Who won?!?! I missed the last 2 rounds due to technical difficulties with the tv.

The official result is a draw, but Taylor was robbed. I think he won 115-113 or maybe 116-112 personally. Anyway, the last 2 rounds were probably split, although you can make a case that Taylor won 11 also. He definitely won 12. I came in to the fight more of a Winky fan, but after seeing the fight, I think Taylor got completely robbed of a win.

It should have been taylor all the way. I agree Shyft. Overall, I think he did more damage than Wright.

Bah, a fighter shouldn't win just because he is stronger than the other guy. I think it should have been a draw, or Wright winning. Taylor might have had 2-3 rounds were he landed over 20% of his punches compared to Wright consistantly landing 30% and more of his (including a round where he landed 50% of his punches). In addition, Wright was the aggressor throughout the bout. Wright controlled the bout and forced Taylor to fight his way. And did you see Taylor's eye??? He couldn't even see out of it! (Could have been one of the accidental head-collisions, but nobody really knows). I think the draw was a good call despite me rooting for Winky.

I think Winky connected his jab pretty well over the whole fight so i thought he won it there but he shoulda put more out in that last round. Taylor's the champ... you have to "beat" the champ. I really don't think it was a headbutt either that messed up Taylor's eye. Wright the whole fight was just pounding it without much getting in his way.

I hope there's a rematch.
