This is the quote I was referring to regarding Lou DiBella's trash talking which rubs me the wrong way. If the fighters do it to build up the gate for a fight I can tolerate it, but not from a promoter/manager. I'm not all that thrilled with Winky Wright as a fighter but I respect his skills. I view Taylor as a pushed, marketable guy who HBO likes to have as a name on their marquee.

DIBELLA LASHES OUT AT WINKY!

After confirming our breaking news regarding his potential August 5 HBO triple header [my note: Ike Quartey vs. Vernon Forrest which should be a good one], promoter Lou DiBella told Boxingtalk, "Tomorrow night Paulie's going to shock the world [oops!] and next week Jermain's going to shock Ronald." DiBella continued, "I want to tell Ronald that if he hasn't been able to secure an endorsement for the bottom of his shoes putting Winky Promotions on the soles of his shoes will be the best exposure his company is ever going to get."
