When A Draw Is The Wright Decision

By – Danny Serratelli

Rarely is there a fight where a draw is expected or accepted with open arms, but in the Winky Wright vs. Jermain Taylor fight last night the draw was proper. In a fight of this magnitude, where neither fighter really deserves to lose, a draw can be an acceptable outcome. The judges scored this fight 115-113 Wright (Hawkins), 115-113 (Taylor) and 114-114 (Lathan), I had the fight scored the same as Chuck Giampa 115-113 Taylor and HBO’s Harold Ledderman had it scored a draw 114-114, the same as Lathan. Fans should not only notice when judges do a bad job of scoring a fight, and this appeared to be a case where the judges were all consistent and the result was fair.
