Winky Wright was the Eddie Perkins of his generation. Fought everyone, wasn't scared to fight them in their backyards, held his own with everyone, and ends up getting forgotten. Real boxing fans will know how good he was though.

X showed his pedigree in this fight. Needed all those tricks to win, not an easy style but handled his biz in a very effective manner. Won from the outside using mobility and pivoting around using timed attacks. Strength negated winks inside game, grabbing is part of the sport. Tyson Fury, Hopkins, Ali, Andre ward all employ grappling tactics to smother attacks. It’s bending the rules not breaking them.Gruelling fight, both guys exceptional fighting when tired. That’s the name of game. Best sport ever despite all the bs

This fight could have gone either way...had Winky fought like Winky. B-Hop made him chase and then hit him when he wasn't ready. Hopkins won ALL the inside battles. Winky threw a lot of wild punches....outta frustration. Regardless if he was holding too much or not, Hopkins landed the harder, cleaner shots. Punch & grab is a true boxing technique, clearly Winky didn't prepare for at least one of B-Hop's strengths...

Facts. It's what's effective that matters
@VersatyleTV12 ай бұрын
I actually don't think they have a ton in common to be honest. They are both defensive, but that is about where it stops. Hopkins employs lateral movement, head movement inside, and counterpunching to limit opposition punch output to one punch at a time. On the other hand, Wright stands stationary, puts his guard up, blocks as many punches as his opponent can throw, and then counters with his jab. Hopkins showed superiority here, but I don't think either is a poor man's version of the other.

One thing I didn’t like about this fight was Hopkin’s excessive holding. He usually likes to tie up his opponent and fight the insight game, (which I appreciate), but I only saw that in the last 3 rounds. And maybe even the 1st round, but for the most part there was a lot of holding. I thoughts the fight was a lot closer as well, but Wright did seem to lose quite a bit of steam the last five rounds. Which only led to more holding from Hopkins. Two great fighters, but not their best work.

This wasn’t a bad fight despite how ugly it was. Probably one of the most hideous fights I’ve ever seen. But both guys worked very hard this whole fight and relied mostly on power punches on the inside, which is the exact opposite of what I expected. Here’s how I scored it: Round 1: 10/9 Hopkins Round 2: 9/10 Wright (19-19) Round 3: 9/10 Wright (28-29) Round 4: 9/10 Wright (37-39) Round 5: 10/9 Hopkins (47-48) Round 6: 10/9 Hopkins (57-57) Round 7: 10/9 Hopkins (67-66) Round 8: 10/9 Hopkins (77-75) Round 9: 10/9 Hopkins (87-84) Round 10: 10/9 Hopkins (97-93) Round 11: 10/9 Hopkins (107-102) Round 12: 10/9 Hopkins (117-111) I ended up with a 117-111 scorecard for Bernard Hopkins, and had him completely sweeping the last 8 rounds of the fight. Most of the rounds were tough to score, but I saw Hopkins using his size advantage on the inside and landing the harder punches, and Wright just looked sloppy to me in rounds 10-12.

@@adrianswanigan8332 Yea that's a tough one. Lennox Lewis tells a story how he once went down to where Holyfield was training and he had a tire hanging by ropes that he would practice headbutting on. Holyfield and Hopkins were so sneaky with it. As soon as an opponent would complain to the ref Evander would hit you with like a 3 piece combo so that you had to move past it quickly. Hopkins was such a horribly dirty fighter in every way. In his rematch with Roy he desperately tried to get Roy DQ'd by hitting Roy behind the head, and when Roy would retaliate, Hopkins would drop to the ground like he'd just been shot. In his first fight against Chad Dawson he realized he couldh't win so he faked an injury to have the fight stopped,later called a NC

I wonder if Winky developed his style in part with the thought of defeating his Florida rival Roy Jones. Its a style designed to pressure and rush his opponent by way of coming in with a shelled up high gaurd, to take away the distance, and unload volume from there. I've been studying Roy Jones lately, and it struck me that Winky employs an almost opposite style to Roy. Both fighters were great in their own way.

One problem with Winky is lack of power. He's landing shots, but even his "clean" shots aren't moving Hopkins backwards. There's no real pop. Both fighters.... Man boxing is hard. But Hopkins SHOULD OF BEEN penalized multiple times for holding. That's how Winky should of won.

The headbutt cut on Winky Wright is more an upper eyelid cut . It is lower, closer to the eye and more medically dangerous than an eyebrow cut . that cut gets any deeper it could possibly damage Wright's vision permanently in that eye . Its similar to the cut Vitali Klitschko suffered from a punch by Lennox Lewis . It was deeper and you could actually see the white of upper part of Klitschko's eyeball . The referee saw the danger and correctly stopped the fight

Winky was a problem for any fighter he met and I haven't seen anybody even coming close to solving this problem. Bernard solved it with his extra dirtiness in this fight ...
Winky was my favourite fighter in this era he fought everybody and I think all the other fighters he faced would say he was there toughest fight
X showed his pedigree in this fight. Needed all those tricks to win, not an easy style but handled his biz in a very effective manner. Won from the outside using mobility and pivoting around using timed attacks. Strength negated winks inside game, grabbing is part of the sport. Tyson Fury, Hopkins, Ali, Andre ward all employ grappling tactics to smother attacks. It’s bending the rules not breaking them.Gruelling fight, both guys exceptional fighting when tired. That’s the name of game. Best sport ever despite all the bs

This fight could have gone either way...had Winky fought like Winky. B-Hop made him chase and then hit him when he wasn't ready. Hopkins won ALL the inside battles. Winky threw a lot of wild punches....outta frustration. Regardless if he was holding too much or not, Hopkins landed the harder, cleaner shots. Punch & grab is a true boxing technique, clearly Winky didn't prepare for at least one of B-Hop's strengths...

Facts. It's what's effective that matters
I actually don't think they have a ton in common to be honest. They are both defensive, but that is about where it stops. Hopkins employs lateral movement, head movement inside, and counterpunching to limit opposition punch output to one punch at a time. On the other hand, Wright stands stationary, puts his guard up, blocks as many punches as his opponent can throw, and then counters with his jab. Hopkins showed superiority here, but I don't think either is a poor man's version of the other.
Exactly.
Mmm, I do see the similarities but I agree
Facts. Winky originally used to fight a little more like Hopkins (without the inside fighting) on the backfoot, using the jab but over time experimented with the high guard and developed his high guard defense.
Love that Bernard Hopkins had John David Jackson in his corner
I think a few of Winky Wright’s Losses could’ve been Wins. This one I would’ve been happy with a Draw
Vargas fight should had been a draw too.
Great interview by Hopkins, I think he won the fight but it was a close fight and he gave winky credit for being good!

That was a professionally delivered, well timed and placed head butt by Hopkins. He gained momentum coming off the ropes as Wright was going in to punch. When you look at in slow mo, it's quite telling.
He’s so good at it. Or jab right hand head or shoulder bam

he low key dirty fighter af😩 this is one of those fights when a ref loves hugging. when you allow holding to dictate the fight, it'll be boring all night long and never worth you paying for it
@@nassiglutt6587 Example, Haney v. Kambosos. Haney did what he had to do to win, but he held excessively. I thought this to be a very boring fight because Haney fought inside rarely...controlling the offense with a consistent jab, and Kambosos' inside offense was non-existent.
Headbutt in boxing is sucka shit. If you can't win straight up...than go fight outside boxing. Judges should be all over that like they do low blows.
I wish my boyfriend would hug me as much as these two guys hugged throughout the whole fight.

🤣 🤣 🤣 Older fighters usually do that. Watch Hopkins earlier fights and he was more of a seek and destroy fighter.
Lol
One thing I didn’t like about this fight was Hopkin’s excessive holding. He usually likes to tie up his opponent and fight the insight game, (which I appreciate), but I only saw that in the last 3 rounds. And maybe even the 1st round, but for the most part there was a lot of holding. I thoughts the fight was a lot closer as well, but Wright did seem to lose quite a bit of steam the last five rounds. Which only led to more holding from Hopkins. Two great fighters, but not their best work.

Crazy to believe that Hopkins was 42 years old in this fight. Damn 2007 Hopkins with this movement, inside fighting, and counter punching ability would give 2010's and 2020's (today's) MIddleWeight/SuperMiddleWeights nightmares. ;/ Only 2021-2022 Bivol and Canelo would make it a fight against this version of BHOP. Canelo would struggle with the defense and Bernard would potshot Bivol on the inside to limit his mobility.
Hopkins is a master of his craft. What he does in the ring is pure art.
Uriel Zinn huh? You gotta be joking. & I'm a Hopkins fan.
No... he's not. The man was an artist. Look at Hopkins vs. Trinidad, vs. Antwun Echols in both fights, vs. Robert Allen in all three of those fights, vs. William Joppy, vs. Winky Wright, and vs. Kelly Pavlik. Pure pugilistic artistry.
Its a boxing ring not a wrestling ring
Master of headbutt lol
En realidad le permitían usar toda su enmarañada red de juego sucio para mi winky ganó cómodo saco ventaja hasta el 10 y fue uno de picis que domino claramente a Bernard quien repito golpeó mucho en los guantes de winky ,engaña mucho Hopkins pq la zo ráfagas pero así todas a la guantes de winky
So many fighters that fight Bernard get big gashes from his head
That's cuz he's got horns
The thing that pissed me off was Winky didn’t stay busy after this fight he waited years.
Underrated fight, even tho they were both passed their primes still a classic in my opinion.
This was one of the worst fights I’ve ever seen.
It takes a special person not to get frustrated with head hop.
Pure art, is that what you call constant defence. To think people critisise Floyd Mayweather for being defensive, Floyd boxes and defends and also fights when he has to, Bernard spoils and fouls an opponent. He makes great fighters look terrible, I'm glad Calzaghe never gave him a rematch, he didn't deserve it.

that ref aint a good one he should have taking like 4 points from hopkins he been head butting and holding true the entire fight
I'on't think I ever had a conflict with the way emanual commentates
That's because he knows boxing inside and out
This wasn’t a bad fight despite how ugly it was. Probably one of the most hideous fights I’ve ever seen. But both guys worked very hard this whole fight and relied mostly on power punches on the inside, which is the exact opposite of what I expected. Here’s how I scored it: Round 1: 10/9 Hopkins Round 2: 9/10 Wright (19-19) Round 3: 9/10 Wright (28-29) Round 4: 9/10 Wright (37-39) Round 5: 10/9 Hopkins (47-48) Round 6: 10/9 Hopkins (57-57) Round 7: 10/9 Hopkins (67-66) Round 8: 10/9 Hopkins (77-75) Round 9: 10/9 Hopkins (87-84) Round 10: 10/9 Hopkins (97-93) Round 11: 10/9 Hopkins (107-102) Round 12: 10/9 Hopkins (117-111) I ended up with a 117-111 scorecard for Bernard Hopkins, and had him completely sweeping the last 8 rounds of the fight. Most of the rounds were tough to score, but I saw Hopkins using his size advantage on the inside and landing the harder punches, and Wright just looked sloppy to me in rounds 10-12.

@@ignaciolopez3748 I don’t need glasses fool. Hopkins clearly won the fight, and that’s how the judges saw it. Why don’t you get glasses, you need them.
Hopkins literally lands about 5 clean headbutts per round, in every fight. For some reason he always got away with it
Lol you ain't lying I don't know who worst him or holyfield
@@adrianswanigan8332 Yea that's a tough one. Lennox Lewis tells a story how he once went down to where Holyfield was training and he had a tire hanging by ropes that he would practice headbutting on. Holyfield and Hopkins were so sneaky with it. As soon as an opponent would complain to the ref Evander would hit you with like a 3 piece combo so that you had to move past it quickly. Hopkins was such a horribly dirty fighter in every way. In his rematch with Roy he desperately tried to get Roy DQ'd by hitting Roy behind the head, and when Roy would retaliate, Hopkins would drop to the ground like he'd just been shot. In his first fight against Chad Dawson he realized he couldh't win so he faked an injury to have the fight stopped,later called a NC
winky Wright was a more aggressive crowd pleasing fighter towards the end of his career, if he had fought more reserved and defensive I think he would've won. He was overreaching too much
I think I saw this fight as well.. WINKY WIRGHT was my favourite fighter back in this time.. WINKY travelled the world to fight ppl before making it big in the sport in the 1990's and on.. He was a top top operator. I loved his picaboo style of fighting.. He was a really skillful & great champiob ib his time.. Did Winky make big money in the end with his big fights.. WINKY beat VARGAS that night too btw. He won that fight. Vargas was a good fighter but his movement was bad at times.. Hopkins was one of the cleverest fighters of his Era I have to say.. HOPKINS was still fighting at 46 years of age, wasn't he??
Vargas beat winky calm that down

I wonder if Winky developed his style in part with the thought of defeating his Florida rival Roy Jones. Its a style designed to pressure and rush his opponent by way of coming in with a shelled up high gaurd, to take away the distance, and unload volume from there. I've been studying Roy Jones lately, and it struck me that Winky employs an almost opposite style to Roy. Both fighters were great in their own way.
Winky was at super welterweight in his prime and Roy was at light heavyweight, so it’s unlikely, but I agree it would be an interesting style match up
this is so 2000s this is so 2007

Never been a winky fan i like the way he fought this fight I love watching B-hop but this fight I didn't like all the head using by Hopkins did alot of y'all guys see how Hopkins kept scraping his head on winky's cut every time they clinched from rounds 9 all the way thru not when Bernard was attacking iM talking about during the holding smh I got annoyed seeing that i wanted to see b-hop win but with a better way much like the earlier rounds when caught winky with that good punch in round 2
How could anybody watch this and think hopkins won?
I really think the cut affected Wright tremendously but it's a fight he had to make the correct adjustments & unfortunately he didn't so Hopkins did what he had to do

In any other fight,I would agree. But on this fight, the decision should have been to wright. just keeping real.
This fight is like someone asking "What would happen if I took Codeine with sleeping pills?"
haha. Spot on. Winky wright was a brilliant boxer, but dull as dogshit to watch. B-hop isn't much better to watch either. Both great, but both boring as hell.
zaytony Honestly, I'd have rather watched Mike Tyson watching this fight, than actually watch this fight.
Wright had some exciting fights.. Hopkins on the other hand I cannot stand his dirty style. It’s no coincidence many of his opponents get bad cuts
whose career had better head bunts, Hopkins or Bradley
The headbutt cut on Winky Wright is more an upper eyelid cut . It is lower, closer to the eye and more medically dangerous than an eyebrow cut . that cut gets any deeper it could possibly damage Wright's vision permanently in that eye . Its similar to the cut Vitali Klitschko suffered from a punch by Lennox Lewis . It was deeper and you could actually see the white of upper part of Klitschko's eyeball . The referee saw the danger and correctly stopped the fight
I met winky in 2005 he paid for my meal after we had a conversation i was tellin him be carful cuzz he was close to my hood. But winky a well intelligent cool guy he mad humble too
Hopkins keep on hold all the match lo
Winky was really good 👍 but not great in my opinion. Definitely not deserving to be in the HOF. his biggest wins were his victory over Trinidad and his two wins over Mosley. That's hardly a HOF career. But the HOF bar was lowered when they inducted Riddick Bowe. So I guess anybody can get in.
What song from Jay-Z is this that Winky is coming out to
What more can I say
The black guy speaking to B-Hop while his name was being called by the announcer?? What is that guys name?? I see him at the PBC fights all the time now.. Who is he? He's the man with grey hair too. Was he with Oscar's promotion at this time??
Yeah winky won that shit we ordered that shit I was pissed off cause he always get robbed tho
I want my money back!!
Nasty fighter!
