Taylor vs. Wright Re-Revisited

Since everybody still seems to be debating the outcome of last Saturday's Middleweight Championship fight between champion Jermain Taylor and Ronald "Winky" Wright I figured I'd make one final thread. This thread is for those of us who have seen the fight at least twice, I just finished watching it for the third time. If you think Taylor won, post your scoring, if you think Wright won, post your scoring, if you had it a draw, post your scoring. ROUND 1 Starts off pretty decent, lots of movement for both fighters and still a slight feeling out process. Winky throws less punches but lands at a higher connect percentage while Taylor throws more shots but lands the harder punches. 14 shots land for Winky, 10 for Taylor. I gave this round to Winky Wright based on his accuracy and technical ability. ROUND 2 Both fighters come out and pick up where they left off, and it's essentially more of the same. Taylor is throwing more punches and landing less, Winky throws less and lands more. A clear round for Winky Wright, he was teeing off on Taylor with the left beautifully. 23 total shots land for Winky of which 11 are power punches, a clear round for Wright. ROUND 3 Wright doesn't seem to be doing very much to win the round. Taylor is the aggressor and backs Wright off with his right hand. I gave this round to Taylor, his effective aggression clearly won it for him. ROUND 4 Both fighters exchange shots, in what could be a round for either fighter. I gave the round to Wright because of his superior defense and blocking many of Taylor's shots. Round 5 As clear a round as any for Winky Wright, he comes out aggressive and pushes the tempo of the fight. Taylor seems reluctant to throw at all and when he does, he hits leather. Winky lands 30 shots to Taylor's 10. I gave it to Winky. An interesting side note is that even Taylor's trainer Emmanuel Steward told Taylor they were losing points and behind in the fight when Taylor came back to his corner after the round. ROUND 6 Wright doesn't throw much, he seems content with blocking Taylor's shots and Taylor throws more punches. I gave the round to Taylor for his effective aggression. ROUND 7 Pretty boring round if you ask me. A lot of backing down and missed shots, however Taylor seemed to throw the cleaner shots in this round and since Wright didn't do much at all I gave it to Taylor. ROUND 8 Very close round, a back and forth if you will. Wright's defense is looking good but Taylor lands some clean shots as does Winky. This round could go either way on anybody's scorecard but I agreed with Harold Ledderman in giving the round to Wright on his impecible defense and the left hand. ROUND 9 Taylor throws and mostly misses. Lampley would like you to believe otherwise as by this point in the fight he's all over Taylor's nuts. I don't know what fight he's watching but it's clear his head is too far up Taylor's ass to see the inring action. Wright was far more effective in not only his defense but landing the cleaner, clearer punches as well. I gave the round to Ronald "Winky" Wright. ROUND 10 At this point in the fight it's anybody's game really. Both fighters are doing a great job asserting themselves. However I gave the round to Jermain Taylor because he seemed to land the better, more powerful punches. Wright's defense was good but I don't think it was enough to secure the round. ROUND 11 Lots of back and forth action here, pretty much what we've seen thus far in essence. Taylor clearly controls the center of the ring while Wright clearly owns the corners and ropes. Anytime he backs Taylor up Taylor closes his eyes and covers up, to not much evail at all. Wright is still able to penetrate his defenses and land good combinations against the ropes. I gave this round to Winky Wright. ROUND 12 Ahhh yes, the controversial round. Who won it? Opinion varies greatly. There's not really much action here at all, Wright dances away from Taylor who swings but misses far more often than he hits. The age old question, can you win a fight running away? My answer? No. I gave the round to Jermain Taylor. While he didn't land anything, neither did Wright and Taylor was at least showing aggression. I had the fight 115-113 for Ronald "Winky" Wright. How about you?
