WRIGHT NIGHT GOES WRONG

He’s … he’s going to need a lot of steak, isn’t he? (Photos by Erik Kabik | Retna)
Paul Willams and Winky Wright squared off at Mandalay Bay Events Center Saturday night, where Wright lost in a unanimous decision during a fight repeatedly described as “one-sided.” In the undercard, heavyweight Cristobal Arreola knocked out Jameel McCline in the fourth round.
Now what happens after you 12 rounds against a guy who throws in the neighborhood of 1,000 punches? Wright needed a steak. He turned up at Tao inside The Venetian after the fight for a 20-ouncer. Do people still do that thing where they put a steak on a black eye, or is that just in the cartoons? Did that ever really work? What other curative powers does red meat have?
Also at Tao was Mark McGrath, David Spade and Terminator: Salvation director McG. Over at Lavo inside The Palazzo, Eddie Griffin had a table with several friends. Would Eddie Griffin’s friends rather have taken the 12-round beating from Paul Wiliams or lend Griffin their keys for a night?
