First off, I'm a big Tito fan. I've always favored the fighters with natural punching power and guys with that one punch knockout ability. But Winky Wright is probably one of the most underrated and overlooked fighters in boxing history because of his defense oriented style. He didn't do anything sensational to draw the attention of the casual boxing fan. He was soft spoken, disciplined, and stayed out of the limelight. But what made Winky spectacular was his mastery of the basics. Alot of top ranked fighters avoided Winky throughout most of his career because of his style and ability to make you look boring or average. And I don't know how long Winky's forearms were but it seemed when he boxed up, everything from his navel to his forehead was protected. Always lead with the jab, sharp counterpunching, and patience was the recipe for the disaster for most of the flashy, battle hungry, crowd pleasers in the game. He really deserved more respect if you look at how avoided he was, even more so than the intimidating power punchers of his era. And this was one of his most masterful showings against the legendary Trinidad. Hats off to Winky, much respect.
Winky was so underated and so very avoided but such a joy to watch.Even early in his career,he boxed like a seasoned veteran and everything was so technically smooth...great,great fighter!
Winky's style was a brilliant mix of defense and offense. He was slick and defensive, yet he was also a pressure fighter. He'd walk you down and beat you up and still rarely get hit clean in return with that iron-clad guard. It's obvious why he was avoided by so many.
He was peeking here, too. At 160 and i thought he got jobbed vs Jermain Taylor in a conspicuous "Draw" and if ya think back to the talent at the time, you had Pavlik, Rubio, Abraham, Miranda, Pirog, Jacobs to Corey Spinks went up to 160 and lost a SD to J Taylor and i thought it could have went Corey's way
Can't imagine having to face Winky. That jab is basically a cross but quicker. He also drops it on you straight from his guard, so u eat it while you're looking for spots to place your own punches.
And he throws it off rhythm too! Mixing up feints as well! When he quickly covers up, sometimes he does that to get a reaction, and when you expose yourself to the feint, WHACK! Another Jab. So it’s good defense AND broken rhythm at the same time.
Winky Wright a forgotten great, would have a good chance against all of boxings greatest from 154-160. Him against McCallum would have been something beautiful.
George Havenhand forgotten great? Lol 😂 bhop made him his bitch and then wright and his fans complain that bhop a dirty fighter. In uk 🇬🇧 we don't give a flying fuck about wright, just a decent fighter with no head movement and plodding footwork and the same old 1-2 combinations.....
Absolutely spot on ... He's the guy you don't mention he dosnt get spoken about because you know he's gonna give you a very difficult nights work ... A total boxing technician love watching his work
MM 655321 : De La Hoya was scared of Winky Wright, because he knew that if Quartey nearly knocked him out Winky would get the job done. Winky was like a smarter version of Quartey. De La Hoya got out of fighting Winky by pretending to want to fight him and then being impossible during the purse negotiations, so that Winky would just say “f*ck it!”
I don't think so... Rated exactly where he should be. A footnote in boxing history. Fought fighters smaller than him wore giant gloves, wore is belt up to his nipples and hid in his safe place where he shall remain.
You ain’t lying the closest one to that I’d have to say Benevidez/Dirrel. He and Winky both mixed it up with counters hooks leads and combos but this was a one armed fight
Winky a very skilled boxer that stuck to the basics... One of the best jabs in the sport an his defense was like a damn wall you couldn't get through. His forearms was so long he was able to block his head and body at the same time! His jab and defense will go down as one of the best ever!
If Wright wasn’t a defensive fighter, he could have knocked out Tito on at least 10 occasions. There were times where Winky needed a big right hand to finish Trinidad. The body language of Tito signaled a defeated fighter who had no plan to solve the problem in front of him.
Trinidad never been so effective as a middleweight, he was simply a beast physically in the lower divisions but at middle weight the power wasn't so devastating and so the ability to eat punches wasn't so great. He never had particular other skills, terrible foot work and defence
I loved Trinidad but as I got older I realized how limited his skill set was if he couldn't hurt you he was pretty much a done deal. Damn that left hook carried him a long way.
Yeah going up weight really neutralized his power.. he got schooled by Hopkins and Winky. Embarrassingly bad performances. Still at his natural weight he was a terror
Uzzi -El his weakness was the jab. All his fights against Oscar, Hopkins, and Wright he just walked straight into jabs all night. No head movement whatsoever
Tito was a big welterweight. When he fought guys more his size all of a sudden it's not his weight? It was actually Winky that went up in weight! A 36 year old Bernard made 157 easy back in 2001 to fight Trinidad and Winky went up in weight to fight Trinidad. Face it, Trinidad simply got beat. Jones in 2008 was indeed way too big though.
Wow. Just wow. Every time I watch this fight am just amazed at the precision in which Wright dismantled Trinidad. Tito had no answer for him and no matter which way he bobbed and weaved he had a glove waiting to meet his face.
Went back to this vid because of Fury vs Wilder yesterday. Wilder and Trinidad are both one trick ponies and when a skilled opponent neutralizes that trick they have no backup plan. Same thing with Hopkins vs Trinidad. Miss Emmanuel Steward and Harold Lederman’s voices too. ❤️
Yo.boi_ Hood619 : Winky’s Jab was deadly, but the deadliest jab was Quartey’s. Quartey’s jab was like Foreman’s, he could put a dude to sleep on his jab alone. That was a power-punch for him. Tommy Hearns’s jab was a mfka, too! He split Marvin Hagler’s face open with it. De La Hoya had a stinger for a jab. It wasn’t a knockout jab; it was a classic jab, because he used it to set up other sh*t.
ambivalent ambiguity - True. While watching this bout, i was thinking, are these men in the same weight class? Winky looked significantly bigger. - Joseph
Lesson to all boxers. When you can't think what to do throw out a jab. Especially true when you have a long reach. Wright looked so big for a light-middle. How did he make the weight? Probably walking around Cruiser today.
Winky Wright gave Trinidad a boxing lesson, Wright was good southpaw. He wasan't the easiest too. Catch i remember when he boxed, in England couple-of - times whe he beat Steve Foster, Adrian Dodson, Ensley Binham, he beat Shane Mosley, Lost to Fernando Vargas a contaversal decision, he was exciting. Too watch. 🥊😁
Man, 2005 was SUCH a GREAT year for boxing!! Winky finally getting some credit - and what a way to do it - against Tito. Ricky Hatton dethroning Kostya Tszyu Cotto showing some real mettle in a slugfest against Torres. Mayweather Jr stepping up in weight masterfully showing what he is against Gatti (RIP!) and Mitchell Morales v Pacquaio war And on that undercard - Jorge Arce v Hussein Hussein Probably the greatest fight of the decade in Coralles v Castillo The shock of B-Hop losing after SO many middleweight defences This was a great year - slap bang in the middle of a great decade for boxing!!
People are always forgetting how good Wright was in his prime. His basic fundamentals we're great and he didn't need anything else. Wright probably has the best high guard in boxing history and he keeps his punches short and up the middle.. its smart boxing, you rarely saw Winky throwing a looping shot or even a sort inside hook. Very smart and disciplined fighter. This was easily his career defining fight, unfortunately it came agaist one my all time favorite fighters in Tito Trinidad.
Did Tito team even watch any tape on winky? Tito was clueless in there. I blame his corner. He wasn’t prepared for what winky was doing to him. 120-107 that’s embarrassing.
Zeus Alexander Too small. Too weak. Too past his prime. But much respect to Tito. He fought all the greats of his era. No dodging. Only wished there was a rematch with DLH before he decided to move up weight class only to get slaughtered.
Raul Ramirez Oscar beat him, but he’ll yeah, those 3 defeats were against bigger guys. And yeah Winky went up in weight but he was a huge jr middleweight.
Vargas didn’t beat winky Wright!! It was a robbery!! They wanted to make the Oscar fight with Vargas and that’s where the money was!! Go watch again!! Winky wracked him
@@thegreatestfinesser2338 Ya, so right. But everybody knows that BoHop was one of the all time greats. Winky is under appreciated. But you know your boxing. Give you that.
Winky had the perfect style to neutralize most of his opponents offense, those long arms were the key to his great solid defense, very underrated, he truly was one of the best of his era
The hard jab , pop jab and DISTANCE was a beautiful game plan winky never went backwards the jab and 1,2 offset Trinidad forward attack winky defense was on% 100% look boxing wizards defensive counters shots are a lost art in the sport of boxing but it was on display in this fight cheers!!!!
Tito just wasnt used to having a jabbejng stuck in his face. Someone who holds their ground, hands up with solid fundamentals like winky.. A jab and solid basic fundamentals beats trinidad all day.
Back when the top rated fighters were not scared of each other.. back when fighters didn’t stay in one weight class and bully up and coming smaller fighters.. miss this era
Winky was my favourite fighter of this era.. He beat Vargas nad got robbed too. I half expected this to go against him as well..great perfprmance by a great man..
This was the greatest exhibition of a jab I’ve ever saw. He literally beat him with very few power punches.

Frederick Wells Errol Spence's pressure and power combined with Winky Wright's defensive ability is a scary thought.
He didnt nothing against people whit the same size like Vargas and Williams.
It's like a tank coming at you in a narrow hallway
He was peeking here, too. At 160 and i thought he got jobbed vs Jermain Taylor in a conspicuous "Draw" and if ya think back to the talent at the time, you had Pavlik, Rubio, Abraham, Miranda, Pirog, Jacobs to Corey Spinks went up to 160 and lost a SD to J Taylor and i thought it could have went Corey's way
Best defense ,hard to get thru winkey
That jab was the key, totally neutralized Tito from getting anything done,and great guard by Wright,very impressive.
Yes he really could go toe to toe with Floyd
Can't imagine having to face Winky. That jab is basically a cross but quicker. He also drops it on you straight from his guard, so u eat it while you're looking for spots to place your own punches.

Gonna have to go back and watch some of his fights, and 're live the glory day of the 90's
The first Winky Wright fight I watched growing up. I heard Winky had beat Mosley twice, I realized why.
I loved Winky style straight forward.

I never see somebody get beat by a JAB like that before...

Yellow Man nowhere close
Winky was a GOD that night. The GOD OF WAR!
You ain’t lying the closest one to that I’d have to say Benevidez/Dirrel. He and Winky both mixed it up with counters hooks leads and combos but this was a one armed fight

Tito was only great with loaded handwraps unfortunately for those fighter who didn’t catch em before bernard
Juan Lopez brother u are absolutely right
Winky had one of the best guards
One of the most brilliant, calculated and methodical take downs of a brawler like Trinidad - who had no defense for endless jabs to the face.
This is a very lop-sided fight. Wright made aTito looked liked an amateur in this fight.

One of the best not quite the best that would be Floyd Mayweather
Winky Wright! I forgot him. What a skillful fighter. Thanks Google algorithm.
Its safe to say that Tito’s weakness was the jab since he wasn’t known to have a good defense...
Yeah Oscar and bhop and then Winky. But then Tito wasn't the same after Hopkins put a beating on him.
I give Tito props for stepping in the ring with bigger boxers like Winky, Jones and Bernard. This wasn’t Tito’s weight class.
Michael Reyes Winky went up TWO weight classes to fight Tito. This wasn't Winky's weight class you mean. Winky got in his cullo. Facts!
IT'S HIM That was a wack fight.

You mean win Tito was dominant at welterweight he was a oversized wealtweight at 5'11😐
This wasn't Wright's weight class either.
Wow. Just wow.
Every time I watch this fight am just amazed at the precision in which Wright dismantled Trinidad.
Tito had no answer for him and no matter which way he bobbed and weaved he had a glove waiting to meet his face.

What was the Compubox Stats on the jab output and connect dam!
I remember watching this fight in such disappointment and now rewatching it brought back old feelings. Now I have to watch wright vs Hopkins.
Never seen so much oooohhhs with a jab. Beautiful weapon.
Trinidad had no business fighting as a middleweight. He should have maxxed out at 154.
Or gone back down to 154 instead of retirement after this fight...
ambivalent ambiguity - True. While watching this bout, i was thinking, are these men in the same weight class? Winky looked significantly bigger. - Joseph
Same thing would have happened at 154 lb. Winky just had Trinidad's number.

True but Trinidad was overrated in my opinion, he was great but a little overrated.
Zues Alexander You do know Winky went up 2 weight classes to get this fight . He just got outclassed.
That is why Duran is the greatest
Raul Ramirez Oscar beat him, but he’ll yeah, those 3 defeats were against bigger guys. And yeah Winky went up in weight but he was a huge jr middleweight.

what makes winky great is that his hands are so high that he is never out of defence and his jab and punches are straight

Winkys jab was fast and accurate. Easy to ask a question but look at winkys fights. All his opponents get hit with the jab
Tito depended much on his l hook; but scarce of punch on 160+ w class!
Tito just wasnt used to having a jabbejng stuck in his face. Someone who holds their ground, hands up with solid fundamentals like winky.. A jab and solid basic fundamentals beats trinidad all day.
