    Taylor will get better after this fight (or I hope he does so we don't continue to have these kind of shady outcomes).

        Winky's face looked like that because of headbutts just like Taylor's faced looked.

          The fact is Taylor has gon back to back to back against possibly the two baddest technichal and defensive fighters in the sport, and for him to win 2 of the 3 and draw the third, it shows alot! The guy is only 27 and has only 26 fights under his belt and is the UNDISPUTED CHAMP, i dont care what anyone says but Winky didnt win the fight tonight and Taylor sureley didnt lose it, but a draw is very reasonable, I believe however that if Taylor keeps improving and keeps the "ill fight anybody i dont care" attitude will fair very well in the MW division! He however shouldnt take a fight with Calzaghe until 2007 or 8 and if and when he does rematch Winky should come out aggressive and realize that the man cant hurt him! Also he should think about fighting a few bums wit E-Steward in his corner or go back to Pat Burns becuz i didnt think he looked as good as he could have!

            He kept his hands down all night, his back was against the ropes about half the entire fight, and very lazy with his jab

              My opinion of him changed drastically.

              I wasn't aware that he had this kind of heart. there were times that he just laid on the ropes and absorbed clean shots over and over, and no avail.

              It's not like Wink punches hard, but he punches. And Taylor was getting hit, and getting hit often.

              I was impressed with his ability to stay sharp with his power punching attempts so late in the fight.

              Yes, I think he's alot better of a fighter than I previously thought. I never gave him credit.....because he never really beat anyone in my book, but this draw was more impressive than anything I've ever seen from him.

                Hes only getting better, so the fact that hes getting wins and raws against great fighters isnt hurting him. I have no idea why he kept backing himself into the ropes though. Either way if they were to fight again Im sure Winky would try to stick and move more. His cover up defense was not very effective. Taylor was getting through the defense a lot.

                    Tough call, Draw was fair but I had Winky ahead by 1 round.

                      Yeah, that was a ***** move by Wright.
