7-5 for Winky
114-114 ... or 6 rounds - 6 rounds ... A draw!
I had it 7 rounds to 5 for taylor. I gave Taylor 7 of the first ten and Winky the last two.Once again it was hard to tell how effective Jermain was being but he was often simply more active. I'm sure Taylor did hit alot of arms and gloves but when he started to throw Winky's offense halted and he got backed up. Winky needed to be more active and a little less cautious.
Winky landed more, threw less, showed better defence, controlled the pace, forced the fight.Quote:

No, they didn't. Had the crowd not ooh'd and ahh'd everytime Taylor banged the gloves Wright would have gotten that decision.Quote:

Might wanna check the punch stats.Quote:

i had it 115-112 winky.
That was fatigue from forcing the action. Winky was the aggressor. How do you manage to deduce that fatigue = punches going through the guard?Quote:

If boxing was as simple as counting punches, well there would be no need for judges. ;)Quote:

That wasn't my point, BK. No need to be patronising.Quote:

Punch stats don't prove who won the fight, but they demonstrate who was more effective in what way.
The punch stats are opinion of someone/people counting punches.Quote:

Wright as always was cute, and made Taylor miss tonnes (literally) of punches.
And this fight was scored over 12 rounds, not one. Wright won his rounds cleaner on my card, but Taylor won just as many IMO, so I can understand the frustrations of the Winky fans, but hey that is 10 point must, and as I stated, I can see a 7/5 fight to either man, but I would struggle to comprehend any bigger advantage... to either fighter. ;)
You can hardly criticise Taylor for fighting a cautious fight, he was throwing punches furiously all night, keeping his hands low the whole time. If anything I thought he was a little reckless at times and I was half expecting to burn himself out. But in no way shape or form was he remotely like the Taylor that fought Hopkins.Quote:
