    i have seen the fight twice now and both times i have had it 115-113 for wright

    the crowd influenced the judges imo, everytime taylor threw a punch that hit the side of wright's glove you would have thought he had just put winky on ***** street with their reaction.

        exactly

        taylor could have farted in wright's face and it would have been regarded as the punch of the century by lampley

          The guy cant punch, period.
          He could have gotten Mosley outta there if he pushed himself to do so.

          He could have gotten Trinidad outta there if he tried a harder down the stretch.

          And most recently, he could have gotten Quartey out of there if he started trying in the 10th round.

          He feels comfortable in his talent, so much so, that he coasts to lopsided decisions when he can, instead of 'risking' it Litzau style

            Wright did get hurt because the way he was fighting was different at the mid-rounds.

            first he was just coming forward the usual winky style but then he started in some part to retreat and a bit forward.

            i gave it a draw Winky was ahead in the 11th round by 1 point and then he changed his style in the 12th could be he lost abit stamina and that is unsual for Winky probably that is the sing of getting older

                a draw was fair in my opinion..the 11th was close and could have gone either way, but I edged it to Winky...but then Winky gave away the 12th making it a draw...I wouldn't argue edging the 11th to Taylor and the 12th to Taylor either making Taylor a 1point winner

                    because in the last round he changed his style and that is weird probably the punchs that Taylor thrown had some effect on Winky that made him put his guard down abit. you know Winky is a guy with high stamina but I think Taylor tried him abit.

                    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

                      Taylor's punches are louder and it looked like he was trying to put much more on them than Winky put on his. I guess that's why Lampley had a ****** over some of the punches. Everytime Jermain went on the ropes he would unleash a flurry.
