Hopkins stuns Taylor in rounds 10 & 11

I just dont get why so many peeps are claiming that jermain thinks he lost simply for saying, in the post fight interview, the EXACT SAME THING HE ALWAYS says!!! Even when he has just ko'ed somebody, those are the things he says. To use that in that way (admittance of having lost) makes absolutely no sense...he does it every, single time!

Calm down guys, this is the internet after all.

Yea why don't you come in say that shit in my face. You're a pussy just like your boy Hopkins. SEND ME A PLAIN TICKET TO LONDON. I MEAN NEW YORK CITY & I WILL OTHERWISE YOUR NOT WORTH MY TIME & MONEY.

First of all you shouldn't make fun of Stevie wonder, especially a blind nut-hugger like yourself should not make fun of a blind man. Go bitch all you want, you're a little bitch just like Hopkins. TIME FOR YOU TO GO CHANGE YOUR PANTYLINER MAN. I'M THROUGH WITH THIS CLOWN!

This has nothing to do with talk of scoring the fight of debating the score, so keep the bickering elsewhere. Simply put, here's where Hopkins stunned Taylor in: Round 10: & Round 11: :boxing:a thing of beauty

Like I said either your a blind fuck or an Hopkins nut-hugger. Guess what the 50% thinks that Hopkins won is one of the 2. Max Kellerman had the fight 115-113 for Hopkins, Kellerman is a nut-hugger just like yourself. It sounds to me like you have officially graduated & got you PHD (Playa Haters degree) or you are a "Taylor nuthugger". I tell you one thing I thought Hopkins won & if I'm a "nutthugger" then Jermain Taylor must be a Hopkins "Nutthugger" too because the way he acted after the fight surely shows he thought Hopkins won. P.S. Nutthuggers are most likely the type of jeans you have on because they are probably tight & cutting off oxygen to your brain thus explaining your biased posts toward Hopkins. IT WAS A VERY CLOSE FIGHT & TO SAY IT WASN'T SHOWS YOUR BIAS OR THAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY STEVIE WONDER POSTING ON A BOXING MESSAGEBOARD!

I'm not a blind fuck like some of you asslickers of Hopkins. The guy only won 3 rounds & that is it. Why don't you read some of my older post, you will see that I actually respect that dirty Hopkins. I've said some great things about Hopkins. But I'm honest & I don't like nut-huggers or asslickers. Taylor won 7 rounds. Noway you win a fight with last the 3 rounds. Folks if you think you're not a nut-hugger & still think that Hopkins won the fight, then this the fight that will test your eyes. If you think Hopkins won, then I recommend that you guys get your eyes checked, maybe it's time for some eye glasses. Your a fuckin joke man! From what I've been reading the consensus is that around 50 percent of people think Taylor won & other half believe Hopkins won or was a draw. Guys that no a hell of alot more about boxing than you & I like RJJ & Max Kellerman believe that Hokins won or at least was a draw. ARE THEY BLIND TOO? STOP SPEAKING LIKE YOUR OPINION IS FUCKIN FACT OR THE GOSPEL. SHIT EVEN TAYLOR THOUGHT HE LOST & HE WAS IN THE RING. My thing is that a guy being busier but not really landing any punches should not be any better than another fighter not landing many either & being less busy. In the beginning rounds all Taylor was doing more than Hopkins was wasting enery & that was Bernards plan. So how can a guy that is wasting useless energy & doing exactly what his opponent wants him to do actually be convincingly winning those rounds. I believe it should have been SD for Hopkins or at best for Taylor a draw. He definitely didn't do enough to take an all-time greats title. But hey that is boxing. I love it & at the same time hate it.

I had it a draw as well. THe fighters faces at the end told the story of how they really thought the fight went. Hopkins was smiling with DLH, then he had the most shocked look on his face ive ever seen when the decision was read. On Taylor's side it was the opposite. Of course nard looked shocked! He hasnt lost in over 10 yrs..so that defeat was something new to him, and well deserved!

and last i heard, it was EFFECTIVE aggressiveness that is meant to be scored

Judges look more at aggressiveness not compubox stats. Taylor was being the aggressor of the 2 till about the 10th round when he started tiring. hmmmmm.....so Foreman was beating Ali, and Jirov was beating Toney right?.....they were the "aggressors"

The more I see that round 10 clip the more I think Hopkins should have at least scored a KD and maybe a KO. Doesn't matter how much Taylor hung onto him, he's experienced enough that he should have been able to handle that.

or how about they are a competant boxing observer, hopkins won 7 rounds in my book....throwing punches doesnt mean u are scoring. Judges look more at aggressiveness not compubox stats. Taylor was being the aggressor of the 2 till about the 10th round when he started tiring.

Hopkins won the fight on his ring generalship,EFFECTIVE AGGRESSION, & clean punching. Taylor was aggressive but missed alot of his punches. Hopkins slipped & countered early & turned the heat up starting in the round where Taylor was cut in. From that point on if you weren't listening to the Hbo cheerleaders Lampley, Merchant, & Letterman; anyone could see Hopkins slight adjustments in the fight. He became more & more aggressive & swept the 2nd half of the fight.

You get hit and you immediately back up into the ropes and cover up...hmm and you don't consider that stunned? :rolleyes: No, that doesn't mean a fighter's hurt. It's just getting into a defensive mode especially if you're not in the proper position to throw back and counter. If a fighter's off balance and the other fighter throws a punch even if it hits him on the gloves or on the shoulders they can fall back onto the ropes it doesn't necessarily mean they guys hurt.

Not true, I think any one that is not blind, can tell you that Taylor clearly won the fight, unless you are an Hopkins nut-hugger like yourself. This is how I look at, if anyone thinks Hopkins won the fight, is either blind can see very well or is an asslicker of Hopkins. I stand by this very strongly. Since you think that Taylor won very convincingly, I guess that makes u a Taylor nuthugger then?

Stop with the asslicking of Hopkins. You are blind, you just don't have a fair judgment. Like I said if anyone thought Hopkins won the fight, I have no respect for you. This was not a hard fight to score. Show this fight to a person that never heard of Hopkins & Taylor, I guarantee that person will pick Taylor winning the fight. That fight could have gone either way, and anyway you look you see about half of everyone seeing it one way or the other. For you to talk about your take on the fight like it's factual and gospel, and dismiss anyone elses is just plain ignorant. Almost everyone from either side has said it was a close fight. For you to suggest otherwise like it's a fact only shows how narrow minded and self righteous you are.

If you haven't even see the fight, so what the fuck you're giving your opinion on the fight. Hopkins didn't win a round until the 10th, Hopkins won the last 3 rounds, Taylor won 7 rounds & 2 rounds was a draw. Hopkins was running away from Taylor for most of the fight. Like I said it last night, if any person saw the fight, thinks that Hopkins won the fight is either completely blind or an Hopkins asslicker. Hopkins won at least two of first eight rounds if not more & the last 4 rounds easily. That at least gives him a draw. Alot of the first 7-8 rounds were very close. Basically rounds were just given to Taylor for being busier but he wasn't hitting Hopkins any more than he was getting hit. Hopkins was trying to tire him out so letting him throw alot punches early & miss was not a bad idea. Remember at the end of the fight the 26 yr old "Bull" was tired not the "Aging matador". Taylor knew he lost the fight you could see it right before the decision. IN MY MIND HOPKINS WON OR AT LEAST GOT THE DRAW. A 12 YEAR CHAMPIONS TITLE CAN'T BE TAKEN BECAUSE A GUY SWING & MISSED HIM MORE. DAMN HBO!!

This has nothing to do with talk of scoring the fight of debating the score, so keep the bickering elsewhere. Simply put, here's where Hopkins stunned Taylor in: Round 10: & Round 11: :boxing: u should make a gif of when taylor hurt hopkins wit that body shot

IHopkins didn't win a round until the 10th, Hopkins won the last 3 rounds, Taylor won 7 rounds & 2 rounds was a draw. That's the WORST account I've heard. Someone should stop you from watching boxing period. He may not have seen the fight, but apparently he's got a better handle on it than you do. Just brutal.

OK then let everyone know after you watch the fight. Be honest about it. Watch the first 9 rounds & you will see that Taylor won 7 & 2 was a draw. Hopkins won the last 3 rounds, also keep your eye on Hopkins, you will see him holding & hitting like 20 different times. Hopkins missed many punches, just like Taylor, the only reason compubox had Hopkins landing 10 more punches is because he was holding & hitting Taylor 3 or 4 times every time. Those punches should've not counted but it will show up on the compubox. I respect Hopkins accomplishments but he is one of the dirtiest fighters I ever seen. Alright I'll keep an eye out for that.
