WINKY WRIGHT'S comeback ended in defeat on Saturday night as Paul Williams picked up a unanimous decision in Las Vegas.
Wright, who had not boxed for nearly two years, was regularly beaten to the punch by his younger opponent.
And the veteran was quick to admit he could not find an answer to the 27-year-old's impressive display.
Wright, 37, said: "I just couldn't get my punches off.
"He was very tall and awkward with really long arms.
"He threw a lot of punches and they were coming from all different directions — I didn't know how to dodge them.
"I've had a long lay-off but I still felt this was a great fight."
Williams, a former WBO welterweight champion, said: "I expected Winky to throw big shots and he did.
"We went 12 hard rounds but I anticipated it was going to be a tough fight.
"I would have loved to knock him out."
