    Wright/Taylor hard to figure out

    I believe this is one fight that is really hard to judge. I believe this is probably one of the hardest fights to really pick a winner from. These 2 fighters have so many attributes that you rarely see clash in a fight to the middleweight title.

    Taylor is a huge middleweight just like hopkins. Taylor has a long hard jab that he uses for his only style of defense. Taylor also has never fought a fighter that will back you up or really stand a fight. Taylor also is inexperienced and hasn't fought many southpaws.

    Winky is a defensive master and also has one of the best jabs in the business. People say that Taylor has a stronger jab but I disagree. His jab can find a person better because of his long reach but it doesn't exactly hurt more. Winky uses his right hand to jab and that is his strong arm. Winky is well experienced and fights orthadox fighters all the time. Wright is not the busiest of fighters but he does throw punches. Wright also is the smaller fighter and hasn't fought many people bigger than him.

    Both fighters have smiliar strengths and weaknesses. When there isn't a similarity then they have a total opposite strength/weakness. Like Taylor being big and Wright being small for this fight. I believe this is one of the hardest fights to really judge who will win. I believe that the only other time a similar match up like this came up was the SRR/Hearns fight.

    You're right, this is a great fight and tough to pick. Personally though, I think it's gonna be mister Taylor that comes away with the win

      I'm really looking forward to this one and it is very evenly matched in the sense that each has advantages which offset the other (Taylor with the power, Winky with the amazing defense and great jab). It's hard to pick a winner, I'd like to see Winky get it.

        Taylor has the stronger, faster, crisper jab then Wright. Winky's is more accurate, however.

          This fight will not be close at all and Taylor will dominate, Winky is a good fighter but is not physical enough to punch with Taylor, i see Taylor winnging 7-8 rounds easily and im predicting a 9th round TKO, Taylor will start off strong as he alwasy does and unlike teh Hopkins fights will not fade but get stronger in the later rounds! Ive also heard that his been watching the Soliman-Winky fight qiute a bit and will be looking to up his punching output drastically and i see him throwing atleast 100 more punches then Wright and winning in spectacular fashion!

            Taylor wins maybe even by late ko(I know a ko is a stretch but I really think his style will give winky problems)

            The key to beat winky or to look decent against him is to throw punches even if he blocks them. Expect to see TAylors activity level rise

              If Taylor dramatically increases his punch rate in the fight and lacks respect for Winky's power, he can win the fight. It will be interesting to see what kind of plan he has to deal with Winky's style.

                Also remeber this EMMANUEL STEWARD was a commentator for Wright_Soliman and is now in the corner of Taylor, during the fight from rounds 1-4 steward went on about how Wright was going to get him out of there quickly or dominate enormously! from rds 5-7 steward went on about how he was fooled and that solimans reason for still being in the fight was the way he worked (throwing all those punches)! from 7-the last round steward was saying how Wrights defense is great but had he been in there with a guy with both power and a high-work rate he would have had a great deal of trouble! Now just watch how Emmanuel molds Taylor into this fighter for this fight! THUS THE REASON TAYLOR WILL WIN

                  If you have your powerful jabs swatted away all fight then you wear out quickly... Taylor isn't going to hit Winky all fight like you make it sound like. Sure, Taylor can throw more punches but that doesn't mean he will hit Wright. Judges like accurate punches which Wright gives. Just look at James Toney/Rahman.
