    Winky Wright vs. Jermain Taylor - Who'd Win the Rematch???

    First, a point I"d like to make -- though the fight is NOT finalized, it looks as if it's in the works to be put together...

    REGARDLESS, if the two were to fight a rematch come December, who do you think would win between the two, and by what type of result?

    Bring on the predictions...

    By form, I think it's now safe to assume that any close fight Taylor is in, he will be regarded favourably.

    That said, while I believe Wright won the first fight, I do believe that Taylor will have learnt enough from the first fight to take the second more convincingly. He's shown that his power is enough to let him hang in there with the older, smaller Wright despite the technical deficiencies/inexperience. He actually impressed me by being able to punch through Wright's guard on occasion.

      i say taylor, if he improves his skills and learns not to back against the ropes without trying to lure winky in, then he should win it.

          Just like the first fight it's still a pick'em fight. It could go either way again. But a UD or by K.O. i'm picking Taylor.

          I figure that just like in the Bhops fight, Taylor learned a lot of things about the opponent in the first fight so he'll come in into the fight much prepared for Winky's tactics.

              I think what gives Taylor a slight edge (aside from his raw talent) over Winky started way back in May when Taylor hired the best in the game in trainer Emanuel Steward to come in and coach him midway through his training session prior to the Winky fight.

              You look at Steward, that guy is a legend, he really does have the Midas touch.

              So now that the two have been working together full time from the start, you can only expect big things from Taylor.

                yeah i think some further training with steward will help tighten things up and make him utilize his abilities more. i see a clearer taylor UD.
