    I enjoyed the fight. If you go back and read my earlier posts, you'll see that I predicted just this. A rough, tough fight, that was much better than people were saying it would be.

    I watched it without sound, so as to not be biased by HBO and the usual propaganda they spew. I did not have the fihgt that close i had BHOP winning 9-3 actually. maybe iam crayz. the only round i thought Wink CLEARLY won was round 4.

    Hmm - I had BH winning 9 and 3 rounds draw (round 2,4,12). So I had the fight 120-111, 117-111 if being nice giving the 3 rounds to Winky?

    Much better fight than I expected.Basically due to Winky being overweight and a great undercard!:thumbsup

    Think about this. Why has Taylor been facing nothing but light-hitters moving up from lower weights since Hopkins wobbled him?? This guy doesn't take a MW punch, and DiBella and HBO KNOW it. It also accounts, imo, for why he's seemingly so reluctant to engage, even with the lighter hitters.

    They've been forced by public opinion to take on a legitimate MW contender finally, but it will be clear within 5 or 6 rounds why they avoided it for as long as they did.:yep

    This isn't the ****-talking I do for fun around here. I would virtually GUARANTEE this guy doesn't take a good punch, and that Pavlik will show this emphatically. :nod

    Awful? Lol...you must br ray robinsons soul to be so high and mighty to claim Taylor is awful. he has never lost decisively in the ring & his level of comp is very high since beating hop the first time (I thought hops won). most wins were not against legitimate MW's but all were very Hard boxers for anyone to beat stylistically.
