In case you didn’t hear about the Paul Williams vs. Winky Wright fight, it wasn’t a fight. Williams, whom looks like Big L, put the smacketh down on Winky.
Here’s Wright’s problem,
It’s going to continue to be a problem, for obvious reasons. Who wants to deal with a 6-foot-2 southpaw with a good chin, respectable power and stamina to throw punches in bunches for three minutes of every round?
Oh yeah, there’s also his 82-inch reach, which is an inch longer than that of heavyweight titleholder Wladimir Klitschko. Think about that for a minute.
He has too much reach like the toothbrush. Eventually, Williams will have to pack on the pounds and fight as a heavyweight. Williams almost has 8 foot reach. He’s short by 2 inches. Sportaphile gave Williams shout out a long time ago. This cat is a problem.
This brings up a logical question. Who wants to step in the right with a 6’2″ boxer with a wingspan near 8 feet? Exactly. No one. So he will have to keep goin up in weight classes.
In the bout, Williams threw 1,086 punches. That averages out to 90.5 punches per round. Each round is only 3 minutes long. That’s a bit more than 30 punches a minute. One punch every two seconds. Stank-0 feels sorry for Winky that’s an onslaught.
