Wright was backing up Taylor, blocking almost everything, and then he was landing almost everything he wanted to including combinations while Taylor's back was against the ropes. There is no way that fight was close. In Vargas fight, its funny how even the HBO commentators(Who were trying to hype Vargas(17,0(17)) at the time still had Wright winning. Vargas was hardly landing anything, and I think people just weren't used to Wright's style yet, but that fight was the most one sided IMO and the easiest to see that Wright was robbed.
That;s where we differ I'm afraid. I saw Winky backing JT up for sure but I also saw JT involuntarily backing himself up. I saw Winky initiate the action,but I saw JT fighting back from the ropes. I saw WInky block punches and still get puched back,such was the force of JT's punches on him.

I have no care in the world for what Lampley or HBO says or has winning. If a fights' contraversial,I re-watch it with the sound down or a different broadcast to get a different perspective. My memory is rusty on the Vargas Winky fight but I'm going to go rewatch that later and post again. There's no way a Wright v JT fight was a robbery imo. I thought it was close.
