We see this over and over again from HBO fighters. Anytime an HBO champion looses a close decision it comes back a draw with one of the judges scoring the final round for the champion when there is no possible reason for it.
I had Winky by 1 round the first time I saw it. With the volume muted and watching punch placement closely, I had Winky by 3.

Actully 2 judges gave Taylor the 12th, in a round Winky took off to go to roadwork or somthing. So, I'd research your scorecards a little. It's completely opposite in this case giving Winky the 12th for no possible reason. Not to mention, your objectiveness is out the door the minute you came here and said "Winky got robbed". With that said, Winky put himself in that situation, the fight was close.
What did bother me, is for the fight to be a draw, a judge had to score the 12th for Winky, which he CLEARLY lost. He did nothing but back up or, box as some people seem to call it.
I didn't think anyone got robbed, I didn't think Winky won with such a poor 12th round, and I didn't think Taylor did enough to beat Winky. The first thing I said after the 12th was "Winky just gave Taylor a draw". Was a great fight, and I woulden't argue Winky winning, or the draw. Although, Taylor winning was a stretch.
