SportsNation
Welcome to The Show! On Thursday, with the boxing world's early Christmas present "The Heat is on" middleweight bout between Winky Wright and Ike Quartey on Saturday, we'll bring in Wink Wright to chat.

The two will fight Saturday, December 2 at the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, Fla. The bout starts at 9:45 p.m. ET/6:45 p.m. PT and can be seen on HBO.

Wright is coming off a controversial draw against Jermain Taylor in his last fight in June. The decision snapped his 11-fight win streak, a stretch of seven years, during which he won seven light middleweight title fights. Over his career, Wright is 10-3-1 in title fights.

Wright, 35, carries a record of 50-3-1 (25 KOs) into the ring Saturday. He made headlines last year when he finished a three-fight stretch where he faced Shane Mosley twice and Felix Trinidad, winning them all by the decisions.

Send your questions now and join Winky right here in The Show on Thursday at 3 p.m. ET!

What do you do on the day of a fight in order to prepare yourself? Are you superstitious?

No I'm not superstitious. I do whatever makes me comfortable. Basicly I chill out till its time to go fight.

Winky- If your fight with Quartey goes the distance, how will you fight the 12th round?

Winky Wright
  (3:15 PM)


If I'm winning the fight easily I'm going to continue with what got me there. I'm just going to win the fight, it may not get to the 12th.
