    Wright may have looked like he gave away the last round because he starting moving and boxing. The first 11 rounds you saw him come forward so it looked like he gave it away...

    Taylor didnt excatly do anything dramatic in the 12th...if anything it was an even round.

      He threw punches in bunches.

        Nope. People were jaded and confused by the 12th round. Wright went from being a human tank with a high guard, moving slowly forward to corner Taylor to a boxer. Suddenly, because Wright was on his toes, moving, and just throwing his jab with 1 or 2 straight left's he somehow lost the round? Please. Taylor threw 1 flurry that most of the shots were blocked. Winky controlled the pace by dancing around and making Taylor confused.

        Changing gears from how you won other rounds doesn't suddenly mean you can't win it.

          1 time and he missed 90% of them. i dont get it...it's not like taylor was attacking wright with any force? he sat there and watched wright jab& move for a minute and a half, then threw 1 flurry and got hit by a straight left at the end of the round. that was my take....unless the one flurry was enough to negate the rest of what wright did.

            I have to disagree with you too PBF34... Wright hit Taylor with clean shots that round and Taylor only landed on his gloves some more.

              I cant put it any better than this.

              Wright comes out swinging with a series of lefts. Taylor winds to unleash his right but does not have an opening. Wright is measuring again, sticking a right jab. Wright keeps his distance this time, then throws a right-left. Wright appears more active. Taylor is waiting. Taylor gets in a combination with a minute left in the round. Taylor becomes more aggressive now. Twenty seconds left. Wright moves around not punching, as if he's won the fight. Taylor wins the round virtually by default.

                Wright connected with a few single shots...

                Taylor flurried but nothing significant...

                Both guys did nothing for long periods of time...

                even round , c'mon ?

                  What about the straight left at the end of the round when they came together in a clinch? I thought it was a good punch.

                    I would definitely agree with an even round because both fighers didn't do enough to win the round... There was a lot of bouncing and no punching. However to say Taylor won the round is just crazy.

                      The problem with your analysis of the last round is it only mentions a single jab which Winky landed. He in the reality which we all live in, landed more than that.
