What was your scorecard?

I had it a draw, and if Taylor didn't coast the last few rounds he would of won handily imo, easily the more active fighter and his punches had alot more snap than Winky's, basically alot more power.
He was also in better condition, he still looked fresh while Winky was really feeling the presure...he was tired.

6-6 in my opinion, Taylor landed the harder shots while Winky fought better Technically, I felt Jermain should have pressed the action more in the later rounds, it seems like he runs out of gas laten (remember both Hopkins fights)

I had

5 rounds to Taylor

and

7 to Winky

Taylor hit gloves all night execpt about 5 shots

actually alot of those straight right hands went through Winky's guard...
Winky was too slow on the night to earn a win, if anything Taylor should of won because he is the champion.

I had Winky 115-113, a draw was ok but I don't see how Taylor won more than 6 rounds, Winky landed the cleaner punches and more of them.

Taylor should have won. his rights were going through, he was even out jabbing wright at times!.

(HITMAN- 5 SHOTS? WHAT WERE YOU WATCHING, Brazil vs jamaica!)

i had it 116-114 taylor. thats how i scored it. Taylor looked much stronger and better conditioned. Looked far busier too.

115-113 to Wright...

The majority of Taylors shots hit Wrights guard.... Wright was keeping Taylor in the corners and on the ropes a lot of the time and hitting Taylor more.

The judges must have been from the same boxing school as the HBO guys... who kept getting excited it Taylor blasted away at Winky's elbows...

Wright worked more too, always coming forwards the whole fight.

Close fight, I have Taylor the first and a few middle rounds but Wright won it for me.

With Winky's number score first.

1: 10-9
2: 10-9
3: 9-10
4: 10-9
5: 10-9
6: 9-10
7: 9-10
8: 9-10
9: 9-10
10: 10-10
11: 10-9
12: 10-9

So 116-114 to Wright

Sooooooo many of Taylor's shots were hitting Winky's gloves and arms. While Winky through a lot less and damaged less, when he did throw, he generally connected more often and let his punches go in bunches. I believe he done enough for the win although If Taylor had got a win I wouldnt say he had to give Winky a rematch after his antics in the arrangement of the fight and storming off after the decision. The draw should really mandate a rematch though. And I would love ot see that again, was a great fight.

funny how everyone says that Taylor's shots were hitting elbows and arms, since Winky was breathing heavily in the corner and had a frustrated look on his face.
The power was obviously bothering him

So you were the supervisor for Barrera/Juarez!!!! I think you mean 115/114 Wright ;)

I had it almost the same, except I scored Taylor for the first, and Wright in the tenth, thus I had it 114/114.

HAHA oops. I guess you could of scored either of those either way. I gave Winky the first as he dictated the pace in my opinion and Taylor looked to struggle with it IMO.

Of course it was JT is a big middleweight who's trademark is his power, but does that mean everyone who breathes heavy should lose a fight? He was still boxing and defending well DESPITE the distress JT's power was giving him. No reason we should penalise him for this.

I thought it was a draw too. It was a very even fight almost the whole way. Taylor threw more punches but didn't land as many clean ones. A lot of his punches were caught on Wright's gloves or arms. He had more power but it didn't really have much effect on Wright, who kept moving forward the whole fight until some time in the 12th round.

Honestly I expected Taylor to clinch more on the inside than he did. He only initiated a clinch around 2 or 3 times per round, hardly even noticeable. I suppose that Emanuel Steward impressed upon Taylor the need to stay busy the whole way against Wright, who landed a lot of jabs but never seemed to hurt Taylor at all.

A draw seemed like a fair result. Wright was very disappointed but he had no reason to be. Taylor's left eye was swollen shut for the last 2 or 3 rounds or else he might have been able to squeak by with a close win.

It was a good fight, much better than I expected, with few fouls and mostly just good boxing and good sportsmanship. I was really glad to see it since I've been disappointed quite a few times recently. :)

7 rounds to 5 for Ronald Winky Wright
