In today’s WBSS Middleweight Legends’ fantasy tournament fight, Carlos Monzon won a twelve round unanimous decision over Jake LaMotta. Monzon will now face Winky Wright in the semis. A lot of negative blowback on yesterday’s Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Winky Wright fight. Here’s it is if you haven’t seen it.

We all know Winky Wright would have to get lucky to KO Leonard. Wright’s peek-a-boo style of fighting was never a KO style. Leonard’s hand speed would have easily carried him to victory on points against Wright. Would have been nice to see Roy Jones or James Toney against Leonard in their primes instead of Wright. My 2 cents.
Yes, both would hae been better. Nunn, Mcallum, Kalambay are better and true middleweights than some
They are now just doing this fantasy crap for cheap attention and comments. Just stop covering this please, as it is completely ridiculous.
Looks like Fitzgerald has been following the BJS instructional videos.
Where Saunders is just an idiot and possibly a coward, Fitzgerald has a whole heap of serious problems and, for his best interest and everyone else’s, should go to jail for awhile.
Why was Mickey Walker not entered in the tournament?
Sugar ray at middleweight?????
Wrong
This tournament is straight up preposterous and comical, Winky Wright was a very good fighter I wouldn’t call him a great fighter though, how does he defeat SRL? No it wouldn’t have happened anybody with half a brain with boxing knowledge would know this what’s next Roberto Duran losing to boom boom Mancini or Livingstone Bramble? if they fought every day for a million years wouldn’t happen SRL would have beaten Winky Wright on his pro debut as a skinny 139 lber
Winky Wright couldn’t knock me out ! Give me a break. Sugar Ray by late round tko or unanimous decision.
Sugar Ray was a supremely talented fighter with a great chin and boxing ability with power plus intelligence. Winky would have had a lot of problems dealing with his speed and power.
And the commentators observations are repetitive, and unconnected to the action seen onscreen. It’s almost a blur, watching the action, and hearing cheat-sheet commentary, which was rarely specific. (“Oh, he threw another one upstairs, which was answered by one of his own.”) Leaving the ultimate results of the fights aside, and who won, this is, essentially, a shitload of shinola….
Yeah, Sugar Ray Leonard should’ve won this. Just like, in my opinion, a prime Ali defeats a prime Tyson. But…we’ll never know.
California ushering in the communism they always wanted. Gruesome Newsome received Christmas in April with COVID-19.
Was this an April’s fool joke?? Winky Wright KOed someone? Saw probably every major fight he was in last decade of his career. He never hurt anyone much less KOed anyone Again what drugs were you taking to come up with this?
They should relabel it the fantasy tournament that is living in a fantasy world and is hyped up on hallucinogenic drugs. Wright KO’s Leonard!!
These are make-believe simulations, run on a 10 year old video game. There were a limited number of fighters available , due to licensing issues. I really feel that you’re missing the point here, if you’re getting so upset. Oh, and Wright beat a prime Mosley (twice), Felix Trinidad, Ike Quartey, and gave a red hot Fernando Vargas all he could handle. He also fought to a draw with Jermain Taylor, and gave Bernard Hopkins fits at middleweight. Leonard fits nicely into that list. It’s all pretend. Calm down, and enjoy the attempt to entertain at a time when we could all use some entertainment.
No way Im sitting here watching a cpu vs cpu matchup. I read the comments and seen the results to know its flawed. Not that desperate.
