Both will come back to bite Taylor & HBO in the a**.

I'm a fan of Taylor...but I'm not blind to his faults or what just happened.
So basically, anyone who agrees with the outcome is blindly devoted? And I don't see how marketing could sway anyones opinion since Winky has been on the good end of the marketing stick for a long time. I think Hopkins won the first match, but since that fight Taylor can do nothing right in the public eye.

Winky isn't doing himself any good by crying foul to the media, there are actual organizations that he can cry to where it might make a difference. I like Winky a lot, but he and his promoters are being jackasses by blaming Memphis, blaming the judges who aren't even from Memphis, and blaming HBO who he's happy to accept his paycheck from. I'll a $20 bet that says his next fight will also be on HBO. If he thinks he done such a good job, then why not take the rematch to Florida?
