Uhh...what beating? No there was no beating on either side. No way. Here's my thoughts on the punch track from another thread.

I don't even think it's accurate, it must count deflected punches that grazed the face. Winky landed flush with almost all of his landed punches, no way did Taylor land more then 20 punches flush that entire fight. I just don't get it. I really don't get it. I mean...it was a close fight but at the same time it wasn't. Round wise it was fairly close, even though Wright won clearly imo but how did he not get that decision? He deserved that decision. It wa his fight. He was there to lose the fight, and he lost some rounds by staying flatfooted but he won the fight. He got caught through the middle a few times, nothing major, he was so crisp with his punches. He won the fight. Winky knows he won the fight. We all should. I mean...it wasn't even hard to score imo. I just saw the ESPN highlights of the fight, it shows Taylor's big combo of the fight...every single punch, EVERY single punch landed on the gloves. All of them. It stopped Winky from coming forward but no way in hell did it hurt him. I love Taylor more and more each fight. He did himself good this fight imo. He looked pretty good, but just to green imo. But he got the generous decision. It was entirely to reminiscent of the Vargas fight. Damn it.

And a lot of those body shots hit the elbows. A lot of them.

People - judges, commentators, writers, fans alike - need to learn the difference between a big combination or a big combination that doesn't land and does nothing but temporarily freeze your opponent. Taylor's high spots were of the latter variety. Wright was so sharp, and Taylor wasn't. It's as simple as that.

Nice posting, Amat

Having just watched the fight again, I agree completely. Winky WON that fight. Taylor looks busier but those punches are not landing as frequently as Winky is. the punches are hitting or deflecting the gloves. Winky meanwhile was able to get Jermaine onto the ropes repeatedly and get off beautiful shots to the body and head....Taylor had his moments and he does win rounds, but Winky wins more of them IMO...
