Going into this fight, oddsmaking Boxing experts at SBGglobal.com had listed Paul Williams [-200 ML] as a heavy favorite in his bout against the aging Winky Wright [+160 ML] Saturday night. 
The once impenetrable defense of Wright was no match for Williams’ speed and power, as seemingly everything as getting trough and landing on Winky’s mug.
It was clear from the start that this fight was going to be a one-sided affair and it was only a question of: how long would Wright last in the ring with this visibly faster, longer man?
Williams threw punches like there was no tomorrow in this fight. He constantly worked Wright’s head and body from the opening bell. Williams’s superiority was evident as Winky, who was coming off a 21-moth layoff, was no match.
The Georgia native threw so many punches that Wright simply didn’t have time to land enough blows during the entire bout. Williams threw 104 punches in the first stanza and 106 in the final one, as he remained very active throughout the fight. “I felt like I did in the first round in the 12th,” Williams said. “That was because of my hard training, and running seven miles a day. It helped my breathing.” Williams threw 104 punches in the first round and 106 in the 12th, rarely taking a break in between.
In the end, one judges scored the bout, 119-109 in Williams’ favor and another one gave every single round to Williams, 120-108. When it was all said and done, Williams threw 1,086 punches and connected 23%, doubling Wright’s total amount of punches thrown (511). “I just couldn’t get my punches off,” Wright said. “He was very tall and awkward with really long arms. He would throw a lot of punches, and they were coming from all different directions, and I didn’t know how to dodge them. I had a long layoff, but I felt this was a great fight.”
