    That's the bottom line.

    That's evident after the first Hopkins fight.

    I don't see how people could score it for Taylor, but whatever. He's the HBO Cash cow and they had to keep it that way.

"oo theres a punch that landed straight up the pipe" meanwhile winky CLEARLY blocked it.. it happened numeriousl times.. he should talk alot less during the fight
      I think we have the benefit of watching on tv that makes it easier to see those shots are being blocked. Live, sitting low to the ring and to one side, you might not see the subtle blocks that Winky uses.

      A lot of the times that Taylor's right would split his guard, Winky would turn his body so he would catch the punch on the inside of his forum and it would glance his cheek, but the didn't land clean. It's amazing how crafty he is with subtle movements like that, but if you think of how that would look at ringside, it would probably look like the punch landed straight on. Unfortunately this fight is a prime example of how you can stay in a fight by throwing shoe-shine punches and by throwing huge shots, even if they aren't landing. Taylor's style looks great to a judge sitting ringside, because he's so emphatic and you can hear how hard the shots are landing, even if they're being blocked. Winky, on the other hand, does not dodge the punches, but he blocks them with very little body movement, which may not be obvious, and he doesn't throw booming shots, but they're accurate.

        Here is the problem that I had with the scoring. It was not a robbery, but you could make that argument.

        The rounds that Winky won, he really WON. No doubt.

        But...The rounds that I gave to Taylor you could have made a valid argument to give it to Wright.

        That is the problem, Winky fans are seeing those close rounds and just calling them for Winky.

          i dont really like all that flashyness when your just hitting someones gloves or just missing completely wich is why i had winky winning the fight. Lampley was all over taylors **** too, i hate this guy. getting all exited when taylor would land 4 or 5 shots to winkys GLOVES and ****,, get the **** outta here, they need to replace that biased *****. ****s suposed to be boxing, not a hypefest or favored decisions.
          this and the post u posted after are great ****en posts, i agree totally, Lampley warps peoples minds, not mine however wright won, cause hittin someone on the gloves dont mean **** to me.

            i think we all knew that taylor would get the fight in his favor and that he would not deserve it. taylor, dibella and hbo are turning boxing into big time wrestling with thier fake fights.

              Collazo didn't even get a draw against Hatton.

                    Built 2 Last, welcome to my ignore list.

                    Single-handedly the dumbest post I've ever read.

                    a) That was caused by a headbutt
                    b) Super close fights aren't robberies. It's idiots like you who throw around the word "robbery" to close fights that could've been scored either way. Holyfield / Lewis was a robbery, not this.
