Taylor wins the last round cuz he`s the Champ and Winky had to take it from him , if your in a Champinship fight and your not the Champ and you stop fighting ,YOU DONT WIN THAT ROUND !
So Hopkins should still be champ cuz what i saw in the 1st fight was Taylor hurt late in the fight. What did Taylor do in that fight? NOthing.
The minute Taylor throws a combo that gets blocked, it's automatically the end of the round for Taylor 10-9. Even if he sat down in the corner and just let Wright hit him for the remaining 2 minutes or more. The ballsack huggers hear the gloves making a popping noise, and go wild.....jumping out of their seats.
Everytime I see it now I get ticked off. I can just see where Winky is coming from. I wanna hear what he thinks about that last round.
You didn't see the post-fight interview in the locker room? Here's how it went, word for word
Merchant: "You were told by your corner to go out and fight in the last 12th round and you decided to stay away and box.. did you throw away the championship?"
Wright: "12th Round, He didn't do nothin. You know, if i didn't do nothin, he didn't do nothin. So, how did he win?"
Merchant: "Why did you revert to your old style in the 12th round? Cause you thought you won?.."
Wright: "Yeah, i knew i was winning, like said we in his hometown, they gave him what he wanted, but i proved to everyone i'll go anywhere, fight anybody, and you know the fans saw who won that fight."
I agree with Jack on this one. When the judges were being announced in the beginning of the fight & I saw Chuck Giampa's name, I kmew Winky was going to lose a decision. He's the same judge that gave Taylor 115-113 in the second Hopkins fight.I also thought Winky won the first round & the 12th. In the first round he backed Taylor up for most of the round out jabbing the jabber & landing some combos. In the 12th Winky once again backed him up flurried & blocked Taylor's one flurry towards the end.
