I'm excited for the Paul Williams/Winky Wright fight.

[GS Warriors 1]

Is that really an HBO PPV? It doesn't seem like the type of PPV they would do, more like Top Rank PPV feel. Its a decent card but not worth buying. I'll likely stream that. Valero is a rising name at LW and Katsidis likes to scrap.

Bradley should beat Holt. I was hoping for a Holt/Torres III, I think Torres could have won that one. If Andrade wins, it looks likely that it will setup a rematch with Bute. While that 12th round was classic, the rest of the fight was pretty much all Bute from what I remember.

It used to have Casamayor and Barrios but they got out of the card due to injuries.

I'm excited for the Paul Williams/Winky Wright fight.

You do realize that there is a high probability that Wright makes it a very ugly fight if he just stays in his shell. It has also been like 2 years since he has fought. I think it will be a route for Williams.

[GS Warriors 1]

Not to mention that Wright is up there in age.

One thing about Wright though is that he's never been blown out(maybe Hop fight?), so I think there's a good chance it will be a close fight. He'll make it ugly but I see Williams by UD.

[cowboyronnie]

Whatever. Winky moves forward enough to make it interesting. I'm happy to watch Paul t-off on Wright's guard.

Yes

Wow Bradley dropped with 45 sec in first rd

[GS Warriors 1]

Several good fights last night.

Up next is Williams/Wright and Arreola/McCline. I expect Williams(UD) and Arreola(KO) to win.

BTW, that Manila PPV will be live and is a Sunday morning card over there in the Phillipines. Donaire should win as he's one of the best fighters under 118.

[Mike Hunt]

Winky Wright is a chore to watch and for that reason, I hope Williams dominates. I'm actually more interested in Arreola/McCline. It seems McCline's become the designated stepping stone guy in the HW division, a guy with limited movement/power but big and experienced enough to force a good performance out of a prospect.

He can also expose people for frauds... He dropped Peter 3 times.

I hope Wright lets his hands go... the only watchable fight that he has had recently is when he fought Taylor.

[GS Warriors 1]

Schedule update: Showtime will broadcast the April 24th card in St. Louis. The main event is Cory Spinks vs Deandre Lattimore. Devon Alexander will be on the undercard.

Yeah... I will not be seeing this fight.

[pugilistfan]

Winky should be a tough fight for Williams. But expect a win for Williams. Expect a high punch output for Williams and that will be the difference in the fight.

[GS Warriors 1]

Vernon Forrest vs. Jason LeHoullier, 10 rounds, middleweights

This fight was moved to May 1, which is the night before the big one(Hatton/Pacquiao). If I remember correctly, its going to be on Showtime.
