In a battle of two boxers billed as boxing’s most avoided fighters, two-division world champion Paul “The Punisher” Williams (37-1, 27 KOs) punished former unified junior middleweight world champion Winky Wright (51-5-1, 25 KOs) on over twelve one-sided rounds Saturday night at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The fight was fought at middleweight poundage. Williams’ punch output and pressure easily overwhelmed the defensive skills of Wright from the opening bell. Scores were 119-109, 119-109, 120-108.
