Jermaine vs. Winky

I want Jermaine Taylor to win, but I think Winky might win by decision. I might change my mind though. Thats exactly what I'm thinking I want jermaine to win because he's the more entertaining figther and I'm sure he will etertain us with some good Championship fights in the future, dont get me wrong because i think winky is one of the best fighter around P4P but he just dont care about the audience and his fans and its like dam homey I have to pay my hard earned money to see these fights atleast give me and the audience atleast 1 round to cheer and get excited. thats just me. :boxing:

Winky's punches are pretty weak. Jermain's bombs will discourage and stop Soliman.

The boring fight of the week..... Winky covering up, and Taylor occasionally jabbing....

This is going to be real close. agreed. The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.

Of course there's a big difference between Soliman and Taylor because Taylor is a more rounded fighter than Soliman. :p And if Taylor can find a way to outpoint a very smart and sleek fighter in Bhops I don't think he'll have problem solving Winky's riddle. :D Winky is a very good defensive fighter Bro. but defense won't give you points it's the aggresiveness and the ability to land clean shots that counts and will always be appreciated not only by the judges but by whole boxing public. IMO, Wright will put forth a much better display of talent than a 40 year Bernard Hopkins did in those two fights. It's become so taboo to call Wright just a defensive fighter and to stop there. He's Top 5 P4P for a reason, you don't win the admiration of boxing fans by simply ONLY having a good defense. Wright knows how to straight embarrass fighters with his overall skill level. Winky Wright is not just a defensive fighter, i guarentee he'll land clearer shots than Taylor will, he's got the better jab, he's better poised in the ring, and he has the experience and skill over a green Jermaine Taylor. This is Wright's time now, he deserves it and shouldn't be vilianized by the negotiations here. I don't blame him a bit for wanting to make sure he's getting his rightful share of the money, Hopkins should have fought him before he fought Taylor. Wright has spent the last 10 years of his career, searching for fights, because no one wants to fight him and get outboxed. It's true, credit should be given to Taylor's character simply the fact he's taking this fight in four months without a "down fight", but i feel experience and sheer talent that Wright has will shine past Taylor's small cracks in his arsonal.

Isn't Taylor fighting Soliman first? nope, just add "June 17: Taylor-Wright" to your list so you don't have to put 'Damn it'.

Jermains reach is longer by 2 inches. But Jermain bow n arrow his jabs while Winky doesnt

Isn't Taylor fighting Soliman first?

To beat Winky, Taylor will hafta bring in an amazing gameplan. He'll have to be a pressure fighter - because there ain't a chance in hell that he'll outbox Winky. Just because of his style. Taylor's strongest weapon is his laser stiff Jab. Winky just happens to have that same weapon - whats their reaches? Winky has long-ass arms but i can't remember exact measurements. EIther way, either their even-ish in jabs, or Winky's arms might even be longer, so Winky has the advantage. The fight would go as such- Taylor Jabs with his left. Winky turtles it. Winky returns with a right jab. Taylor gets hit. The whole fight will consist of the above ^. Taylor will have to stop being a boxer and become a fighter and bring it to winky to win, because he doesn't have speed on winky, he doesnt have reach on winky, he doesn't have skill on winky. Winky has better D, similar jab, and he's got an advantage in that he's a southpaw. I think taylor will have a hard fight.

winky by decision

Taylor by a boring decision. :p If Soliman's punches can find Winky, what makes you think Taylor's punches wouldn't. :D Sam Soliman has one of the most awkward styles in boxing, he'd give Jermaine Taylor a hard time, possibly beat him on points if the judges called it fairly. There is a very big difference between Soliman and Taylor. Styles make fights and Taylors style vs. Wrights styles = Wright decision

Taylor by a boring decision. :p If Soliman's punches can find Winky, what makes you think Taylor's punches wouldn't. :D Exactly. Jermain's a lot better thrower than Soliman and his footwork is more refined. People don't seem to credit him for owning the ring the vast majority of the time in both Hopkins fights. Winky won't have a good place to hide and turtle, and unlike Soliman Jermain knows how to land a clean, effective punch. So Taylor by UD.

Taylor will win a decision. It will be close, but Taylor will deserve it.

Wright will outhustle Taylor and Taylor will get the verdict. Then one of the commentators wil claim it's a fix ( probably larry Merchant ) then another commentator will claim that Taylor was the guy coming forward and thus deserves to win!

taylor is gunna knock winky out. winky jabs will keep jermain away for the ealy rounds but when jermain opens up. say bye bye to winky.

im for winky via a dominating performance like the one he had against tito, he needs to have a performance like that and jermaine would get the win, as of right now HBO is trying to promote taylor as the enxt and if winky does not dominate taylor winky will be robbed, winky by ud

So much love for Wright!! I recall when I first started posting here, you could count his fans among this membership on one hand. I said that I thought he was robbed against Vargas and that his corner screwed the pooch by not telling him to go "balls out" late. You would've thought I had killed and eaten a baby by the reaction!

you be amazed... some of the other forums on the net :rolleyes: It's basically like half the reason people are rooting for Taylor is the assumption that Wright's a boring fighter, as ignorant a statement as that can be. Thats just stupid, Wright is a great fighter, but most kids don't look at it that way, irritating isn't it?

Jermain Taylor by decision.
