Taylor won the fight. Cry about it all u want but Taylor won. Hopkins must be "old" like everyone would like to believe, btu that's just stupid.l It's funny how when Hopkins wins he's so badass, but when he loses he's too old to be in the ring. If he was that old, he shoulve hung em up. Anyone from here on out who makes excuses should be classified a bitch who sucks Hopkins nuts.
I think Hopkins had a good run, but it was amazing to me that he lasted this long in boxing. I think a truer test will be if Taylor can match those 20 title defenses, which is quite an accomplishment no matter how you feel about Hopkins as a fighter.
If I was in Hopkins shoes, I would have no shame despite the DiBella mess and move on with life.
Take care and GOD bless.
I was unhappy abt the verdict, and I think tne reaction of the 2 camps at the ending bell said it all. To be the champ, you have to WHOOP the champ, but marginaly outpoint him! And if that margin is based on Taylor coming fwd and being the aggressor, despite Ex landing the quality shots, then there is much to complain about.
That said, well done to the young man. BHOP is a legend, and all reigns come to an end.
Hopkins has been doing that shit for years though, its about time he got beat for running, he doesnt work his jab anymore and replies on his name to pick him up extra points, he got extra points for his name this time but Taylor won the majority of the rounds. the judge who had Hopkins winning by wide margins should be investigated because there's no way he won as many as Taylor, never mind a lot more.
So many people thought Taylor was too green to face someone like Hopkins, if he was then it should of never have been a close fight, no doubt Taylor took the first half of the fight and Ex the rest. Hopkins himself said he would take Taylor out anyway he felt like, that Taylor would be looking out his corner to stop it and wonder what the fu** they got him into. But that never happened,not that I believe that ish Ex was trying to preach. Hops himself was stunned by that big right Taylor got him in the early rounds and would of been down had it not been by the ropes and it would of been a 10-8 round. I thought it was a draw, but a it was very important fight and draws dont happen that often in big fights . Besides Hopkins proved he is a bad mofo at 40 in this fight, and 2 he cant fu** with Tarver if he couldnt dominate a bit green Taylor. Nard only has one good fight left in him and thats a rematch with Taylor cuz he cant take on anyone higher than 160.
Long live the Golden Boy Prom. curse and Hopkins dont belong in the top 10 middleweigths of all time.
Hopkins won the last 3 rounds big but it was obvious Taylor won, its not even worth the debate because there is no doubt about the winner.
Its just a case of Hopkins saying he was robbed and people saying the same. The majority of people who think Hopkins won cant form an opinion for themselves.
Personally, i didnt see it as that close off a fight. I kept score and in the end i thought it was close. But then i looked at my score card and i had it 117-112 Taylor winning rounds1,2,3,4,7,8,9,12 and Hopkins winning rounds 6,10,11 and a 10-10 5th round. I can see someone having 115-113 Taylor or at worst a draw 114-114 but to all who TRUELY think that hopkins was robbed and youre not just being a loyal nutthugger, you actually think he was robbed, you should really think of maybe joining a football forum or some shit cause boxing aint youre thing.
Who gives a shit about threads? Yeah, I care abou some idiots biased post. Yeah it was closer in the final rounds, but to discredit Taylor for winning pretty much all of the first seven rounds is just retardedness. Are you a retard Bozo? Oh yeah, you go around hating on everyone who likes VK , even though he would kill all of the heavyweights so I guess you are. You need a social life pretty bad:)
What people are you referringto? I'm curious. I'm a jackass because I see a fight go the way the judges scored it? Shame on you. Why don't you go infiltrate some Vitali Klitscho thread you fucking no credible hater.
Popular opinion was split for this fight, try reading some of the threads.
What business do you have lecturing people who saw it differently from you in a fight this close?
You've always been an ignorant hack, and this is only further evidence.
This officially proves how much of an idiot you are.
People are split down the middle on this fight, and it was a good close competitve fight.
There's no need to be a jackass and talk about your opinion of the fight like it's gospel.

Hopkins actually used the same style as he does aginst all his opponents. The differecne is that Taylor actually is a true middleweight and this fight is the toughest since Hopkins fought Roy Jones, IMO.

That's the beauty of being in Hopkins shoes. If he losses people will just say he's too old, which in my opinion, is a pretty valid reason. Going in to the fight Hopkins had really nothing to lose. He's already defended his title for about ten years and he is pretty old in boxing years going against a hungry young, hungry fighter. So I guess what I'm saying is, Taylor just wanted it more.
I just think that Hopkins LOST the title
Rather than Jermain TOOK the title...
i know it seems ambiguous because either way he won, but i think in the rematch we'll see the real BAD INTENTIONS in Taylor.
How can u say that when Taylor, being way behind in odds defeatedHopkins. If anything the ramatch wil show even more why Hopkins shouls just retire. Not because he's old, but because he can't handle the true middleweights.

who said he was too old to fight?
Not u brother. I am just venting my anger towards the people who said if Hopkins wins its because he's so good but if he loses, its because he's old and past his prime.
I kid you not, I've seen a few people on here who even before the fight said that if Taylor wins it's because Hopkins is too old. I'm just syaing that aside from all pussy ass excuses Taylor won and if anybody wants to talk shit then to talk it when Taylor actually LOSES!!!
