Wasn't much a of a winky fan but the more of his fights I watch man hes got my respect. Absolutely fought like a man. he was very often the smaller man in the middle weight division but he didn't run he stood his ground and boxed. REPECT
Winky is one of my all time favorite fighters. He consistently went after the best figjters in the world that would fight him and gave every single one of them absolute hell! He was almost always outgunned in the physical talent aspect, but through phenomenal skill, always staying in peak condition, sheer will and determination was able to compete with everyone. Winky was an old school beast of a fighter who never really got the recognition he bled for and deserved.
Steve Kim said something about Winky Wright being a great example of what an underappreciated fighter can accomplish, if he stays active & fights the best available competition. Winky's dedication & activity early in his career turned him into a star, & provided the platform for him to land many big fights later on.
I was at this fight. It was a closely contested bout but I recall having Wright as the winner. I never saw Oscar or Trinidad fight live but I'm comfortable with the fact I saw the 2 best fighters at this time in the sport. I also remember seeing Lennox Lewis and Floyd from my seat.
I always forget what a great fight this was. Beautiful boxing by Winky, and great athleticism by Taylor. I was rooting for Winky when it happened, but I think a draw is fair here. I've seen far worse decisions. Great fight!

Winky will forever be my favorite boxer, much like Artuo Gatti. They will ALWAYS have my respect. Winkys defense is amazing, and he calculated with them jabs.
Taylor was a shooting star!! Beating the great elusive Bernard Hopkins twice, when Hopkins was at his peak..but Hopkins stole The great Jermaine's soul, and he was never the same.
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
This was an excellent fight, I still score it the same as I did when I first seen it! 116-112 Winky Wright.... No doubt he won this fight, he outboxed Taylor and landed more punches! Taylor did land the harder shots tho!.........Winky didn't really want the rematch, cause he wanted a 50/50 in the money and challengers don't get that unless your the bigger name!
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.
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.
Now that I watched this fight twice I can see why they called it a draw,winky landed more shots to me but I think Taylor was winning the judges over with all them power shots. Plus some rounds he would try to win with bunches of punches and we all know that does win rounds. But I was team winky no matter what
The commentators spoke of a eye contusion that wasnt even there on Winky, meanwhile the whole fight past with Jermaine T eye closed and they never said anything about it.
thought winky won 5 of the final 6 rounds- 7,8,9, 11 and 12. Gave 10 to Taylor. One thing I don't understand is the announcers talking about the hard shots from Taylor but most are blocked. The cleaner hits were from winky. They never talk (until finally in round 12) about Taylor's eye damn near closed from being tattooed by Winky's jab all night long. Winky won in my opinion.
Wow. What a fight. This just came on auto play and i was half paying attention the first couple of rounds then it got so good i had to restart it so i could fully pay attention to the whole thing.Thanks for sharing.
You have to look at the fight closer because Winky was blocking a lot of those shots that the commentator was praising coming from Taylor that why Emanuel said you probably gave him the fight ....Winky Wright all day...but great fight.
For some reason this has always been one of my favorite fights, even though there wasn't a "winner" (Winky won this one). I'm about to watch again. haha
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.
Winkie won this fight hands down....look at the face of Jermain compared to Winkie's....I don't think Jermain hit Winkie as much as the fight said....Winkie's defense is top notch, man
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.
Winky is one tough sob. He never should have fought at 160, he was too small. But he did and was a beast. The only man I have ever seen with no power...but always putting the pressure on...
Can't believe Winky had a reputation for being a boring fighter. I loved watching him fight and he should get alot of credit for moving to 160 and taking the fight to Taylor here.
A wise man once said the toughest style of opponent to fight is a counterpuncher who comes forward. GGG Mike Tyson Saul Alvarez Joe Frazier and many more including Ronald Winky Wright. Winky has lost a few in his career but none have ever had an easy time doing it.
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.
I partially agree. I think these commentators were just wowed by Taylor's punching power. Although I'm not fond of the HBO commentators, I think they did a better job of calling it how they seen it. The only flaw was when punches didn't land, Jim Lampley said they did. A lot of Taylors punches bounced off Wrights gloves but Lampley gave Taylor credit anyway. I felt they gave Taylor a pretty fair shake it's just that Winky showed his experience & fought a smart fight & earned more of their favor.
yeah from what I saw winky picked off the majority of those punches, and he was landing hard clean shots especially when he whipped that right hook to the body. Jermaine is flashy but isn't really landing anything clean.
I would have to agree with the majority of the below comments. Winky was an incredible fighter, who was often ranked high in the pound 4 pound rankings. He got robbed here, as did Corey Spinks when he fought Taylor. Pavlik didn't give the guy the opportunity to rob him. Taylor was no doubt a good fighter, but his approach to certain fights always bothered me. Unfortunately Winky never got a rematch. Though he was for a few years after this fight ranked at the top of the division.
Winky blocks 1-2 with high guard at 10.28. 4.24 Wright jabs to the body. Taylor short with a jab at 4:33. Jabs should be key here as it`s interesting to see someone use longer reach vs a good high guard type fighter and Winky`s key punch is the jab also.
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.
winky won that fight hands down i dont know what they talking bout a draw yeah right winky wright was one of the best fighter in the world people didnt give his credit for real
5:16 No counter jab from the longer Taylor, you have to deal with Winky`s jab it was his main weapon and the counter from a longer reach is perfect against a high guard fighter with a sharp jab.
Emanuel said keep him in the center of the ring, hes only beating you when you're on the tops. Taylor was on the rops in every round. Winky landed the cleaner shots and he walked Taylor down although Taylor was throwing the more powerful shots alot only hit Winky gloves. Great fight I thought Winky edged the bout. Ijs
5:27 They are not in punching range, Taylor should have constantly stayed in punching range and pumped the jab because his reach was longer so he would still be out of Winky`s range. Hearns v Wright would have been like this to a degree because he would have a reach advantage also. Counter left landed on Winky at 5:56.
I don't care what anybody says, Wright won this close fight. He should've fought harder in the 12th Round (because of those stupid Judges), but he won. Taylor is unique. He has all of the tangibles to be a great fighter, but none of the intangibles. Not even the great trainer Manny Steward could fix him.
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.
The announcers were the worst part of this. They made it like winky did nothing. Taylor's eye was shut afterwards. He hit winky with bricks the whole fight. Watch it with the commentary off. Both fighters are underrated on defense. Great fight by both.
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.
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
i dont know what these commentators or judges were seeing winky spanked taylor. Not only did winky land more punches but he came forward the whole fight. Also when taylor was throwing combos only 2 or 3 out of 8 would land winky landed the much cleaner punches. They screamed all night about taylors power, but who were they powerful too winky was never hurt stood in on the flurries and he moved forward the entire fight winky obviously didnt think or feel like taylor was as powerful as these commentators thought. Winky clearly outboxed him and ate all his punches easy. And lets not forget winky was the much smaller fighter.

Winky was an old school beast of a fighter who never really got the recognition he bled for and deserved.
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.
Don't know why but this is one of my favorite fights ever. Best draw I've ever seen.
Chuukese song.
I agree
Steve Kim said something about Winky Wright being a great example of what an underappreciated fighter can accomplish, if he stays active & fights the best available competition.
Winky's dedication & activity early in his career turned him into a star, & provided the platform for him to land many big fights later on.
I was at this fight. It was a closely contested bout but I recall having Wright as the winner. I never saw Oscar or Trinidad fight live but I'm comfortable with the fact I saw the 2 best fighters at this time in the sport. I also remember seeing Lennox Lewis and Floyd from my seat.
This is one of the best fights in middleweight history. At least to me
I always forget what a great fight this was. Beautiful boxing by Winky, and great athleticism by Taylor. I was rooting for Winky when it happened, but I think a draw is fair here. I've seen far worse decisions. Great fight!
Matty Squizzato perfectly told my friend. Winky= pure skill. Jermain= pure talent.

Winky will forever be my favorite boxer, much like Artuo Gatti.
They will ALWAYS have my respect. Winkys defense is amazing, and he calculated with them jabs.
Winky always was true boxer with ferocity..forward on relentless pursue of action.. Top fighter of my picks..warrior
Winky got robbed so many times, he should sue the freaking boxing industry. Winky is a legend.
Without a doubt
Taylor was a shooting star!! Beating the great elusive Bernard Hopkins twice, when Hopkins was at his peak..but Hopkins stole The great Jermaine's soul, and he was never the same.
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!

Remember staying up to watch this here in the UK... we all couldn't believe Winky didn't get the win but what a fight!

The only fight I remember Winky Wright clearly losing was Paul Williams. Such a great defensive fighter.
This guy is one of the realest boxers to ever do it.
Winky?
This fight still tilts me, 11 years later. Winky won this fight, clear as day.
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.

This was a total robbery,Winky controlled this fight💯
Great fight-I miss them both, great fighters.
Wright edged this in my book good fight, wright one of the most avoided fighters ever.

basically
This is probably one of the hardest fights to score in boxing history....but that 12th round really is what it landed on pardon the pun
One of my favorite fights.

Winky had a close eye idiot. He also stopped fighting last 2 rds
BRIAN TICAS my ass moron! you need to look again
This was some bias commentating....look at how skillfully Jermain blocked with his face and returned with a stumble into the corner.
Yo, I'm thinking the same shit. They on dogfood
I fully understand how it was a draw. An absolute amazing fight
Great middleweight title fight - reminded me of the 1st & 2nd GGG vs Canelo title fights with the ebb & flow, & it's quick pace.

But I like winky so I can can judge it properly
Damn shame we never got a rematch.

Winky got tagged pretty good in this fight!
+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!
High-Level Boxing right here💯
This is not the same Jermain Taylor that I saw fight Sam Soliman last year. Now I know why they called him "Bad Intentions"
I partially agree. I think these commentators were just wowed by Taylor's punching power. Although I'm not fond of the HBO commentators, I think they did a better job of calling it how they seen it.

Great fighters!!
It's a split if not unanimous decision win for Taylor. A draw is good for Winky. That's the best he could get.
more combinations from winky
Wright didn't get the regonition like that, but I do like his style, he left the boxing scene too early
great great fight
Emanuel said keep him in the center of the ring, hes only beating you when you're on the tops. Taylor was on the rops in every round.

Strong defense
Effective punching ...so what if the weaker puncher is the tougher guy???
I have winky by 2 points.
Good close fight
Announcers are terrible. Taylors power shots were clearing being blocked during the early rounds but they was giving the rounds to taylor.
Interesting fight
Jermain taylor right hand deadly punch very strong
Very good fight
I don't care what anybody says, Wright won this close fight. He should've fought harder in the 12th Round (because of those stupid Judges), but he won. Taylor is unique. He has all of the tangibles to be a great fighter, but none of the intangibles. Not even the great trainer Manny Steward could fix him.
When they talk about boxers who can fight his name should be mentioned Winky
And good power counter punches
Wright I think lost the first round bad and he danced to much in the last round but it was a hell of a fight hard to pick a winner the draw was fair!
I thought Wright beat Taylor that night. My uncle and I were thinking Wright had the decision but you never know.
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.

Nah
They should’ve done a rematch
Winky gotta build stamina defense,and whatch out for power shots
The announcers were the worst part of this. They made it like winky did nothing. Taylor's eye was shut afterwards. He hit winky with bricks the whole fight. Watch it with the commentary off. Both fighters are underrated on defense. Great fight by both.
His hands are so high it's hard to generate any power
5:11 Why did the ref break them up? Winky starts well with the jab early on here.
great fight!

Good movement after punching
Jemaine Taylor looked defeated at the end.
Cuz he knew he lost
Winky did not run the 12th he one that round to
yes!!! He was the only one that fought!
Yup...
Winky, by this time, had fought a few fights. And still couldn't get a pair of shorts that fit him.
Taylor won this fight and I don’t think it was that close. Really good fight but not close. Taylor won 8-4.
Wright obviously won. A shitload of Tayor's punches landend on the gloves
Is it just me or were Winky's gloves insanely large?
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
These announcers wanted Jermaine's cawk😭😭😭
i dont know what these commentators or judges were seeing winky spanked taylor. Not only did winky land more punches but he came forward the whole fight. Also when taylor was throwing combos only 2 or 3 out of 8 would land winky landed the much cleaner punches. They screamed all night about taylors power, but who were they powerful too winky was never hurt stood in on the flurries and he moved forward the entire fight winky obviously didnt think or feel like taylor was as powerful as these commentators thought. Winky clearly outboxed him and ate all his punches easy. And lets not forget winky was the much smaller fighter.
Se la robaron a Winky !
Taylor got his ass kicked that night.
