Can we stop all this bitching!
There were many tough rounds to call.. and I'm sure in scoring the fight you leaned towards the fighter you favored to win...
An argument could be made of either fighter winning.
It was a draw and rightfully so!
(I'm actually happy with a draw as I didn't want to see either of those fighters losing.)
Dude Taylor aint no bum, he is still green yet he beat Hopkins twice and beat Winky, I dont think he is sloppy, he has good speed and power, everyone has their own opinion about it, fair enough, no need to hate on a fighter who fights the best at less experience then them.
I wouldn't say he beat wright. He does have good speed and pretty good power, and yes he is still a very unexperienced fighter, but I have to say his last 3 fights I don't think he won clearly or convincingly at all. Taylor may be a great fighter one day, but at the moment, I am gonna say HBO is nut hugging him infinite and giving him gifts. They couldn't get away with giving him a win last night, so they gave him a draw. He keeps the belts, no harm done.
Dude You're with one who was calling everyone biased, while you scored the 12th round for Winky.
Respect to both fighters, but this King Jaffere guy is a Taylor hater, he was talking shit about him before the fight, and kept saying fuck taylor, he is a bum, etc etc etc.
fuck taylor he is a bum, hes a joke, he gets gifts because he is hbo's puppet toy cunt bitch. he is sloppy as hell. taylor and valuev are the two worst title holders in the sport. taylor has lost his last three fights and gotten gifts. fuck taylor.
i lost money on taylor, but i'm not mad at him... i'm more disapointed in wright's childish behavior.... a close fight is not a robbery just cause it didnt go your way... and if you dont fight the championships rounds while trying to take the champ's title, you dont deserve to win those rounds...
That punch is landing on Hopkins, on the back of his head a bit. Also, it's not Taylor's fault that the camera men did not catch him landing a good shot. Although I'm sure there is a good pic of a clean jab somewhere, as Taylor landed several in the fight.
In any case, Winky was getting hit plenty last night. Taylor went around the guard often enough to hurt Winky and mess his face up.
Everyone needs to move on. The fight's a draw and that's fair. If Winky wants to set the record straight, he can take a rematch.
Their obvious startegy was to try and over power winky. Taylor ditched his jab and tryed to swing for the fences every time. He had some great combos and such, but winky won the technical side of the fight. I am sure they counted on winkys being mr featherfist and taylor being able to over power him and KO him. Winky walked Taylor down and jabed him all night and got him on the ropes and let loose. It was indeed a close fight, i saw it for winky. Winky didn't do much in the 12th , but I think he did more than Taylor. All I can really say is Taylors last 3 fights have not really impressed me. he hasn't won convincingly and is getting gifts IMHO.
Taylor's camp said there won't EVER be a rematch
That's hilarious because Taylor was the one who stayed in the ring instead of fleeing and acting like he was robbed like a sore loser is wont to do (Fernando Vargas, Erik Morales, etc). To further disprove your theory, Wright was the one who said he didn't want a rematch...something that someone who BELIEVES THEY WON THE FIGHT has never ever in the history of boxing said when in the role of the challenger.
Well just so you know. I just read a little while ago Taylor's camp also said the rematch would NEVER happen. That they'd search for someone else and "Knock him out". Hmmm... Could it be that using your line of thought they too, may be afraid of fighting? Of course not! They just angry at Winky right?! Tell me how's that different from Winky also being angry and saying he won't fight a rematch. Of course you mentioning it's in the role of a challenger means you're quite aware of that situation yourself eh?
Taylors the one who sounded like a beaten man. He know damn well he lost. But yes its over with

You're in no position to call anybody biased with that god awful picture as your avatar ;)
haha seriously whats the point of having a pic in your av of a punch that didn't even land?
there must be a trend...maybe he can get one of taylor landing on winks gloves or something next.
this site would suck if everyone was just satisfied with every opinion. i may not like others opinions, but at least bitching at each other keeps it new.
I suppose if every fighter either won convincingly or got KO'd like Wlad things would be a lot easier on judges ;)
I keeed I keeed
Right on!

BTW, just curious... how many times did you have to do it before you joined the team?
Also you being part of the team, do you f yourself on a professional level now? :rolleyes:

Those last 2 are a stretch to say the least. You're not helping your cause, heh.

the 12th round was clearly winky's round. ud have to be biased to see it taylors way.
But since i gave both the 3rd and 4th rounds to taylor, i had the fight a draw and i completely agree with the decision. we saw an extremely entertaining fight and we should leave it at that. no one got robbed and everyone should just shutup about it!!!

There is nothign biased about me scoring the 12th round for winky. If I was more heavily biased, I'd definitely have scored round 9, which almost everybody gave to Winky, for him, but instead I went with how I judged the whole fight and gave it to Taylor.
People usually are biased. I am usually not. And don't get mad that the best picture you can find from Hopkins/Taylor 1 is a picture of Taylor missing with a hook above Hopkin's head, I mean, afterall; I'm pretty sure it was his best punch.
Your a biased dickhead
says the guy with Taylor in his avatar, you clown. Taylor know he lost thats why didnt come close to saying he won, just like in the first BHOP fight.
this shit happens after each close fight.... man.. people just can't accept a decision
I suppose if every fighter either won convincingly or got KO'd like Wlad things would be a lot easier on judges ;)
