I never got that line of thinking, that just because Winky "boxed" in the last round, that he lost. No, Winky didn't do that much in the twelth but what did Taylor do? Nothing, even less than Winky.

I don't get HBO's love affair with Taylor, he's F****** boring and the commentary in that fight was so ridiculously biased in favor of Taylor. A good example is the twelth. What exactly did Taylor do in that round?
I disagree,neither did ANYTHING in the 12th. Winky came to take JT's titles,it was the championship rounds in what was a close fight and Winky is experienced. You look at all those factors plus knowing that JT gasses late,shouldn't the older more experienced guy who has been there so many times have taken the intiative.? It was a dissappointing finish from Winky.I had the last round a draw.
See I disagree. For one thing I care less about a contender having to "take the title from the champion." I don't understand that, at the end of a round I decide who boxed better and I score the round based on only that. I score title fights just the exact same way as I do any fight.

And Winky IMO clearly landed the only real punches in the twelth. He did more, although not much, but still he landed more punches. Taylor did absolutely nothing, even less than Winky. I think it was a bit dumb on Winky's part what he did, but he still landed more punches and so I gave him the round.
