Winky did a great job though, and it was probably the best and most competative fight of the year so far.

10/10 for excitment, gotta see it again.
Let me just say this...I like both fighters...but I wanted Wright to win...& I think that he did.

Watch the fight again & check out that first headbutt. It totally took Wright out of his game. Wright still came back & did what he does...effective aggression. Wright backed Taylor up the entire fight...maybe a few rounds he took off to rest...but that should not have happened against the Undisputed Middleweight Champion of the World...hence the reason that Taylor's position is so disputed.
Wright came forward half the fight, and fought in center half the fight. Winky dominated on the ropes, Taylor dominated in the center. Personally, if Winky would have kept the steady output for the last few rounds, he might have won. But I think he was nearly gassed himself, and couldn't keep up the pressure. Taylor was actually punching his way off the ropes the last few rounds.
