In what is sure to be boxer v. slugger, this fight personifies the cliché of “styles make fights.”  Winky stands as the slick south paw that has proven his boxing skills in is 51 fights.  He will look to enter the ring Saturday night with good movement and a solid defence.  This will be his keys to victory.  If he can duplicate what Hopkins and De La Hoya did in their previous fights with Tito, he will surely have a victory.  Lateral movement is going to be the key to getting a win over the well conditioned Trinidad.  By coupling lateral movements with well timed shots, Wright can set the pace in this fight.  B-Hop and DLH both punched with a timing that interrupted Tito’s rhythm. Hopkins especially used this off of the ropes to keep him out of his rhythm.  When in rhythm, however, Tito has shown to be devastating.  Winky knows how to accentuate his southpaw style and make conventional fighters work.  He produced this in his two victories over the over hyped Sugar Shane Mosley.  Winky does not have the punching power to win this fight by KO.  He will need to be the thinking fighter on Saturday night.  He only has 25 KO’s in 51 fights, and those were at lighter weight divisions.  If he enters the ring with holes in his defence as he did against Mosley, he will pay a heavy price.  It will be interesting to see how Winky deals with Tito’s pressure.  

Trinidad enters with a distinct advantage in punching power.  He knows it, and Winky knows it.  Winky has stated that he does not plan on being in place to taste Tito’s power.  Trinidad showed an increase ability to move laterally in his fight with Mayorga.  His fight plan coming into this fight will be like his previous fights.  He will look to apply constant pressure and to weaken Winky over several rounds.  The key to Tito’s win will be his accurate punching.  His accuracy against Mayorga was frightening, but Wright will not be standing in the phone booth looking to exchange.
