Just Like King J Predicted: Paul Williams Punished Winky Tonight

Just like King J predicted, Paul "The Punisher" Williams punished the older, rusty, former pound-for-pound ranked Ronald "Winky" Wright Saturday Night, in Las Vegas, to a unanimous decision.

King J wrote about the strong publicity and hype he felt Paul Williams was receiving from the HBO crew, and knew even if it was close that Williams would indeed win the decision.

This fight was not close by any means.

Two of the three judges scored all but one round for Williams, and one of the judges, Byrd, scored all 12 rounds for Williams.

King J's official score card was 10 rounds for Williams, and two rounds for Winky.

I personally thought Winky's best round was the first round, where he was able to block and absorb most of Williams' punches, and threw the harder, more-effective punches.

From that point on, round after round, Williams dominated with his punches, coming from many angles, and often punching through the once air-tight shield defense of Winky.

Williams threw 1,086 punches, landing 247.

Winky landed 100 less punches, and threw 400 less than Williams.

Williams improved his record to 37-1, with 27 knockouts.

When questioned by Larry Merchant about possibly facing Kelly Pavlik or Abraham Paul, Williams said he was willing to take on all comers.

Winky talked about his long lay off, ring rust and admitted his timing was off, but stated he will be back in the ring soon.

On the under card was the increasingly popular Mexican-American heavyweight Chris Arreola.

Arreola knocked out Jameel McCline in round four.

Arreola landed a left upper cut to the chin of McCline, and then followed with a right and left. McCline came out of retirement for this fight, but it appeared his heart was never really in it.

Arreola said he would be willing to go for either Klitschko for their belts if they are ready to give him a shot.

Interestingly, Emmanuel Steward, who trains both Klitschko brothers, stated he felt Wladimir may not be able to keep Arreola off him with his signature jab.

Chris Arreola improves his record to 27-0 with 24 knockouts.
