    Can Basilio slip in under Winky's jab and find holes in that tight guard?

    I think Basilio outworks him 2-1, and should win a close decision. This is a man who arguably beat both Sugar Ray Robinson and Kid Gavilan.

    Basilio.

    The key to beating Winky was pressure and volume.

    He could take apart more methodical guys, but if you back him up and get inside, he could be outfought.

    Basilio would outright him.
