Why do people keep getting robbed when boxing Jermain Taylor?

Question

First in those two matches against Bernard Hopkins, that first decision was one of the worst in history of professional boxing and the second one also very contraversial. And then last night against Wright, it was a close fight but Winky won. I think that he was ahead by 2 points at the end (I don't know which fight that judge that scored it 115 - 113 for Taylor was looking at).

I have nothing against Jermain Taylor, he's a great boxer no question about that, but this is wrong. Winky Wright should be the world champion right now.

Answer 1

beacue taylor is the up and coming young superstar that boxing thinks will be a big superstar. winky is a defensive older fighter who doesn't attract big numbers becasue of his style, also the fight was near taylors hometown so the crowd was in his favor as well. winky outboxed him and the judge that scored for him was the same judge in the hopkins fight, he is definetly taking some money or something for taylor.

Answer 2

The first Hopkins fight was a JOKE. The second one wasnt much better. Jermain is an easy person to sell. Boxing has been at a low point, so they are looking for new young faces to sell so they can get people to pay the money next time a PPV comes around. Although when you're making Mayweather vs. Judah a PPV, you aren't going to make anything anyway.

Answer 3

Taylor is the pretty boy for HBO. Money talks. Winky had his gloves constantly on Taylor's face! Even landed more punches!! Tayor punched nothing but air and gloves. Winky was a victim of a home town decision. Plus the HBO favorite factor had a lot to do with it.

Answer 4

i asked a similar question, check it out. i really dont know why, but you and i know it's true. Taylor get's decisions he doesn't deserve. WINKY HAD THAT FIGHT! just as Hopkins had that fight. even Taylor thought Winky had that fight but he gave it up the last round.

Answer 5

Yep, Winky got the green winky from the judges.
