Re: Winky Wright was lucky to get a draw IMO...
Winky outlanded Taylor 103 of 335 jabs (31%) while Taylor landed 41 of 308 (13%). From a fighter that was to dominate with his jab...he didn't.
He didn't dominate period.
Throughout the entire fight Taylor landed 163 of 703 punches thrown (23%) & Wright landed 226 of 643 (35%).
I'm sorry...but throwing shots & being on the low end of the percentages thrown or punching a man's defense does not win a fight.
Dickhead or not...he won the fight. ;)

I scored it live 116-112 for Taylor
I watched it again today without the sound and scored it 115-113 for Taylor
I got to say though I though HBO was cheerleading for Taylor a little bit.
I liked taylor: I will always take good solid punches over pitter patter.
Re: Winky Wright was lucky to get a draw IMO...
I could agree with 115-113 Taylor. If Taylor hadn't taken off the last two rounds it would have been more.
