Hard to be a boxing fan right now...

well then, run away like winky.

Are you kidding? You mean the Winky who backed Taylor up and forced the fight for 11 rounds?

THen throw it all away at the very end. I guess you could say he was Munsoned.

What are you talking about? it was fatigue. if you hadn't noticed, most people think Winky won the 12th round. What does that say about Taylor's approach to the last round?

Who is most people? Most people in your house, neighborhood, in your head? Whatever the case was, Winky's corner told him he had the fight in the bag, so he chose not to fight. His fault.

I don't think Taylor won, I think the draw was a good call.

Most people who have commented on the fight.

Winky's corner told him that he wins the fight if he wins the last round. I love how you conveniently invented some memory of Dan Birmingham telling Winky to coast.

Taylor was less active that Winky in the last. Care to answer the question: what does that say about Taylor's approach to the 12th, since you're so critical of Winky being gassed in the 12th?

I believe most people who have commented on the fight view the draw as being adequate. I've read about 9 news stories that talk about it being and appropriate draw, and on the poll that I put up on this page, more people believe either Taylor won or it was a draw.

As for inventing something, I might be wrong, but I thought I either heard or read that his corner told him that he had the fight won. Either way, it doesn't matter. Taylor had a flurry in the final round when Winky was content to run when he should have fought. If he was gassed, too bad.
