Leonard vs Wright @ 154

Leonard is the clear favorite, but can you see the larger man with long reach giving him trouble?

 

You just know that some idiot here is going to pick Leonard by KO. Leonard by decision in a frustrating night for him.

 

No, Leonard doesn't stop Wright.

Yet at the same time, Winky wouldn't be all that competitive.

He'd give Leonard some trouble early, but once Leonard adjusts, Wright didn't have some second gear to kick into. He had one gear, and it was good enough to beat a lot of guys, but sure as Hell not Leonard.

Ray wins a VERY commanding UD.

 

Leonard shuts him out. Too much speed and offensive variety. Wright is a big strong southpaw but too basic.

 

Personally I can't see a shutout. 9-3 Leonard sounds about right, but Winky's jab and turtle defense make him struggle a bit

 

Leonard 9-3 sounds right to me too. He'll win by volume of punches thrown.

 

9-3 in a 12 rounder sounds about right.

15 rounder Ray wins 12-3.

Winky didn't have the world's best stamina, and Leonard did.

Wright faded down the stretch against Vargas, which allowed Vargas to pull out a draw.

 

I know who Wright DOES beat though, Sly.... Shitnelo.

 

I suspect that your opinion of Canelo will drastically improve after the GGG fight.

 

I could see a prime Wright beating Golov also.

Golov wouldn't be able to avoid Wright's jab worth a shit.

 

It would go the same way Leonard vs. Starling would go: a painfully boring decision victory for Leonard
