Yeah, like I told you on AIM it was a close fight and neither guy got robbed. It was a draw, which is probably pretty accurate. The rounds were so debatable for the most part that no one can complain about being robbed, and CERTAINLY can't claim to have put on a boxing lesson like Wright has been saying.

I cant disagree there but I think Winky is just pissed off I dont believe for 1 second that he wouldnt take a rematch, I think the guy is just mad.. like he said the Vargas fight popped into his head and he took off.. he should show a lot more professionalism then that but when your passionate about a sport sometimes you react without thinking.

He had time to think before the post fight press conference, and he no-showed that also - but sent his promoter in with some shit to whine about.

Got the article here in the boxing forum. It's a good read, I'd check it out.

Ya I just read it all I gotta say is we got ourselves a rivalry!

there better be a Winky-Taylor 2, well I know there will be.. and I cant wait

yea it wasnt a boxing lesson, just a seminar. in all fairness yeah too many debatable rounds. winky obviously connected more and had the better control of the ring. but Taylor seemed to do more damage when he connected (although his eye makes me think twice)

His eye was cuz of the head butts, it was pretty clear that Taylors hits were doin' the damage to Winky.. and its tough to say about the head butts cuz Taylor was deliverin them but he was gettin the most damage out of them! lol but yea I think his eye was like that cuz of the head butts, Winky's hits arent that hard but it doesnt help that Winky was jabbin that eye all fight then Taylor kept bangin that eye up against Winky's head.

i'm going to say right now when this rematch happens it won't be nearly as close. the only thing taylor did was give up rounds by backing himself in a corner. He acknowledged that at the end that he wasn't listening to manny when he was telling him inbetween rounds to stay off the ropes. next time he'll control the fight and leave no questions asked about who won. i would even say if he comes with the same fire and passion he had for hopkins he could stop winky in the later rounds. i really felt he didn't give nearly 100% because he was too buddy buddy with winky. throw that shit out the window and beat his ass then be friends again. but manny said it best and it says a lot.

"Emanuel Steward then praised his new fighter's toughness and ability to dig deep. "Jermain did so many things wrong tonight and still kept his championship. When Winky came on, Jermain came back strong and moved Winky with his punches. Every time it looked like he might lose it, he bit down and got it done," Steward remarked."
