Ronald "Winky" Wright vs Julio Cesar Vasquez (FULL FIGHT)

[@the_world_is_yours7545]

The comment at the end Ronald Wright "His time will come" couldnt be more accurate. This was before Winky showed the world what a great technical boxer he was. his performance over Tito Trinidad was one of the best boxing performances I have ever seen.

[@besttex4735]

Tito was my boy.. But he was done at that time. He didnt even swing. Before the hopkins loss Tito kills Winky.

[@kforcer]

Yeah, I was just thinking the same thing. That commentator really called it.

[@jesuspacquiao3633]

Yeah, he was fantastic. And before that, he beat the great Shane Mosley twice in a row.

[@thediaz07]

​@@besttex4735 so after Bhop beat his ass he just turned to shit over night? 😂😂😂 Stop it. Tito was still good. Winky was just better that night.

Winky -one of the most underrated of all time

[@thenameofthegame4037]

yes

[@keithcampbell6806]

Winky was still on the upward learning curve here.

[@HkFinn83]

9 defenses in under 2 years, wtf?!?!? Shows how these stars who now fight every other year have it easy

[@thesun564]

Yeah they definitely do because now them and their family don’t have to suffer from their brain damage. It’s sad to see that today’s fighters aren’t treated like animals, the way they used to be back in the glory days😪

[@LM_357]

I agree. The top fighters except for Canelo fight once or twice a year now. This hurts the sport and their legacies

[@Bloxdio_God]

They are part timers today.

[@thediaz07]

​@@thesun564 ok but it's still BOXING and yeah maybe 5-6 fights a year is a bit much but 1 fight every two years is TRASH 🗑️🗑️🗑️. 2-3 fights a year is GOOD.

[@tmacbri5805]

Winky was kid in this @22yrs damn true legend

[@charleslowe522]

Yes he was. Some fighters at 22, Mike Tyson for instance, had already had their man strength. Vasquez was able to just man handle Winky and walk through every punch Winky landed. Instead of this fight ruining Winky, it made him better. Winky didn't dwell on this loss or the fact that he was dropped and nearly stopped several times in this fight. Winky improved his defense after this fight, stopped engaging fighters who were superior punchers and learned to use his great jab to dominate fighters. Although when Winky fought Jermaine Taylor he ate some big punches from Taylor and was never hurt and would always fire back against Taylor in a very exciting fight.

[@thediaz07]

​@@charleslowe522 Canelo had just turned 23 when he fought Floyd. Look at him now.

[@ellismarcelle321]

For a supreme jabber, that head must have looked inviting to Winky!!! Great exhibition. Winky learned a lot from this fight.

[@petierican6079]

Winky Wright one of the most feared boxers of this era not too many people would get in the ring with Winky winky took this L and learned sometimes a loss is good and that's okay the greatest boxers in history have lost even the ones that have zero on their record still lost

[@charleslowe522]

Thanks for this upload. I still can't believe Winky got owned so badly in this fight.

[@walterseverin1520]

Yeah it’s strange Winky at an older age so easily outboxed such quality fighters as Mosley and Trinidad yet here as a younger more primed boxer got beaten so decisively by a fighter like Vasquez

[@charleslowe522]

@@walterseverin1520 I was a little to quick with my comment, Winky did have moments of success in this fight. Vasquez was simply able to man handle Winky. Even though both fighters were the same weight, Vasquez was clearly much physically stronger. Winky at 22 was just starting to get "the man strength" as it's called. Vasquez at 28 already was at that point, plus Argentina fighters just seem to be very physically strong. Remember Jorge Castro and Lucas Matthysse. Castro just so happened to fight two fighters who were punchers, Terry Norris and Roy Jones Jr. and they had enough power to keep them honest. Surprisingly though, little 5'5" Pernell Whitaker easily out boxed Vasquez, but Vasquez was probably past his best at that point and here he was in his physical prime. As fighters who fight in Vasquez's style don't have long careers. Winky just seemed to get better with each fight. His first fight with Bronco McKart he won a split decision, second fight was a unanimous decision, third fight he frustrated McKart so badly McKart quit in the 8th round. Then Winky got his shot at Vargas. I thought Winky won, but the fight was close and it could've went either way. Then Vargas went into a fight where he was dropped three times and he was never the same fighter after that. This fight could've ruined Winky, but it made him better and after this fight I don't remember Winky's chin failing him again.

[@Joeiguana27]

@@charleslowe522 He didn't get owned. He got robbed. He comfortably won 8 rounds and, got knocked down twice got pushed over from exhaustion a few times. The ref was very biased in this fight not to count the two clear knockdowns Winky got. The judges were high or paid off.

[@Joeiguana27]

@@charleslowe522 "Moments of success?" He won right rounds and outboxed Vasquez easily. Are you okay mentally?

Thank you for the video! Wright showing even early in his career what a great jab he had. Vasquez was just a bit too much of a step up for him. Good fight despite the dodgy second round knock down call. How slippery was the canvas?! Even the ref was on his arse at one point!

Winky Wright was underrated by the "establishment" All fights were good fight even the losses were good fights ! When men were men in these fights. No excuses here. Great boxing fight, wish we would see more today :)

[@Bloxdio_God]

I think he’s become overrated. People think it’s trendy to say he’s underrated. Vasquez dealt with him handily.

[@chriswelcome8102]

7:20, 21:03, 28:48, 40:08 & 40:42 for the knockdowns It's a shame Winky "Slipped" to the canvas about 3 times, otherwise he would've won this.... But for real, 5 solid knockdowns and he was lucky to make it out of round 9

[@lunatilunati3813]

Chris Welcome fuck you.stop giving excuse.you probably black.

[@tataso]

Vazquez fuck winky, period.

[@mariosanchez8236]

@@lunatilunati3813 When you see a single word inside of quotation marks, as in this guy's comment when he writes "slipped" it more often than not denotes a sarcastic connotation. I imagine the reason that he's saying slip is probably something to do with following quote: Wright told KO Digest in 2012: "I outboxed Vasquez. I slipped so much they gave him five knockdowns, and at least three of them were slips. But he didn't hit me on the chin or ever hurt me. The last two in the last round, I was just tired and he pushed me down. That was my first time going twelve rounds." maybe next time, instead of jumping to conclusions that end up proving your dreadfully low intelligence, try jumping off your house instead

[@boxingchief9543]

I love how Winki made those "Slip" comments as if the world would never find out what really happened. Funny thing is....and this is one of the reasons I don't like him is that Max Kellerman had made a comment that it was a home town decision for Vasquez. Seeing that Max was a silver spoon kid, he should have spend some cash and bought a copy of the fight and done what real journalists do....do research and report the truth.

Respeto muchisimo a winky wright pero en ese momento, en esa pelea no estaba a la altura del zurdo vasquez. No es cierto que wright gano todos los rounds excepto los que fue a la lona. Perdio tambien el 6. Y el round 9 donde cae 2 veces esta KO tecnico. No debio dejar el referi que continue. Fue para el una pelea muy exigente y muy temprana. Y lo admiro como boxeador

Show how great Pernell Whitaker truly was… here Vasquez beats down a young Wright but just a few months after this, Whitaker moves up to jr middleweight (far beyond his best weight) and easily outboxes Vasquez to win his title

[@TOBBYGREEN12]

No le ganó fácilmente, esa pelea incluso Vázquez mostró más incluso lo tiró pero no le contaron la caída. Pasa que Whitaker era el que vendía en esa epoca. Pero esa pelea no la ganó, mínimo era para empate o 1 o 2 puntos arriba Vázquez.

[@Gitfiddle]

Winkys got the heart of a champ. His defense looked very poor in this fight.

[@RecardoRecardo]

***** that should've been a TKO on my book the referee was helping him recover in R9, I can't believe this was 1994 I was like 3 years old at that time.

[@RecardoRecardo]

***** Boxrec says UD.. but seriously I think he's better than maidana he uses jabs well too he keep his distance he defended aswell as winky but what made the difference was vasquez offense he's not afraid to take risks so he caught winky flinching when he feint the jab then throws overhand left..

[@jojosundian1149]

What's wrong with winky here? He didn't use his left hand much, he is a left hander

Winky is a right hander who fights left handed. He is not a left hander do your research before posting trash.

[@boxingchief9543]

I will not argue with that, but there is no way one can win a fight after going down five times. Vasquez was not that good which is the only reason the Duvas put Whitaker in with him. They knew that so long and he didn't land the big punch he was not going to win. That's why they took that fight and ran from Norris.....like a chicken with his head cut off!
