Just another one of Wacko's Drunken Round by Rounds...Taylor vs Wright.

[amat]

I just might go for a Taylor win in this fight....


Taylor has an excellent jab, but so does the Winkster. Taylor's athletic but Winky has the best defense in the game. Taylor tires, while Winky keeps disciplined. Taylor's sloppy technically while Winky is precise.

Taylor's bigger, that's the only thing I see going for him, his strength. His jab may be able to penetrate Winky's pillar defense. Although Taylor, if I remember correctly, does have problems with southpaws. Wasn't Raul Marquez a southpaw? Taylor looked horrible in that fight even though he won.

This could be Winky's biggest test IMO. Trinidad doesn't have heart at this point and was exposed by Winky, also Shane's a little man who was a shell of his former self after the Forrest Dissaster.

I think Taylor wants to prove something in this fight. IMO he's the hungrier fighter coming in, because he feels he didn't perform well in both Hopkins fights.

Also Winky's defense works better against smaller men who load up on punches. Taylor loads up, that's a bad thing, he's going to have to think volume and use his youthful body to his advantage if he wants to defeat the Winky Defense.

Good post but I want to focus on one tiny thing you said. Taylor tires. Imo this fight is pretty close going into the championship rounds, with Winky winning by no more then a couple rounds but...I think Winky wins because he could fight 20 rounds if he had to.

cc to you and WACKO!!!
Here's what I have to say about the fight:

I thought Winkster could have pulled off a one point win. BUT C'MON!!! WINKY NEEDS TO FINISH WHAT HE STARTED AND FIGHT THE LAST ROUND!!!

He let himself down and his fans. If your up against everybody, HBO, Arkansas, because everybody hates your boring style then.... you know what
... YOU HAVE TO CLOSE THE SHOW!

You would think that since the fight was basically in JT's backyard he would have been pouring 100% into every round. If you are in some ones backyard you cant afford to take a round off no matter how much you think you have dominated the fight. Especially with Winky's hard luck, why take the chance.

It was 30 seconds...like seriously it was 30 seconds. Such a big deal is being made of 30 seconds.
