Even though boxing is about the fight in the ring, a lot of politics and side business affects the outcome of the fight.
I don't know how many of you know this but Lou Dibella has the senior president of HBO and TVKO back a few years before he stepping down. Hopkins and Dibella also have a rich history.
Do you think that gave Taylor some connections to win that fight, especially that 12th round that would've resulted in a draw fight for Hopkins and retaining the titles.
