Winky does Wright things to retain title

[Jared Shelly]

Talk about a tough fight to score. Saturday night’s Junior Middleweight Championship rematch between Ronald “Winky” Wright and Shane Mosley was much closer than the one sided Wright victory last March. Mosley looked sharp and active under the tutelage of new trainer Joe Goossen, but it was Winky...

I scored the fight 117-111. It all depends on what you think is important in the ring to determine how you score the fight. Wright out landed Mosley in EVERY round and landed 120 more punches (10 per round). Plus, Wright was on the attack for a vast majority of the fight. I don't believe this fight was near as close as the judges indicated.

I agree that Mosley should go down to 147, but its not because he has 4 losses in 6 fights. I believe he can be more competitive there. Shane lost 2 of those fights at 147 (both vs. Forrest) and 2 at 154 (both to Wright). Plus you have to realize Mosley did just beat Oscar at 154. For shane, he has to pick better matchups. He can not beat the "straight up, come at you, with good jabs" fighters anymore. They pick him appart now because he has slowed down.

Winky is VERY over rated, and will get pummeled when he steps up to fight any real fighters. His only big wins are the last two vs. Mosley. The rest of his wins are against middle of the road fighters. Winky needs to stay at Jr. Middleweight if he wants to continue winning. If he wants the money, and to get spanked he should move up to Middleweight. Hopkins, Trinidad, Eastman, and Taylor would murder him. He may beat Oscar just because De La Hoya promotions seems more important to him than boxing at thsi point.
