    and i forgot to add sometihng Taylor made some ameatur mistakes like putting his guard down just in the beging of the fight that made winky right jab hit him in the eye that is why it is swallon as well as he didnt jab that much to help him set up some of his power punchs.

    but if winky fough the way he normal fight in the last round it is sure going to be his fight
    Lol, Both of them were tired in the 12th. Taylor always makes some sort of mistake in his fights. I don't think he'll ever be someone with great defense.

      but the fact many of winkys shot he could have blocked it if he only rised his guard. i didnt see any improvment in Taylor even after Steward training.

      They guy go long arms i think it has the longest arms i ever seen in boxing about 27in where most boxers in his class is 24 or 23. that i seen in the tale of the tape in Hopkins fight. Tarver is 24 1/2 or at most 25 i dont remeber but you could see if Taylor used his jab effective he could easily control the fight.

      another wierd thing the guys that i seen fight with Taylor alway end up very tired? could it be his way of clinching could make them tired?

        I've seen this fight twice, so I did not watch the replay, both times I had it for Taylor 115-113.

          I just don't see how anyone can score this fight for Taylor, or either of the Hopkins fights for that matter. When Taylor moves up one division, he's going to get destroyed. He can't win without the size advantage he currently enjoys at middleweight...

            This fight was closer then the Hopkins fights, I have no problem with someone picking Wright in this fight but however I do have a big problem for someone scoring the first Hopkins/Taylor fight for Hopkins, that fight was not even close.
