Amen

I agree

100 %

The stronger you are the less recognition you get in this fallen world. Especially as a men. They only want to show the masses weakass es

He was a very difficult fighter to fight and very dangerous. That’s why the top guys didn’t fight him for a very long time they all knew he was tough.

Chuukese song.

I agree

Matty Squizzato perfectly told my friend. Winky= pure skill. Jermain= pure talent.

Winky,es más técnico, más boxeador.El ganador a impresionado,golpeando desordenadamente.Gracias Lima-Peru

@@lutherboykin1584 wtf are you even talking about? Jeez

Winky?

Without a doubt

Nah. Kelly Pavlik is the one who took his soul.

Yea Pavlik is the one who set him up to his path of self destruction. Jermain Taylor was mere seconds away from finishing Pavlik in that first fight too he had him hurt bad! Had he won that fight and not been brutally knocked out there wouldn’t have been a rematch and Taylor would have moved on with his belt, who knows how his career would have turned out then. More importantly who knows how his life would have turned out not being KO’d so badly ultimately leading to his mental decline. Probably wouldn’t be sitting in Pulaski County correctional facility right now, where he seems to spend the majority of his time over the last several years

No sir he didn't it was a close fight

It was a close fight…it’s not “clear as day.”

I agree. Those were hard, clean jabs. Winky had a hard, snappy jab. His guard was impenetrable. Jermaine threw a lot of combinations that looked good but only hit his guard. I have used Winky's style alot in the amateurs and have lost a few fights to guys that threw alot of punches that sounded good on the gloves, and I threw good hard jabs that had them leaking from their nose or a puffy eye and still lost. It's hard to convince the layman that punches are being blocked. I had to adjust my style a bit to make them miss completely, so it's more obvious that punches are missing.

Yea Winky wasn't very smart when it came to business. He should have taken the rematch and beaten Taylor again. He messed his own career up at the end.

The only fight I remember Winky Wright clearly losing was Paul Williams. Such a great defensive fighter.

Facts

basically

yup the boxing IQ is a little low with these 2

Agreed 👍🏽

Agreed

exactly Winky had great defense Taylor was throwing that right hand with alot of FUNK on it but he was hitting mostly leather and air

Me too. I think if he had a little more bounce in his feet and used more angles; he would of been even more tough to beat. He was a little too flat footed at times. But overall a great fighter.

@@MAMII-ks2qg yeah

I never knew that Winky was from DC & how old was he when he left for Florida

@@chalkyblack7582 he left in 10th grade but he didn't grow in height until he got to Florida

So

T

mcentepede he came close but no cigar winky got that strong ass tank defence.

Not at all. I remember thus fight like it was yesterday. Underrated fight and these two deserved a ppv rematch. One of the most closest evened out fight I have seen. A draw most certainly deserved by both.

BRIAN TICAS you must have been drunk..... it was not close, not even remotely....taylor was absolutely DOMINATED 10 of 12 rounds.

Winky had a close eye idiot. He also stopped fighting last 2 rds

BRIAN TICAS my ass moron! you need to look again

Yo, I'm thinking the same shit. They on dogfood

Winky was stronger

But I like winky so I can can judge it properly

+dave jackson then why is his face marked up with bruises? Nah bro, Taylor exposed Winky, I say it's a draw! They both tagged each other pretty good!

A pressure fighter with impeccable defensive skills. Very odd mix and supremely difficult to deal with as such. Guys that come forward and cut you off are _supposed_ to be easy to hit, but that was SO not the case with Winky. I hope history gives Wright his just due. He never got the credit he deserved.

Don Johnson one other reason that made windy wright hard to hit was because of that right-handed jab. It's one of the best jabs in the business. His style reminds me of a pikeman. A big shield on his left hand and a pike on his right hand.

Jermain Taylor is universally regarded as one of the worst Middleweight Champions of all time that was a star boxer during his generation....Let's be real here....he somehow won alot of decisions, like this one in particular and got some kind of medal in Arkansas or wherever. Pavlik beat him up, he went to supersix tourney and got beat up again, he came back and won the title again and got beat up again.

mcentepede I don't think that is quite true. Taylor was talented but lacked heart. He beat bhop due to his youth and athletic ability. That's why he beat bhop. His footwork and initiative was a lot faster. Now back to what you said, Taylor won a title again two years ago. He was in the tourney but was damaged goods by then man. He was always exciting and gave everyone hell. I do think he would have beat Abraham before that time. Jermaine was good but not great. Thanks Taylor for some great fights.

Cuz he knew he lost

Will Grello I am from Florida and my best friend is from Arkansas. I remember watching this fight with him and his cousin who is also from Arkansas. When the final bell rung they was both super quiet. They knew Taylor had lost that fight. Soon as they ruled it a draw they was cheering. Taylor was an olympic medalist and just came off 2 decision wins off of Hopkins. I thought he lost the first Hopkins fight too.

Nah

I think Winky edged it out. Most of those shots by Taylor were blocked. Winky landed the cleaner shots and walked Taylor down most of the fight. But can't argue about the draw. Great fucking fight.

yes!!! He was the only one that fought!

Yup...

That's the same thing I said looks like winky gloves are huge compared to Taylor's!

I guess the gloves don't have to exactly be the same size as long as they are the same weight? I know Winky has huge hands.

Different brand of gloves , that all ! Grant gloves ( Winky's gloves) are looking relatively larger but the are the same size !

Winky always used those gloves for his defense. Reyes, punchers gloves, were usually used by guys throwing big shots. You'll notice Mayweather never used puncher gloves either. He always used Grant gloves for the protection from what I understand

he used them for his hands they got damaged too much in some fights they were too fragile that's why he stopped throwing the hard shots he used to throw when he went by the "money" nickname

Yeah
