I just might go for a Taylor win in this fight....


Taylor has an excellent jab, but so does the Winkster. Taylor's athletic but Winky has the best defense in the game. Taylor tires, while Winky keeps disciplined. Taylor's sloppy technically while Winky is precise.

Taylor's bigger, that's the only thing I see going for him, his strength. His jab may be able to penetrate Winky's pillar defense. Although Taylor, if I remember correctly, does have problems with southpaws. Wasn't Raul Marquez a southpaw? Taylor looked horrible in that fight even though he won.

This could be Winky's biggest test IMO. Trinidad doesn't have heart at this point and was exposed by Winky, also Shane's a little man who was a shell of his former self after the Forrest Dissaster.

I think Taylor wants to prove something in this fight. IMO he's the hungrier fighter coming in, because he feels he didn't perform well in both Hopkins fights.

Also Winky's defense works better against smaller men who load up on punches. Taylor loads up, that's a bad thing, he's going to have to think volume and use his youthful body to his advantage if he wants to defeat the Winky Defense.
