*Request for posters who scored for Taylor*
When the fight re-airs or when a poster who scored for Taylor gets a chance, could you please give a detailed account of which rounds you scored for Taylor, why, and give specific reasoning as well?
I am just interested to see the exact reasoning for the 115-113 outcome for Taylor. With Taylor/Hopkins I, I gave a detailed account of why I thought Hopkins won 6 rounds, specifically winning rounds 3 and 5 when some scored those for Taylor.
Thanks.
EDIT: I will throw some points your way for the report, I'm very generous. :cool:
Im actually a guy who is not afraid of scoring an even round but you did it 4 times in 12 rounds?
This was not a fun fight to score but you have to look a litte closer than this.
I simply couldn't decide who was the winner of these rounds. none of them did anything. so I just scored them even.
Anyone who had either fighter winning better than 115-113 needs to quit scoring boxing.
I had it 115-113 Taylor. I quote that because it's very true....although maybe they gave one a draw making it 115-114 or 116-113 anyone who had it lets say.... 118-111 needs to stop scoring and/or watching boxing...

115-113 Hopkins
The 3rd round was probably the closest round of the fight. I believe Taylor landed 7 of 24 and Hopkins landed 7 of 26. That was really the only draw round in my mind but I gave it to Hopkins just based on the fact that if I called it a tie it wouldn't change me having Hopkins winning anyway.
I thought the funniest thing about the fight was that the other people in the room watching the fight with me (none of which really watch boxing very often besides one) thought Hopkins won.
Exact words from someone, "the guy with the gap in his teeth won".
LOL!

taylor 1,2,3,4,6,11
Hopkins 5,7,8,9,10,12
Overall i thought that Hopkins was guilty of what he said happened to taylor in the first time. He didnt beat the champion convincingly.
You know what I agree.........both fights were a Draw.This one more so than the first.
hopkins 115-113
in my opinion the biggest round of the fight was Rd. 11 for jermain, but it was only a 10-9 round. so in the scheme of things it means little as we know fights are scored on a round by round basis.
very close fight, i accept the decision.
Post your scorecard
Post what rounds you had for who(optional)
114-114, a draw.
Hopkins:1,6,7,8,9,12
Taylor:2,3,4,5,11
I had it a draw.
i saw the same fight as you.
i just watched the fight and i had it a draw. i dont know what to think of the 2 fights , if u put the 2 fights 2gether and scored it liked that, it would still be a draw.
I have to watch it again, cause I was so tense watching it and didn't keep score until the end. Granted, it was a very close fight, but this time it was Taylor who didn't do much the entire fight. Hopkins again pushed in the late rounds after getting his 40 year old engine going.
same hear have to watch it again....i was not fully mind focused on keeping score was too nervous..def thought hop fought a better fight this go round tho
