HBO had Taylor winning, Sky Sports had Taylor winning, Boxingscene had Taylor winning the fight, ESPN had Taylor winning the fight, Max boxing, and some other websites.
I scored it 115-113 for Taylor, Remember Taylor is the champion and Winky has to do enough to win the fight, which he did'nt. It was Taylors eye that was shut which made this a bit close that it could have even been a draw, he could'nt even see anything with one of his eye, Winky did NOTHING in round 12, yes I said NOTHING, both men did'nt do much, but this was similar to ODLH vs Trinidad..the judges saw the aggresor, You guys need to remember Jermain Taylor, the Inexperienced fighter beat Hopkins twice and beat Wright but got a draw, he is STILL GREEN, Taylor would just get better in the years, thats why Winky refused to a rematch.
Winky and Hopkins styles were never meant to make you look halfway decent...Taylor fought his heart out versus 2 of the best defensive and smartest fighters and most experienced UNDISPUTED champions in the world...of this era...in 3 fights
Taylor is the champion and Winky has to take that title, he did'nt do enough to beat the green Taylor.
Now we talk about a rematch, and this is what happens:
Taylor: "I'll fight anyone anywhere anytime and if he wants to fight again lets do it.
Winky: "I dont want no rematch"
He knows Taylor will be better in the rematch, and Manny Steward can just improve him, No one can argue that Taylor was the the busier fighter in this, threw more punches overall, and more aggresive.
