Fighting on the undercard of his second consecutive Roy Jones Jr. pay-per-view, Winky Wright defends his IBF Super Welterweight Championship against the tough Angel Hernandez. Hernandez remains undeterred by Wright's clean punches and keeps coming all night, slugging it out with the champion and winning some rounds quite convincingly. Wright finally staggers him with a volley of shots in the seventh when Hernandez drops his gloves. In the tenth, Hernandez pats his chin to taunt Wright and trades bombs with him. After twelve rounds, Wright wins a convincing unanimous decision that is hardly indicative of the rough fight he is in.

Now It's Personal: Winky Wright vs. Angel Hernandez

One of the ugliest fights in recent memory. The most exciting thing about this fight was the riot Hopkins instigated at the weigh-in when he shoved Wright's face.

Winky Wright travels to the home turf of WBO Super Welterweight Champion Bronco McKart for his second attempt at a title. Fighting behind his stiff right jab, Wright out works his fellow southpaw in virtually every round. Although McKart comes on strong in the championship rounds, it's not enough to turn back the challenger, who wins on a much closer than expected and curious split decision as one judge surprisingly has McKart ahead.
