    Damn son another one who scored it 116-112.. No way Winky was up by that much. You can't just put your hands up and get hit the majority of the fight and expect to win.

      Very good commentary, IMO...

      I had it 114-114, but I gave Winky a couple rounds that could've gone either way. I could easily see someone having it 115-113 for either guy, or even 116-112 for either fighter... anything beyond that is ridiculous. Think about it, there were at least 4 rounds that could've gone either way. If you gave 2 to Winky, and 2 to Taylor, you've got a draw. If you gave 3 to Taylor, 115-113, and obviously all 4 to Wright, 116-112. No one is really wrong in their opinion, but you can't expect people to all judge those very close rounds exactly the same. I would love to see 15 round championship bouts return, but I fear that boxers would just take more time off between fights, so there will always be pros and cons for both sides of the argument.

        I had Taylor winning this fight 115-113, but we all know this fight was close and it could've gone either way.

        What's the point of arguing who won this fight, thread after thread about the same ****.

            So someone's on crack just because they scored it for Taylor? That's an awful lot of people, including about 1/3 of the fans in here according to the poll we had set up. It was about even...1/3 for Taylor, 1/3 for Wright and 1/3 for a draw. It would seem as though you are toking on that pipe there, Raesaad. Stop with all the nonsense.

            I scored it 116-114 for Taylor. 6 rounds to 4 with 2 even. Hard fight to score...

                False. There was no majority at all. The fans were pretty much split among the 3 options.

                      ....and Al Gore won the popular vote in 2000.

                      So much for polls.
