The draw was fair in my eyes.I couldn't comfortably give the win to either man.Too many close rounds.It's a scoring dilemma!Winky outlanded him and was more accurate,but Taylor landed the harder shots and outworked him in some rounds.Close and exciting fight.
LOL!! Wright doesn't want the rematch

I won't say anything about this until I hear about what "other fights" he has in mind. No matter what, if Winky stays at middleweight, these two will cross paths again.Comment

Regardless if it was home town or not Winky should be used to that already since he's fought the majority of his career in other fighters back yards over seas. Winky should've done more if he wanted to win that bad. The same thing could be said for Taylor but, Wright should not be acting as if he was robbed. It was a close fight and that's all it was.Originally posted by oldgringoIf i'm not mistaken isn't Tenn right next to Arkansas on the map? Was this not a HUGE Taylor crowd?
Hometown if you ask me. It wasn't directly in Taylor's home city, but close enough. It's like Lacy fighting Calz in England, when Wales is not THAT far away.Last edited by Soldier01; 06-19-2006, 09:34 AM.Comment

What other fighters is he going to move on to? Hard feelings aside whether he feels he was robbed or not, Taylor is THE MAN at middleweight, there is no bigger fight for Winky. If he feels he's the man at 160 then come back and prove it, make it so bad that the judges won't even be a factor, and make some big $$$ while doing it.Originally posted by toyboy33I hope he doesn't rematch him. I like Taylor, but let this fight be a big question mark that follows him the rest of his career. Every fighter has controversy. This is his! He was suppossed to be dominant as to maybe KO little Winky Wright. Wright should move on to other fighters.Comment

Did you see Winkys busted up face in the interview after the fight? More than a few punches landed clean on his face, probably more than in any fight he's ever been in.
Taylors left eye was swelling only a little, then made much much worse by a headbutt, otherwise he was barely marked.
When Winky finds out he can only make $500K fighting bums, or $4M fighting a rematch, guess what? We'll see a rematch - this time in Las Vegas.
If Taylor smarts up and avoids the rope-a-dope rubbish, he'll win an easy UD. He needs to LISTEN to his corner.Comment

Everyone is taking what Wright said in the wrong way.
He basically said that if Taylor is going to be given decisions(gift decisions according to him) then he doesn't want a rematch.
Everyone heard him say no and immediately ran to the messageboards and said Wright doesn't a rematch without even hearing the entire interview.
That was said in the heat of the moment. Wright will take the rematch once his head cools down.Comment
