Wright landed a lot of clean shots although he didn't have Taylor's power. It's not Taylor's fault but I think the decision rests on the fact that it was his hometown and cable barons have decided he's their boy for the next few years.

No distrespect to Taylor as he showed more variety of punch in this fight and he's no bum having been very competitive with a couple of the best fighters around. I think it was Wright's fight though.
I wish people would stop saying that. Memphis is NOT Jt's hometown, it is Little Rock and believe me, there is no love loss between those two cities. I heard as many cheers for winky as taylor so lets stop playing the hometown card which is wrong.
