Everything he does (negative or positive) they give a positive reason for it, anything his opponent does they give a negative reason for his opponent doing it.
i.e.
"Taylor appears to be waiting for Winky so he can get his attack in.
"Winky extremely discouraged and you can see that in his reduced output."
Why do they love Taylor so much?
All those shots that were hitting Winky's arms they were calling them. They were like, "HUGE RIGHT HAND BY TAYLOR!"
I'm thinking to myself, are these the same commentators who refused to call anything Shane Mosley landed on Winky in their second fight because of Winky's defense...
I thought Lamps did a great job. Yeah, sure he likes Taylor, but he gave Winky props too when he did something worthwhile.
The thing is, Taylor hits very hard - and even when he's hitting Winky's gloves, it still has an effect. Winky may have ended up landing the more clean shots, but you can't tell me he inflicted more damage on Taylor than he received himself. No way.
I agree.
Taylor inflicted way more damage on Winky than Winky did on Taylor.
Taylor's eye was caused by a butt, which it clearly showed on replay.
Both of Winky's eyes, brows and cheekbones were swollen to a tee.

Uhm, you do realize there were about 3-5 clean hard headbutts in the fight? Or were you too busy being riveted by all the punches Taylor "landed" ?
Right because each one of those headbutts landed the the side, above and under Winky's left AND right eyes. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Uhm a lot of those straight rights were landing through the gaurd, and the hooks were landing behind winky's ear.
If you say that Taylor wasn't landing... when was the last time you've seen Winky's face look like that?
True.
Taylor landed plenty of shots, and besides, Lamps is at the fight and had access to different camera angles as well as the live view, so he can see more than you can.
It was obvious he wanted Taylor to win, but it's also obvious that Taylor was landing cleanly on Winky in many cases.

Lampley was ridiculous with his exaggerations when punches were blocked by Winky, while ignoring flurry's of Wright's. He would also say "Big round for Taylor" when Taylor let his hands go even if the shot's were blocked. I was impressed with Taylor and his class and honesty in giving credit to Wright who fought the bigger stronger Taylor well.

i wasnt able to watch the fight but my brother was telling that there was some serious nuthugging going on
i read an article i forgot who wrote it though before the hopkins taylor fight that taylor will win because he will be hbo's future bankable fighter so he will win the fight its a conspiracy theory but hey....
lampley always been a cheerleader, i cant stand him he did it in the jcc vs meldrick taylor fight, in the delhaya hopkins fight he called the knockout like nothing happened, he id just a sorry ass cheerleader always has been
Agreed. I kept arguing with my roomate about that, how a majority of Taylors shots landed on the gloves of Wright. He outlanded Taylor, and at a higher percentage. Sounds like a win to me.
