WINKY vs TAYLOR ROUND 1

Post by the13r »

ROUND 1


RASTA666
WINKY 10-9
I can see this round going to either guy depending on the subtle aspects the scorer is looking for but in the end rounds are scored mainly on the ten point must system and Winky simply did more. This could be one of the contentious rounds as I can understand how others could see it for Taylor.


LURKYSHAKA
WINKY 10-9
Close round but Winky more consistent and landing the only real punches that mattered while Taylor hit arms and gloves.


ERISON
TAYLOR 10-9
Taylor was the stronger man, and was able to impose his will on Winky this round. Nice body work and jabs, accompanied by a high work rate puncuated the round. Winky as always has his jab pumping, but not much else.


GUYSTA
TAYLOR 10-9
Round one was a funny round to score. Winky through a boatload of jabs but only landed like 14 or 15 of which had NOTHING on them. He did land one good straight and a good body shot in the round also. But his jabs were simply flicks with nothing that would bother my 8 year old son. Jermain hit Winky's gloves a lot in the round. But he landed like 6 good jabs and 2 good rights to go along with a right that was half blocked. At the end of the round he sealed it with a great combo to the body.


LOSERONRIVER
TAYLOR 10-9
Alot of missed punches by both fighters. Taylor landed better punches in this round. Couple of body shots and hooking around the guard of Winky..


FIGHTFANATIC1
TAYLOR 10-9
JT lands a quick left hook at 2:36 of the first round right over Winkys jab. Winky persists and works the jab and lands a few. Most of the round JT threw the harder punches but had many of them blocked by Winkys gloves. Winky on the other hand threw mostly jabs and although was coming forward didn’t look like the ring general. Vicious body combo inside the last 10 seconds landed by JT coupled with his ability to control distance and tempo give him the round.


DREADLOCK214
TAYLOR 10-9
Both fighters had their jabs going early and often in this round. The difference in this round to me was that Taylor let the right hand fly and outworks Winky for most of the round. I thought Taylor did some good early work to the body that might make a difference later in the fight.


ILUVBOXING
EVEN 10-10
Even, story of the fight begins in the first round Wright with more punches JT harder shots

WINKY vs TAYLOR ROUND 2

Post by the13r »

Image

ROUND 2


RASTA666
WINKY 10-9
Very easy round to score. Taylor looked flat and lethargic and Winky came out rolling. I don’t think Taylor landed a tall. Winkys jab was going and he was mixing up nice and showing his turtle D to perfection.


LURKYSHAKA
WINKY 10-9
Similar to first round. Wright pushing the pace and forcing the fight. Simply that bit more accurate while Taylor not landing on target area.


ERISON
WINKY 10-9
Good stuff by Wright. Landing lead right hooks to the head and body. Straight lefts also landing at will. Jabs are coming consistantly. Taylor not landing much, save for a few straight rights through the guard. Winky's defense is tight, he's also pressuring Taylor well, forcing him to throw punches, few of which are getting to Winky.


GUYSTA
WINKY 10-9
A different Winky started this round. He really came in with the intent to get some respect and sat on his punches a lot better. His jab was much stiffer and his straights were a lot crisper. His defense was simply a forcefield as well. JT landed next to nothing this round and it was one of the easier rounds to score.


LOSERONRIVER
WINKY 10-9
Winky's pressure and punch output won this round. Taylr having trouble connecting with punches. While Winky's is on target.


FIGHTFANATIC1
WINKY 10-9
Winky comes in aggressive to start the round. JT still hooking over the jab. Two 1-2 combos at just over the 2 min mark look good. Big left by Winky at the 1 minute mark. Winky landing more in this round and his more aggressive style in this round and a few clean straight lefts get him this round.


DREADLOCK214
WINKY 10-9
A very close round, Winky continues to work the jab and press the action. Taylor loses the round in my eyes by spending a great deal of the round on the ropes or backing up.


ILUVBOXING
WINKY 10-9
Winky's round landing more often and catching taylor's punches

WINKY vs TAYLOR ROUND 3

Post by the13r »

Image

ROUND 3


RASTA666
TAYLOR 10-9
It was Winky who seemed to take this round off or it was Taylor actually trying to win it. Taylors jab was on point and very crisp. He kind of bullied Winky this rd landing well and controlling the round


LURKYSHAKA
TAYLOR 10-9
Decent round from Taylor. Found the target with better accuracy and landed the sharper blows to take round.


ERISON
TAYLOR 10-9
Taylor landing more, especially some good body shots. Jabs and straight rights are now getting through for Taylor. He pushing the smaller man around and outworking him. Both fighters were slightly staggered this round, Taylor by a hook, Winky by a jab.


GUYSTA
TAYLOR 10-9
For some ungodly reason Winky started the 3rd round much like the 1st. He was flicking his jab again and throwing his straights trying to land and not really caring if they did any damage or not. It seemed kind of lazy really. And in the process Jermain had one of his better rounds for the first 2 minutes. He landed some good shots in a 4 punch combo to start the round and then some great body shots and a left hook that was partially blocked. Winky did turn it on in the final minute and landed some decent punches and a few good jabs that actually had some purpose to them. But in the end it was a good round for Taylor and easy to score.


LOSERONRIVER
TAYLOR 10-9
Taylor's punching power is pushing the punches past Winky's guard, but Winky is still landing jabs.


FIGHTFANATIC1
TAYLOR 10-9
Winky again is pressing the action. JT however is throwing at winky walking in and lands a very clean jab and throws some bombs at winky that stop him momentarily. JT is actually stopping winky form coming forward as much in this round but in doing so it allows winky to land some clean punches. All told both men are landing in this round but JT took back the control of spacing and the tempo.


DREADLOCK214
TAYLOR 10-9
Taylor does nice work to body in this round and lands the cleaner punches. This is a round that I feel can be debated because Taylor stops moving forward and always Winky to control the ring. I give the round to Taylor because when he is not backing up he lands cleaner and keeps Winky in defense mode.


ILUVBOXING
WINKY 10-9
Winky doing more once again

WINKY vs TAYLOR ROUND 4

Post by the13r »

Image

ROUND 4


RASTA666
WINKY 10-9
Pretty easy round to score. Taylor waited to long to counter the points gained by Winky and fighters today rely to much on stealing rounds rather than winning them.


LURKYSHAKA
WINKY 10-9
Clear round for Wright. Nice tight defense and landed some heavy punches. Taylor tried to rally in the last 20 but too little too late.


ERISON
TAYLOR 10-9
Very close round. Winky landing flush right hooks to the head and body, most going unanswered. But Taylor is simply outworking him. Most of Taylor's punches are now getting through, and if not hurting Wright, they're certainly affecting him. Good body work again by Taylor, who is now throwing 4 punches combos at will, and doing good work. Winky had Jermain in a few rough spots on the ropes, but not for any extended time. Close round, give it to Taylor based on work rate.


GUYSTA
WINKY 10-9
This round was just like the 2nd round in many ways to me. Winky was sitting on his punches again and not flicking them. He was tight as a drum with his defense and he simply dominated the round. Jermain did some nice work in the last 1/2 minute of the round. But it certainly wasn't enough to offset the great work Winky did throughout the first 2 1/2 minutes.


LOSERONRIVER
TAYLOR 10-9
Taylor's power verus Winky's jab. Winky started strong in this round but Taylor picked up the pace in the second half of the round.


FIGHTFANATIC1
WINKY 10-9
JT comes out bombing in this round and winky respond with some very good work and even gets JT on the ropes and lets his hands go a little. Winky is clearly walking JT down in this round and although JT is throwing as winky comes in, winky is blocking most of the punches thrown, and contolling the tempo big time. Clear round for winky.


DREADLOCK214
WINKY 10-9
Taylor hits nothing but glove in this round and Winky lands some nice shots. Winky’s defense is really effective in this round, and I like when he uses those great defensive skills, but throws punches behind it.


ILUVBOXING
TAYLOR 10-9
Jermain opens up very nicely and batters Winky, towards the end of the round gives it to him

WINKY vs TAYLOR ROUND 5

Post by the13r »

ROUND 5


RASTA666
TAYLOR 10-9
Very tough round for me to score. Winky appeared to have landed more but it may not be the case and Taylor seemed in my eyes to land much cleaner


LURKYSHAKA
WINKY 10-9
Taylor landed some sharp blows, but Winky that bit more consistent. Wrights higher workrate carries the round.


ERISON
WINKY 10-9
Good round for Winky Wright. Landed great flurries on the ropes. Taylor only had a few punches of note, the hard straight right in the middle of the round. Other than that Winky owned the ring for this round. Blocking most punches during Taylor's retaliation flurries, and landing all of his punches during his own flurries.


GUYSTA
TAYLOR 10-9
The round was one of the more even rounds of the fight. They both had their moments and each landed some good shots and had some good flurries. Taylor started to time Winky's jab in this round and landed some decent counters off of it while also throwing some good counter jabs of his own over the top of Winky's. Winky had a pretty good flurry with about a 1:15 seconds to go in the round. After going back and looking at it a second time, he really didn't land as much as it appeared in the first viewing. Of the 12 punches he threw, only 5 landed and only 2 of those were clean hits. But they were 2 good shots. All and all, it looked like both fighters landed pretty evenly, but Taylor's punches are so much harder its hard to ignore that.


LOSERONRIVER
WINKY 10-9
Wright is landing nice flurries, which are more crisp and flush..


FIGHTFANATIC1
WINKY 10-9
Winky gets JT on the ropes again and opens up and JT responds with power and volume of his own. On both parts not much of what was thrown landed but nice pace. At 1:15 JT breaks through the winky defense with a big right hand. JT working the 1-2 and winky walks JT into the corner again and lands some nice combinations. Winky really took control of the pace in this round and JT was fighting “in response to” winky and his pressure and stalking. Both landed nicely but winky takes the round with contol of the ring and spacing, tempo.


DREADLOCK214
TAYLOR 10-9
I thought Taylor put his punches together in this round far better than Winky. Winky had his moments in the round, mainly because Taylor seems to be content to fight off the ropes. Which in my opinion is the only time Winky has been effective in the fight. Taylor landed a nice hard right hand that was by far the best punch of the fight so far.


ILUVBOXING
WINKY 10-9
Paint job for Wright outlanding him 30-10

WINKY vs TAYLOR ROUND 6

Post by the13r »

ROUND 6


RASTA666
TAYLOR 10-9
Wright looking tired in the round and Taylor was conservative also but landing without answers from Winky


LURKYSHAKA
TAYLOR 10-9
Very good round for Taylor. Pace slowed considerably and Taylor able to get off with good punches as Wright looks a little gassed.


ERISON
TAYLOR 10-9
Decent round by Taylor. Good jabs from Taylor, again landing good punches to the body. Off-round for Winky. He did some good work from the jab, not much else of note. A left hook by Taylor shook Wright up at the bell.


GUYSTA
TAYLOR 10-9
This was a good round for Taylor. He really had Winky's jab timed to a tee. He was countering it over the top on a regular basis with a jab of his own. For some reason Winky keeps following him around the ring and he isn't cutting it off to force him to the ropes where he cleary gets the better of the exchanges. It could be noted that Taylor had some good footwork and defense in this round as well. It was probably the best round for Taylor as a whole as he dominated from bell to bell. At the end of the round he landed a niced 1 2 combo that seemed to stop Winky in his tracks and send him backwards. But I think his shoulder had more to do with Winky going backwards than the punches.


LOSERONRIVER
TAYLOR 10-9
Taylor is lanfding poweful shots, while Winky is trying to fight Taylor into a corner, so he can unload flurries.


FIGHTFANATIC1
TAYLOR 10-9
In this round JT is the one getting off and it’s winky that is fighting “in response to” JT. JT is throwing the heavier leather half way through with some success. JT is bringing the fight to winky in this round. The jab is taking the back seat in this round as JT is landing big right hands and left hooks. Clear round for JT.


DREADLOCK214
TAYLOR 10-9
Taylor was clearly the busier fighter, throwing with both hands, unlike Wright. Taylor did a great job of keeping the fight in the middle of the ring where he is far more effective.


ILUVBOXING
TAYLOR 10-9
Taylor opening up and Winky is looking a bit winded landing some very hard shots

WINKY vs TAYLOR ROUND 7

Post by the13r »

ROUND 7


RASTA666
TAYLOR 10-9
Taylor moving Winky around the ring and getting in some decent shots. Another tough round to score and I guess its how strict one is to apply the scoring system.
Taylor by a thread


LURKYSHAKA
TAYLOR 10-9
Taylor again though closer. Wright tried to push the pace but taylor landed the cleaner blows and his punches were moving Winky and having a more obvious effect.


ERISON
TAYLOR 10-9
Good work by Taylor. Outworking and outlanding Winky at this point. Winky seems gassed, and is slow on his feet. Nothing behind his punches either at this point. Jermain landing well, and throwing a lot of punches. Still going to the ropes a bit too often, where Wright can inflict damage, but in round 7 he was never caught in that mistake.


GUYSTA
TAYLOR 10-9
This was another round that was pretty close. Taylor was still countering Winky's jab well. Winky did land a few good lefts though to offset his ineffective jab. I still don't understand why he is following Taylor around so much and letting him get his distance to throw. It is hard to ignore the power difference in these two when you see them landing about the same amount. Winky is landing punches, but they don't seem to phase Taylor at all. He still doesn't seem to be punching with conviction in his hands. It is all arms and not legs. It was a close round none the less....but the power disparity gave Taylor the round.


LOSERONRIVER
TAYLOR 10-9
Winky briefly stunned in the round. Talylor throwing and landing the better more powerful combos.


FIGHTFANATIC1
TAYLOR 10-9
Huge right by JT and follows it up with more bombs. As the round wears on winky appears ok and still coming forward. Although winky isn’t landing much in the way of significant punches as he does. JT finishes up with some volume punches but not much lands. The big start to the round is enough for JT to take this round.


DREADLOCK214
WINKY 10-9
Extremely close round that I give to Winky for keeping Jermain on the ropes for most of it. Taylor seems to be the stronger, quicker fighter, but gives rounds away by staying on the ropes.


ILUVBOXING
TAYLOR 10-9
very close round but in the close rounds go with the harder stuff go round for Jermain overall

WINKY vs TAYLOR ROUND 8

Post by the13r »

ROUND 8


RASTA666
TAYLOR 10-9
Rounds are three minutes and although Winky finished well Taylor already had the round midway. It was their for Winky but he tried to late to take it.


LURKYSHAKA
TAYLOR 10-9
Wright came on in the last minute to tighten round. But Taylor bit more impressive over the first couple of minutes to take round.


ERISON
TAYLOR 10-9
Another close round. Wright doing very well when he throws, but its just not enough. Taylor is out throwing and outlanding Wright. Winky seems a bit frustrated, especially by the fact that Jermain is out jabbing him.


GUYSTA
TAYLOR 10-9
Round 8 was more of the same. Winky was flicking his jab and Taylor was countering it over the top. It was to the point where it seemed Winky was reluctant to throw his jab. To his credit, he did throw some better straight lefts and landed some of the jabs even as they were countered. Taylor simply landed the harder shots this round and in a round where the punch outputs are similar......the nod goes to Taylor on power alone.


LOSERONRIVER
WINKY 10-9
Winky letting his hands go now, fighting Taylor into corners and unleashing combos


FIGHTFANATIC1
EVEN 10-10
JT throwing heavy leather to start but lands perhaps 1 or 2. Slow middle of the round. Winky in the last minute gets JT in the corner again but not to much meaningful punches to earn him the round. JT or even


DREADLOCK214
TAYLOR 10-9
Winky looks a little tired in this round. Taylor’s jab is far more effective than Winky’s in this round for the first time in the fight. Taylor makes it close again by refusing to keep the fight in the middle of the ring. In all honesty if I was Taylors corner I’d be livid at this point.


ILUVBOXING
WINKY 10-9
Great first half for Jermain,Great 2nd half for Winky very close round

WINKY vs TAYLOR ROUND 9

Post by the13r »

Image

ROUND 9


RASTA666
WINKY 10-9
Another round that is tough. This round could easily go either way but Winky brought some nice change up in this round and threw some curve balls.


LURKYSHAKA
WINKY 10-9
Wright tries to use a bit of in and out movement in a slight tactical change. Winky was nice and busy and got a bit of rhythm going. But Taylor retaliated by landing some heavy blows on the counter. Very tight round an argument could be made either way but for me Wright just about took it.


ERISON
WINKY 10-9
Very close. Easily could have gone to Taylor. Wright lands well, but hasn't thrown enough. Jermain is out muscling him. I gave the round to Winky based on his one good flurry where he landed about 6 good shots. But he simply isn't moving his hands enough.


GUYSTA
WINKY 10-9
For the first time in the fight, Winky comes out moving his feet and stops walking straight at Taylor. He looks really good early and lands a nice combo that puts Taylor in the corner. He is dancing beautifully early and then a headbutt occurs with 1:53 to go in the round.
Image
It seems to effect Winky more than Taylor at first, as Winky quits dancing and they don't do much but the trades show the difference in power again. But the headbutt is blowing Taylors eye up. What was a small swell coming into the round is now almost closed and it seems to effect Taylor's countering. He still lands a few nice shots but Winky is pushing the action and really seems reenergized by the blown up eye on Taylor.


LOSERONRIVER
WINKY 10-9
Both fighters landing in flurries, Wright seems to have landed more shots.. Accidental headbut in this round, causing Taylor's eye to completely closes..


FIGHTFANATIC1
TAYLOR 10-9
Slow first half of the round. neither man really looking to take this round thus far. Winky gets JT back in the corner again but does not take advantage. Every time winky opens up JT retaliates with his own offense. Neither landed enough to call the round a clear round for either JT was busier and the heavier hands get him the round.


DREADLOCK214
TAYLOR 10-9
Taylor gets his punches off better in this round and lands some nice clean shots. Winky has a great jab, but shows nothing else. Taylors eye begins to look bad, no doubt a combination of Winky jabs and head butts.


ILUVBOXING
WINKY 10-9
Wright changing the approach a bit, being very consistent while Jermain is having spurts, I appreciate the consistency

WINKY vs TAYLOR ROUND 10

Post by the13r »

ROUND 10


RASTA666
WINKY 10-9
I don’t like to call even rounds but the case can be made in this round. Lots of heat but little fire. I give it to Winky.


LURKYSHAKA
TAYLOR 10-9
Wright more consistent, but Taylor lands nicely in spurts. Winky keeps going but Taylor opens up well. I give it to Taylor by tight margin though another very tight round.


ERISON
WINKY 10-9
Another close one. The better accuracy of Wright took this round. Taylor still landing well to the body and straight down the middle to Wright's face. Winky flurried well on a few occasions. A bit tighter for Winky's defense, he's blocking punches well.


GUYSTA
EVEN 10-10
This round was kind of funny. They both threw a ton of punches and landed NOTHING! Taylor started off the round throwing about 20 punches that hit almost all gloves and not a single one was cleanly landed. Then with about a little under 2 minutes left in the round Winky threw a huge combination that hit all gloves with the exception of one that landed to the back of Taylors head. After that, they had a clash of heads that seemed to bother Winky again and it gave Taylor a little motivation because he jumped right on Winky and landed a few shots but nothing great. It was about as even as a round could be because nothing was really landed.


LOSERONRIVER
TAYLOR 10-9
Winky had one flurry in this round, but mst of the punches were blocked by Taylor against the ropes. Power punching combos by Taylor won this round..


FIGHTFANATIC1
TAYLOR 10-9
JT still going backwards but doing well maintaining spacing and tempo. JT in the middle of the round stands his ground and unloads although not much lands. Winky then gets JT into the corner and really lets his hands go but not very effectively. JT again responds with his offense. Off the butt JT lands a big right hand. Winky just can’t seem to impose himself on JT. Every time winky does something good JT responds with heavier hands.


DREADLOCK214
WINKY 10-9
A very close round that I give to Winky because his flurry's are better than that of Taylor. For the first time after this round you here from Taylors corner that he dominates in the center of the ring, but for some reason takes time off and rests on the ropes.


ILUVBOXING
TAYLOR 10-9
Taylor having beautiful moments when he opens up time to time, Winky's punches are very light at this point

WINKY vs TAYLOR ROUND 11

Post by the13r »

ROUND 11


RASTA666
WINKY 10-9
Winky was all over Taylor in his way and just put this round in the record books. Easy round for Winky.


LURKYSHAKA
WINKY 10-9
Taylor slacks off and Winky keeps coming and scoring steadily. Winkys workrate takes the round as Taylor looks to be slowing. Taylor seems to lose a bit of focus as eye damage maybe affects him, and Winky keeps pressure on.


ERISON
winky 10-9
Wright landed good combinations in this round. And save for a left hook from Jermain towards the end of the round, he seemed to take the round off. Winky finally imposed his will on the larger man.


GUYSTA
inky 10-9
This round was owned by Wright on sheer workrate alone. Taylor seems to be really bothered by the eye. He isn't countering at all and Winky is doubling him up on punches thrown. His jab is landing a lot easier and he is throwing twice as much. It was a good round for Winky and the easiest to score of the championship rounds. He simply dominated. Taylor took the round off and Winky took advantage of it.


LOSERONRIVER
WINKY 10-9
Winky's activity won this round for him. Winky seems ready to coast, by dancing the last 20 seconds of the round.


FIGHTFANATIC1
TAYLOR 10-9
Winky again gets JT in the corner and this time throws almost nothing. JT is just busier and at about the 1:10 marks lands a big left hook. Winky gets JT in the corner again at the :40 mark and lands some real nice punches. But doesn’t follow it up with anything for the rest of the round. JT is the man looking like he is fighting to win.


DREADLOCK214
WINKY 10-9
Winky backs Taylor up and lands some nice shots in this round. Taylor looks a little worse for wear in this round and may be gassing out.


ILUVBOXING
WINKY 10-9
It's all Winky, Taylor's workrate dropping big time, just not doing enough

ROUND 12


RASTA666
WINKY 10-9
Much was said about this round right after it aired over the waves. Winky won this round pretty clearly even though both men appeared starched. Unfortunately for Winky he stopped fighting at the end of round 12 in a championship fight and was no doubt unfairly punished for it.


LURKYSHAKA
WINKY 10-9
Both happy to coast a bit in the round as both clearly are tired. But Wright simply landed all the punches that counted in the first couple of minutes to take control of round, and then not alot happened in the last minute as both men were happy to see the clock run down.

WINKY 10-9
Hate to give this round to anyone. Neither guy wanted to engage. Wright landed a few pitty patter jabs and straights. Taylor landed even less. Aside from some blocked shot and a few body punches Taylor did nothing. Slight edge to Wright for doing only slightly more than nothing.


GUYSTA
WINKY 10-9
This round saw 2 fighters who wanted the fight to be over after 11 rounds. Winky threw more and landed a few. But neither fighter looked to concerned with working in the round to win it. Winky gets the nod on this one for throwing a few more and landing a few more. Which really isn't saying much because a few more was really just a few total. Could have been an even round, but I think the fact that Taylor wasn't really trying to throw anyting, it forces you to give it to Winky on being the less pathetic of the 2 in the final round of a fight that seemed to be hanging in the balance. A pathetic way for this fight to end really.

Neither fighter seemed to want to engage. Wiky throwing few and far between while Taylor not throwing much himself. Thugh he did land the only hard punch of the fight..

Winky comes out throwing. But he doesn’t follow up the early aggression and falls into a counter puncher role. However the same thing can be said for JT. Both men appear not to be taking chances. Inside the last minute the tempo picks up but nothing is done by either men to say they earned the round. Even.


DREADLOCK214
TAYLOR 10-9
Both guys do little to nothing in this round. Taylor does a little bit more to win it in my eyes. Winky’s corner makes him feel like his ahead and the cards when that not the case. Winky needed this one on my card and did nothing to win it.

nothing going on in the round Winky and Taylor don't seem to wanna get into it anymore, respectivly because it's been a good fight
10-10 even

FINAL THOUGHTS and CONCLUSIONS

RASTA666
WINKY 115-113
I have no final thoughts on this fight except to say that I scored it tighter than initially and in hindsight can now understand the draw.




LURKYSHAKA
WINKY 115-113
Close fight that was difficult to score. Taylor is always a nightmare to score, as he fights in spurts and rarely puts together a substained rounds action. When he opened up he was much the heavier hitter and his punches had visibly more effect on Wright. But Wright was far more consistent and kept with the programme in a much more substained fight plan.
Wrights plan seemed to be to draw the sting from Taylor early by setting a pace and keeping Taylor working. Taylor responded reasonably well to this and at the half way stage it looked like Wrights plan had failed as Taylor didn't falter but instead started to come on. But Winky bit down and kept going and his dicipline was rewarded as Taylor slowed down in the championship rounds.
Rounds 9 and 10 were especially tough and both could have gone either way or been scored level imo.
Id just like to comment on the 12th round. To me it was a definite Wright round, so im really not sure where this view he gave the round away comes from. He moved the last 20 seconds, but apart from that he was the fighter who was landing the punches of any merit. Taylor barely landed anything of any worth in the first 2 minutes and the last minute was even at worst.
All in all it was always likely to be close and controversial due to the styles of the two. Taylor works well in spurts but then goes to sleep and his defense is sloppy. Imo Wright deserved to win this fight.




ERISON
DRAW 114-114
Taylor did a lot more than I remembered him. And if I had to favor someone, I'd have favored Jermain Taylor. Wright did very well when he chose to, which wasn't often. For the greater part of the fight, Taylor was able to out work and push Wright around the ring. Taylor landed more, landed harder, and tried harder to win this fight. But when Wright won rounds, they were usually clear. And unfortunately he won enough rounds to get the draw, even though I felt Taylor did more to win it. Its a draw!




GUYSTA
TAYLOR 115-114
I could very easily see this fight a draw or a one point W for Winky on the basis of rounds that could have been even. I thought there were a couple of rounds that could have been even that I didn't score that way because I felt Taylor's power carried the day in those rounds.

Taylor actually looked better than I remember in this fight. I thought the fight was a draw the first time I saw it, and I thought he got hit a lot more than he did. His defense was a little sloppy at times but his reflexes were good and he did block and avoid a lot of punches that I think I thought landed the first time viewing it.

A couple of points I would like to make about the fight as a whole. There seemed to be 2 huge turning points in the fight. The first one happened in the 5th round. Taylor really started timing Winky's jab and you could see Winky was less willing to throw it with any conviction as a result. I thought Taylor's ability to counter paved the way for him taking the middle rounds in the fight. The second turning point was @ 1:53 of the 9th round. The headbutt that blew Taylor's eye up! From that point on, Taylor didn't seem to see the jab coming as well and never really countered it again like the previous 4 rounds and it really seemed to boost Winky's confidence. I am sure Taylor's stamina probably had a little to do with it, but he still threw a lot of power shots that mostly hit gloves. When he was countering he was controling the action. When he lost his ability to counter and had to rely on leading to land, he simply couldn't get at Winky the same. As a result, 3 out of the last 4 rounds were taken by Winky and Winky probably could have taken the 10th as well. But for whatever reason, Winky really didn't throw any jabs that round and tried to rely on power shots that were hitting JT's gloves just like JT's shots were hitting his. I think the 10th round is the round that decided it, because I would have had it a draw had Winky used his jab to score some landed punches. Instead it was a round of nothing landed and nobody winning imo.

On another note. Winky looked like a fool going to his corner with his hands in the air every round! It was almost as if he was trying to tell himself he was winning rounds even when it was clear as day he had lost the round in a few of them. And his constant whining about headbutts was a little much too. In the 9th round JT gets butted directly in the eye and Winky is the one crying about it as JT's eye is swelling at the same time Winky is whining! And then in the 10th round, with JT's eye completely shut from the butt in the previous round, he proceeds to whine again as they bump foreheads! I just didn't feel his actions throughout the fight were a site that was very becoming of a great p4p fighter like him.




LOSERONRIVER
TAYLOR 114-113
The fight was very competive from start to finish. Winky tried to apply his style on this fight, while Taylor with his power established himself in spurts. The fight can down to Power verus Connect Percentage. I felt Taylor's power made up for his lack of fundementals, while Winky's skill once again made up for lack of power. At timeis seem as though Winky could ran away with the fight with his superior skill but when cornered. Taylor showed his heart to fight by unleash powerful combos while backing Winky off of him.. Wink'y has never been hit as much as was hit in this fight, while Taylor had never been conested for a complete 12 rounds before by a highly skilled professional.. All in all .. Enertaining fight and warranted a rematch, but it was refused by Winky due to his belief of equal parity.. After Winky's decision loss to Hopkins on 7-21-07. The thought of him returning to middleweight will strike interest in this match up one again...




FIGHTFANATIC1
TAYLOR 117-113
JT wins this fight in my opinion. He was able to fend off winkys stalking style for most of the fight. When Winky was able to get JT on the ropes he would land the more effective punches but in the center of the ring JT was able to maintain the spacing and when he opened up offensively his heavy hands and volume were enough to earn him more rounds. Winky just didn’t have the power or the size to impose himself on JT enough to win. Winkys defense was good enough to catch a lot of JT punches but in the end JT landed enough, and when Winky landed his punches were not powerful enough or come in the numbers they needed to, to win this fight.




DREADLOCK214
TAYLOR 115-113
After watching this fight for the first time I believe that Taylor won a close decision, not because Winky did a lot, but Taylor’s in ring strategy was horrible. When Taylor keeps the fight in the middle of ring Winky does nothing but go into a shell and take punches. Taylor however decides that he can sit on the ropes and counter punch Winky, which never worked in this fight. Taylors corner continually tells him to stay of the ropes but he doesn’t listen and makes the fight far closer than it should be. Winky has great defense and a wonderful jab, but that was not enough to win this fight.




ILUVBOXING
WINKY 116-114
Winky, was more consistent had Taylor done the same work Winky did he'd have deserved the fight
simple as that.




KINGGRISSLY
I'm not an official judge, so maybe I'm out of line here, but I watched the fight On-Demand last night and had it somewhere around Winky 8-3-1. No shit. I gave Taylor 6, 7 and 10. Some other rounds were close, but Wright did some good work in those three rounds.

LARRY`s INTERVIEW AFTER THE FIGHT with WINKY

Post by the13r »

LARRY MERCHANT POST FIGHT INTERVIEW: WINKY WRIGHT

After leaving the ring directly after the draw announcement, Winky Wright expresses his feelings about the decision and the possibility of a rematch with HBO's Larry Merchant.

Image

MERCHANT:
Winky, why did you flee the ring right after the result was announced?

WINKY:
I never argued. I came through to hometown and I showed everybody that I'm the champ. I won that fight. Jermain threw some big rights but I'm catching him with the clear shots and his head goes back, it was crazy.

MERCHANT:
At the end of the fight you stood up like they announced it for you. Did you just mishear that?

WINKY:
We knew that it was 115 for him and 13 for me, I knew it was a draw, but that's the game.

MERCHANT:
One of the mistakes a fighter can make is judging the fight himself. You were told by your corner to go out and fight in the last 12th round and you decided to stay away and box. Did you throw away the championship?

WINKY:
12 rounds, he didn't do nothing. If I didn't do nothing, he didn't do nothing, so how did he win?

MERCHANT:
Why did you revert to your old style in the 12th round?

WINKY:
I knew I was winning. Like I say, I'm in his hometown and they gave him what he wanted, but I proved that I would go anywhere to fight anybody. And the fans called that fight.

MERCHANT:
And there was a rematch clause, but it depended on you winning the fight. Do you think you'll get a rematch now?

WINKY:
I don't want a rematch. If I have to come here and get this decision, so be it. So the fans who won that fight, and the judges, they do what they do.

MERCHANT:
So if you don't want a rematch, you say you don't want to fight anymore?

WINKY:
I definitely want to fight. And I'm going to go get him. So whoever won the fight, step up to the plate. Anybody.

MERCHANT:
Thank you very much, winky.

LARRY`s INTERVIEW AFTER THE FIGHT with TAYLOR

Post by the13r »

LARRY MERCHANT POST FIGHT INTERVIEW: JERMAIN TAYLOR

HBO's Larry Merchant caught up with Jermain Taylor ring-side, immediately after the split decision

Image

MERCHANT:
I'm not sure -- I usually say congratulations, champ, you are still the champ.

TAYLOR:
Yes, sir.

MERCHANT:
Should you be congratulated on this fight?

TAYLOR:
It's always something with me, Larry. Always something. Larry, I give it up to winky Wright. He's a great fighter. He threw his punches and I have to give it to him.

MERCHANT:
What gave you the most trouble from Winky tonight? It looked like his right jab over your low left was the difference for him? many fighters such difficulty?

TAYLOR:
Exactly, it was a jab. He had a great job. I mean, I didn't think that his hands was that fast and he has a great jab.

MERCHANT:
How bad was the eye?

TAYLOR:
I couldn't see much of anything in that last round, but he was running like he had the fight won. I stayed and tried to get him.

MERCHANT:
I'll get back to that in a minute.

TAYLOR:
Yes, sir.

MERCHANT:
Did you think that you had hurt him at any time in the fight?

TAYLOR:
I thought I landed a couple of good punches but if I did hurt him, he played it off well, he played off real good.

MERCHANT:
Why did you spend so much time on the ropes when in the middle of the ring you were clearly winning the fight?

TAYLOR:
He didn't have so much power and I tried to time him and come back, and I tried to come back with something, and he's so fast they couldn't get it off. But I know that I just needed a little more time. And he kept telling me, stay off the ropes, and –

MERCHANT:
Tell me, at the end of the night, what Emanuel Steward did for you to help you retain your title?

TAYLOR:
Oh, the training, just all the hard work and just pressure. And just by being at the club, the gym. I thank all the guys at the gym for the motivation. I felt it when I was in there.

MERCHANT:
When you saw him start to box and move in the 12th round, what went through your mind?

TAYLOR:
I was like, what is he doing? I mean, he is winning, go ahead and fight me. I mean, he clearly threw the straight punches and was catching me and if I was him I would have kept fighting. That's the difference between us.

MERCHANT:
Do you think that since this fight was a draw, that he blew the fight in the 12th round, apparently thinking that he had it won already?

TAYLOR:
I felt like if he wanted the title so bad, he should have fought all 12 rounds. That's what I did. I didn't get in the last round and feel that I had to only fight one. You have to fight all 12 rounds.

MERCHANT:
There was a rematch clause in the contract. If you would have lost there would have been a rematch. This was a good bristling action fight, you retained your title with the draw, and now do you think that there should be a rematch?

TAYLOR:
I will fight Winky Wright again, yes, sir, I would to just let everyone know, you know, I'm a fighter. I don't control what nobody does or say, this is what I do. I may not do it like you want me to do it, but I'll fight, I'll fight all 12 rounds, I promise you that.

MERCHANT:
Congratulations.

COMPUBOX POST-FIGHT ANALYSIS:

Post by the13r »

COMPUBOX POST-FIGHT ANALYSIS:
JERMAIN TAYLOR D 12 WINKY WRIGHT
by Joe Carnicelli/Compubox

There must be something about Jermain Taylor that appeals to boxing judges.

It was expected to be a cautious, tactical fight. Both boxers own potent jabs and Wright, a slick left-hander, is regarded as one of the premier defensive fighters in the world. But that went out the window in the first round as Wright pressed the action and Taylor responded with some heavy shots. The tone of the fight was set. Wright outlanded Taylor 14-10 in the opening round but 12 of Wright's connects were jabs and eight of Taylor's connects were power shots.

Wright went on to outland Taylor over the next four rounds, effectively blocking most of Taylor's power shots with his peek-a-boo defensive style and scoring repeatedly with his jab. Taylor controlled the action in the center of the ring and Wright was more effective when he was able to force Taylor back into the ropes.

Through five rounds, Wright had a 109-61 overall connect advantage but 56 of his connects were jabs. Taylor's jab was virtually useless over the first five rounds as he connected on only 13 of 135 but he was impressing the judges by firing hard right hands, some of which slipped through Wright's tight defense and others which stopped Wright in his tracks as they pounded into his gloves.

Wright had his best round of the fight in the fifth when he outlanded Taylor 30-10, connecting on 16 jabs and 14 power shots, but Taylor roared back in the following round by outlanding Wright 23-17, connecting on 14 power shots. The battle remained close down the stretch, with the eighth round going down as perhaps the best of the night. Wright landed 26 punches, including 11 jabs and 15 power shots, and Taylor connected on 22, including 12 power shots and 10 jabs.

The same pattern continued through the closing stages as Wright managed to land more punches but Taylor had the more impressive power shots to catch the judges' attention. Taylor's left eye began to swell badly over the second half of the fight and Wright continued to pepper away effective at it with his right jab.

Neither fighter did much of anything in the final round and Wright's decision to dance around the ring over the final 30 seconds prompted two of the three judges to give Taylor the round. Taylor threw only 37 punches in the final round and Wright got off only 32, the lowest total in the fight for each boxer.

Judge Chuck Giampa of Nevada, who had Taylor ahead 115-113 in one of his fights against Hopkins, scored it the same way for Taylor against Wright. Judge Ray Hawkins of Texas, the only judge to give Wright the final round, had it 115-113 for the challenger and Melvina Latham of New York brought about the draw with a 114-114 card.

Taylor landed 163 of 703 total punches (23 per cent), including 122 of 395 jabs and just 41 of 308 (13 per cent) jabs. Wright connected on 226 of 643 total punches (35 per cent), including 103 of 335 jabs (31 per cent) and 123 of 308 power shots (40 per cent).

Taylor is now 25-0-1 but retains his middleweight title belts. Wright is 50-3-1 and says he is disgusted with the decision and doesn't want a rematch. Don't bet on it not happening. It was too good a fight not to happen again.

Sums it up for me really....I nearly mentioned Taylor saying that in my final thoughts. If Jermain himself felt that way then who are we to argue. Winky won a close fight, but just never got the decision.

Exactly. Jermain thought that Winky won and hit him with some great shots.

It looks like that almost everyone thought Winky won after the fight but after watching it again seemed like a lot more actually favored Taylor or had it a draw....I actually scored it a draw as well after the fight so it wasn't a robbery

I'm in that Magazine in the Come out writing section. Talking about this fight. I commented on how I thought they were selling Taylor short regarding their comment in a previous issue that Taylor "Wouldn't win a round against Wright" and mentioned I thought it was an evenly matched fight.

I wound up seeing it 115-113 for Taylor I believe.

I went to this fight. I had it 115-113 live and had it the same after watching it on HBO both for Winky Wright. 115-113 either way is a fine score

Taylor had a weird career. He had 3 fights against HOF caliber fighters that he fought even with and was lucky on the cards during each fight. Then he was thisclose to knocking out Pavlik but winds up getting knocked out. He was 30 seconds away from beating Carl Froch and winds up getting knocked out
