If Winky truely got cheated, how come Taylor didn't get the win. THe judge who scored the fight a draw could have gave Taylor just one more round to satisfly the Taylor supportive crowd.
Sounds like a conspiracy to me.

I realize nobody is caring about this point, but I think its a good one. If Taylor is such the HBO darling, how come he didn't get the win?
I mentioned this point earlier
People on this forum are crying over spilt milk, complaining how Winky never won because Taylor is a HBO fighter. Just a desperate attempt to drag him down, when the reality is that the fight was indeed close and a draw was actually a good decision.

Because getting a draw is already a win for him, he keeps his crown and have his pride intact. They just can't stomach giving him the fight where he was clearly outboxed, cornered and battered.

RIP, Crazy Samurai. Thank you for your Drumming.
So what your are saying is that, between the handful of minutes that the fight ended and that they called the scores that: some shifty HBO executive met with the three judges to allign their scores into a draw? Why a draw, why didn't they just give him one more point and he would have won the fight and had a perfect record at the end.Originally Posted by spade
I think Winky was boxing better than Taylor, but by no means did he batter him. It takes a wide imagination to think that either fighter was battered. Taylor easily gave as much has he got.
It wasn't a conspiracy, it was just a bad decision imo.Originally Posted by tuckwopat
If all three judges would have had Winky winning, that would have been bad. I think if you look at the general consensus of this board, half the people either think Taylor won or draw, or that Winky won. Seems like a splint opinion on the topic, which makes the decision look pretty good.Originally Posted by SecondRoundKO

the last couple of big fights
have led to so much points of discussion

He is an HBO fighter & not only do commentators tend to favor them...so do the scores.Originally Posted by The_One77
Never beg a 40 dollar hooker...specially after she's just turned down your mom's credit card!!
DLH was an HBO fighter who had the commentators on his nutts too. Didn't exactly help him with Tito or the Mosley rematch did itOriginally Posted by wacko3205
They gave the 12th to Taylor which ensured a draw!!!
If they hadn't then Winky would have won a MD as he was ahead on two judges scorecards going into the 12th.
it was a bad decision, i only wish winky could have left no doubt in those senile judges minds by absolutely dominating those last 2 rounds....Originally Posted by SecondRoundKO
i had him winning, but to take the belts you should never leave anything in doubt in the minds of dubious decision makers....
I gave Taylor the 12th and my scorecard had it even as well.
One judge actually gave Winky the 12th. I didn't deserrve it, but he got it.Originally Posted by Starr
F*ck Gary Shaw. He said because of this fight he's never promoting in Memphis again, as if the fans had anything to do with it. And the judges weren't even from Memphis. They're acting like sore losers when they didn't even lose. He can go to hell.
