Thread: I saw the Taylor-Wright fight again

I do believe now that Wright did win by a bit.. I was drunk the first time and some punches that looked like they hit more solidly than they did for Taylor, but in overall Wright was the better man if by a small margin... however give Taylor his props people... there are few better people at fighting and personality wise in the sport.

at least you did come to your senses

Sad Clicks for the both of yall.

I saw the fight 3 times and i still agree that the fight was good that it ended in a draw.

Wright was over confident, but the man did not do enough to win the the three belts Taylor had to offer. Taylor was not like any fighter who would run. He fought toe-toe until the 12th.

I was sober the first time and a draw was fair, winky didnt do enough to take the belts

I had it even going into the last round. Personally I don't think either of them won the 12th so a draw was fair.

Winky definetly finished looking the stronger of the two although I feel that was due to Jermain's eye closing over, which has already been established as being caused by a headbutt.

Very close fight, but a draw was fair.

Winky should quit moaning and take a rematch. Although I feel Jermain is still improving so Wink'y chances are diminishing quickly.

If he leaves it more than a year Taylor will be too much for him.

surely a draw is a fair result.

could of gone either way

Winky won no doubt in my mind 116-112.

at least your honest.......after reading this I got crushed on Jack and cokes and watched it again as well...looked like Taylor was hitting him but when I got about 3 inches from the screen I could finally tell the punches were bouncing of his arms....without doing that it looked like Taylor was landing bombs.....

Exactly dude he wasnt connecting with anything.

i think Taylor won by a point or two after seeing the fight again.

yeah...someone was like "WInky was moving when Jermain was hitting Him" but I was trying to tell him that you will still move even when you block the punch completely because of the inertia....or force of the punch...not just because it landed flush....

You must have your own system of scoring! The heck how you come out with 116-112??

The fight was a draw, get over it! It was fair & sturm is next if the promoters come to an agreement
