Everyone tell me.. Who did you give Round 1 to?
Wright... Winky blocked most of Taylors shots that round and was putting up a good offense... All the judges gave it to Taylor though.
He clearly did not dominate Taylor and Taylor is the Champion. You just don't give belts that easily to a fighter who didn't do enough. The draw is fine.....twas a great fight!
What !!! how the hell did Taylor get the belts from B-hop then ,3 controversial decisions in a row and he comes out with a win in all 3.Taylor maybe the future but lets let him work for it and quit giving him these gifts.
Built 2 Last, welcome to my ignore list.
Single-handedly the dumbest post I've ever read.
a) That was caused by a headbutt
b) Super close fights aren't robberies. It's idiots like you who throw around the word "robbery" to close fights that could've been scored either way. Holyfield / Lewis was a robbery, not this.
man i like you... comin in here with your 400+ little posts with the big talk.... welcome to the board :D

i think we all knew that taylor would get the fight in his favor and that he would not deserve it. taylor, dibella and hbo are turning boxing into big time wrestling with thier fake fights.
Here is the problem that I had with the scoring. It was not a robbery, but you could make that argument.
The rounds that Winky won, he really WON. No doubt.
But...The rounds that I gave to Taylor you could have made a valid argument to give it to Wright.
That is the problem, Winky fans are seeing those close rounds and just calling them for Winky.
exactly.. if is wasn't for his aggression he would've been shutup out.. winky picked the majority of taylors punches off with his gloves.. he landed a few shots here and there.. and what really pissed me off is when jim lampley kept sayin.. "oo theres a punch that landed straight up the pipe" meanwhile winky CLEARLY blocked it.. it happened numeriousl times.. he should talk alot less during the fight
I think we have the benefit of watching on tv that makes it easier to see those shots are being blocked. Live, sitting low to the ring and to one side, you might not see the subtle blocks that Winky uses.
A lot of the times that Taylor's right would split his guard, Winky would turn his body so he would catch the punch on the inside of his forum and it would glance his cheek, but the didn't land clean. It's amazing how crafty he is with subtle movements like that, but if you think of how that would look at ringside, it would probably look like the punch landed straight on. Unfortunately this fight is a prime example of how you can stay in a fight by throwing shoe-shine punches and by throwing huge shots, even if they aren't landing. Taylor's style looks great to a judge sitting ringside, because he's so emphatic and you can hear how hard the shots are landing, even if they're being blocked. Winky, on the other hand, does not dodge the punches, but he blocks them with very little body movement, which may not be obvious, and he doesn't throw booming shots, but they're accurate.
i guess not. people had it in their minds b4 the fight that taylor was gonna win.
That's the bottom line.
That's evident after the first Hopkins fight.
I don't see how people could score it for Taylor, but whatever. He's the HBO Cash cow and they had to keep it that way.

the ppl having taylor winning dont no winkys style. winky gets hit, ON THE ARMS. if taylor isnt landing any clean punches, it isnt quite helping him, his activeness and occasional landed power punches kept him the fight.

I think Winky won that fight. I think Winky took the first 5 rounds and although a couple were close. The first round Taylor won was round 6, which he won decisively, I think. I wasn't keeping a score card, so after that, I didn't keep track, but I gave Winky the last round, which puts him at 6 rounds won, and I know he took at least one of the rounds from 7-11. I think the scoring for the fight, especially the last round, shows that boxing has absolutely no recognition of defense. Unless you're a reflex fighter that can slip shots, you may as well not bother with defense, because apparently hard shots that are blocked with the forearm, elbow or hands still count as punches landed. Winky out boxed Taylor in the last round. Winky wasn't landing big shots, but he was landing jabs, moving in and out of Taylor's range. Taylor did absolutely nothing in that round. He just backed up, so I don't see how he could have won it.

your right winky doesnt even have any nerves in his arms so when taylor hits his arms its not even hurting

Just watched the fight. I wont bother reading what everyone else posted as we all have opinions but great fight. I cant argue with the decision. I actually thought the judges had it "bang on" for once. Winky showed a dam good chin, Taylor hit him with some clean power shots and Wright took them well. Wrights punches are so deceiving cuz he doesnt have any power so shots he was landing may not have looked effective.
Taylor still looks very green. He'd better retain Manny as his trainer as he has a long way to go. Very nice guy and showed class in the post fight interview.
1. He didn't get robbed
2. A draw is a fair call
3. I chose the fight for Taylor
Nobody got robbed, and neither fighter really dominated out there. I say rematch.
