Fights that piss you off

[Sleepwalker]

When a fighter is apparently ahead on the scorecards in the late rounds against a much more popular favorite, but then decides to go into cruise control/defensive mode, and ultimately blows the fight.

Fighters and trainers should know full well going into a fight that no lead is safe, especially against a favorite, yet they still resort to this absurdity.

Winky Wright had the fight in the bag against Jermaine Taylor, but decided to take the 12th rd off because he felt he had done enough, and it costed him. A draw it was.

I scored that narrowly for Winky. But you're right. I often wonder if they're taking their foot of the gas or just gassed or not able to take anymore punishment so they act like they're taking the round off. With how bad judging is you have to win every minute you can.
