I think Taylor won the first two Hopkins fights and drew with Winky and beat Spinks. Actually it happened how it happened. I thought he could have beat Winky but that was a close fight. But I go with the judges. People saying Spinks won last night is what I am not really understanding. I can see why the other fights you question since they were close, but Spinks fought a good fight to land fast punches, but did not fight to win. All it takes nowadays to win is to survive to the end of the fight and land a few punches in each round? Champions do not come that easy. You have to judge who is landing the effective punches and the better punches. If neither guy is punching much, you have to judge who landed more.. And Taylor was sharper with his counters. Clearly. There shouldn't be a question of who won, just of why Taylor didn't punch much. I just think with Spinks style and speed, Taylor didn't want to make a mistake. Fact is Spinks probably hit harder than it seemed or Taylor would have thrown more punches. But Taylor won clearly.

Taylor
I havn't disagreed with any of the decisions thus far but some were very close. He's been lucky in that every close fight he's had the judges have seen it his way.
But Winky should have beat him. I had him ahead going into the last round but he threw it away by not engaging.
Hopkins started waaaaaaaaaaaaay too late in the first fight. He didn't even get going until round 8 at which point he needed a knockout or at least a couple knockdowns to win.
The second fight he started a couple rounds earlier but Taylor suprosed everyone by winning the last couple rounds.
Winky was his most controversial fight imo, but I felt a draw was fair.
Spinks didn't beat him, although I think an argument could well have been made for him being stripped of his title and purse witheld becuase he sucked so bad.
like I said before, it doesnt matter, Calzaghe will avenge hopkins and Winky...
CALZAGHE IS GOING TO MASSACRE TAYLOR :-)

Didn't bother to watch it after the 1st snore-fest
Winky by 2-4 rounds
Neither one of them deserved to win, so I'd call it a draw. But if I had to pick someone it would be Spinks.

Taylor vs Hopkins 1? Hopkins.
Taylor vs Hopkins 2? Taylor.
Taylor vs Winky? Winky.
Taylor vs Spinks? Spinks
I feel Taylor won both fights with Hopkins.
I feel Winky edged out Taylor 7-5, but I'm not complaining because it was an extremely close fight.
And finally, I feel that Taylor deserved the decision against Spinks.
I was trashing the Hopkins/Wright fight last week or the week before... HA!
After last night the Hopkins/Wright fight is going to be a barnburner. I'm going with Wright for the first time in BoxingGorilla history.

Yup. It's hard to argue that one. I always try but nothing profound ever leaves my lips. I usually mention the 12th round slacking by Wright and Taylor's power shots while backed against the ropes (I think that's what I witnessed.)
Still, folks like you and Wacko have their own truths about what happened that make perfect sense to me.

The first time through, I called it a draw. I actually did a RBR with an updated score and felt a draw was in order and that the 12th round was very close. Upon rewatching, I think I got caught up in the moment of the 12th being the only real exciting round of the fight and scored it for Hopkins the second time around. It was a close fight though, so I can see it going either way. Hopkins shot himself in the foot by not putting his foot on the gas pedal.
Jermain Taylor
Jermain's best performance in my opinion. I had him winning 115-113, he won the close rounds which is something he didn't do in their first fight and he won the latter rounds too. Taylor won that fight. Close but clear imo.
Winky Wright
Now this is the gift of Taylor's life. No way in hell did Taylor win that fight, and only in some ways do I feel he deserved a draw. I thought Winky won 7 rounds without question at all, and I had him winning the 12th aswell. I've never been more discusted with boxing then I was on the night of this fight. The night is a story in itself, but my boy got robbed. He should be middleweight champion of the world right now. I've written about 100 pages on this one, I think it's best we leave it at that. Credit to Jermain for taking this fight, but he did not win nor draw anywhere but the judges scorecards. Taylor fought very well though, and the fight when punch by punch how I expected it too. But that wasn't enough for him to keep his title imo.
Haven't seen the Spinks fight.
Gonna watch the Spinks fight tonight, but much as I think Taylor is overrated and gutless I think he nicked both fights with Hopkins and 'just' edged Winky :-\
Taylor
B-Hop
Taylor (and it breaks me to say that because I love Winky)
Spinks (by a country fucking mile. How can Taylor win if he doesn't throw punches. Spinks ran but at least he threw punches. You can't win fights for doing naff all!)
I agree entriely with everything you saidQuote:
