    I fell asleep during the fight. I really can't say. The rounds I did see Spinks looked like he was winning more than Taylor but not seeing the whole fight I couldn't score it.
    That fight might have been a cure for insomnia.

    I had this as a clear win for Spinks.
    And I can't stand Spinks' style.

    Oh, I agree with the decision. However, it was not a dominating or even an impressive performance by Taylor. It made him look really average as Wright is not much of an offensive threat but was able to back Taylor down consistently. That's when I realized that Taylor has made his living off of weight-draining and fighting guys smaller than him. He ran into a guy that was about his size and got backed down. Taylor is used to having all the physical advantages in the ring.

    yes i recently figured out that compubox is bull****.It said hatton landed 2 punches in round 10 against mayweather,i saw him land at least six.I state that this comment does not mean i want to take anything away from maywaether, or the fact that it is beside the point on this thread:D :D
