Jermain Taylor vs. Wright

[NoCalMike 0]

Well I only say Taylor was robbed on the basis that one of the judges gave Winky Wright the last round in which all he did was run around and dance, and Taylor CLEARLY won the round.

 

I don't mind the end result of the fight being a draw since it was damn near an even fight, but for the Draw to be based on a judge giving the last round to Winky Wright is fucking bullshit.

I thought it was a draw because the judge gave Taylor the last round?

 

Either way, I think the draw was a good decision. Winky acting like it was the Montreal Screwjob or something is hilarious, and I'm sure once he calms down he'll decide to do the rematch.

Damn this spoils it for me, the fight is showing now.

Wright went into full bitch mode for the 12th round. He has no room to complain about any kind of decision.

The 12th isn't the only round Wright took off, sad since I thought he was actually in control of the fight though he didn't have the comfortable lead he obviously thought he had. A draw is a good call, though Taylor won the 12th.

Taylor's cheerleading squad (HBO) pissed about the last round getting scored for the wrong guy?

 

Oh, the hypocrisy.

Also, IIRC, Lampley eventually mentioned that even had whatever judge scored the final round for Taylor instead of winky, you'd still end up with a majority draw.

I had Taylor winning by two rounds. Sound off.
