guy is one of the best in the game when it comes to defensive skills. It's offense that he has to rely on to win this one and he is going to have a very hard time getting on the inside.

I've got a UD for Williams. I'm not a Paul Williams fan, and I have a hard time putting him in the top 5 in that division...I just think he can get past Winky in this one.

Hey Wonka so I think I might put some on Wright now. Paul opened at -190 on my book, and I saw it at -220, and now its at -240!!!! That's pretty crazy. The majority of times that I see one sided betting like that in boxing, it ends up bieng wrong.

Winky at a tempting +190

Going to wait till the last minute on this one. It's just that long ass layoff, and Williams look like a giraffe standing next to him.

Winky has looked old, and rusty in the gym.

Whether you like Williams or not, he's world class talent. The like is ONLY -240 for him because of Wright's name recognition.

I'm on Williams big.

[V3r1f13d]

It moved back to -220

I like Williams as well, and I think I am going to go with my initial instinct and play it. Just a little tentative right now, going to wait till 7 to place.

WILLIAMS! Too tall, too long, too strong.

Winky's been away FOREVER.

2 UNITS - Williams by decision (-125) :beerbang:

[BUNK MORELAND]

+190 Winky

3 units on Winky +190



i like this spot for WINKY ...

His defense is so damn good and this layoff could be a good thing actually

WILLIAMS! Too tall, too long, too strong.

Winky's been away FOREVER.

2 UNITS - Williams by decision (-125) :beerbang:

GOOD FIGHT TONIGHT coming up !!!!

been waiting all day for this one

[V3r1f13d]

Maybe it's time for an upset. I'll join Wonka on this one...

Wright 1 For 1.9

Hopkins pulled the upset against Pavlik.
Mosley pulled it against Margarito.
Wright is part of the same era, so I can't count him out.

-240 is just ridiculous to me. Williams should win a close UD, but I will take the +190 to fade myself and have Winky work magic.

Winky needs to be ready at the sound of the first bell, I dont want to see any slack...

By the way, that was a good first show for Pac vs Hatton 24/7

Kudos for you guys for having the balls to play Wright.

Wish I would of got a better line, but oh well.

[BUNK MORELAND]

horrible fight

worst performance of Wright's career

YOU GOT TO MIX IT UP WITH paul williams

make it a fight , Wright just let him stay outside and throw a thousand punches LITERALLY

Williams Pavlik would be interesting ..

B - HOP maybe !!!!!

[xHeroOfTheDayx]

The way he looked in the gym, I don't know how anyone could lay on Wright. The ring rust obviously shows, but you can't start your comeback with a guy like Williams.. that's just stupid.

Regardless, it was nice to see Wright back where he belongs.
