    Taylor was doing exactly as bad as I think he was. Winky won the exchanges easily in the corner, until later in the fight. But despite Taylor's countering later in the fight, Winky was getting the best of it in the corners as he landed many clean shots. Taylor would often just sit there and do little to nothing.

    Taylor can TKO Winky, but not if he doesn't take Winky's aggression seriously. Taylor seems to think it's ok to get hit a lot just because Winky has mediocre power. That's how you lose fights.

    i also noticed taylor didn't mind getting hit by winkys punchs.

    what i dont' understand -well i do and don't- fighters as taylor clearly see the punch before it even lands and instead of getting out of the way they take the punch, but! sometime they forget to counter.

      who are you???????

      So really, it is not that 'simple' at all. You could score it for Taylor just as easily as Wright. It all depends on what you prefer...harder punches, or a higher volume of punches.

      Just because you land more punches every round, does not mean you win every round.
      agreed. it was a close fight where if you favor technical boxing, you give it to Wright or if you favor harder punching, you give it to Taylor... just keep in mind the sports not called "Punching", its called "Boxing".

        The fact is and its dead true and has been quoted by a few boxing writers.
        When you want to win a belt you have to TAKE it by giving your all for 12 rounds, winky didn't take it and thats why it was a draw.

          true. but back then it was more savage then it is today, so even that statement doesnt' favor winky

            "He was just on the local news here in St. Pete saying how he would consider it if the next one isn't so close to Arkansas. I figured he wanted one, he was just really p1ssed off last night."
            Told you guys, give him his 2 weeks after the fight to clear his head.
