The punch stats can be interpreted in different ways...Originally Posted by Clydey_2_Times
It shows Taylor was busier
Wright without doubt was the better defensive fighter, but Taylor was more aggressive, and IMO he controlled the pace of the fight, with Wright fighting in spurts.
Taylor was the better ring general, seemingly instinctively knowing how to impress the judges, whilst Wright was the better boxer, using his experience to keep the younger fighter in check.
And on top of this, to generalize, American judges (in particular Vegas Judges) tend to reward effective aggressiveness, and Chuck Giampa is a Vegas judge. So from that point of view it can argued Taylor fought a smart fight as well.
