Should this be considered a controversial descision?

I had the fight as a draw or a winky win.

I am NO Fan Of Jermaine Taylor... I do NOT think he won B-Hop I or II..
I think he is negative and nothing but HBO hype..

BUT...

I am one of the few people who seem to Think he beat Winky

Larry Merchant is probably like the majority who are just upset at the wide margin.
I don't think Winky won that fight.

The beginning to middle were close, but towards the end Winky was so out of it... Hopkins frustrated him, and at times made Winky look unprofessional.

I don't know wtf Winky was doing throwing hooks and overhands with his head down like he was swimming, but that **** was ugly.

B Hop won. The judges were wrong though.No way was it as wide as the scorecards said. It was 115-113 to Hopkins.

I dont know why I thought this was about Winky Taylor.. maybe because I saw that Fight recently again too and was thinking about it...

But NO way Did Winky beat B-Hop... to me It was as wide as the Judges scored it..
Winky Looked like the 42 year Old NOT Hopkins..

Merchant might be getting blind. He needs to get his eyes checked. Honestly I only saw winky win like 3 rounds. Winky threw feather weight punches. Hopkins was way more agreesive and active and landed the harder shots.

the more i watch the fight the more i see winky miss. there were a **** ton of punches by winky that miss their target or were over on the back of hopkins head. not saying that he was hitting in the back of the head but the shots weren't hitting the point scoring part of the head.

winky was far from looking or being effective in any way really. i just think that hopkins style with movement and rough housing had winky thrown off his game plan and then winky got worn out by hopkins style and by the extra weight he isn't used to fighting with.

but whatever, just cause hopkins don't fight pretty doesn't mean he didn't win, winky sure as hell didn't take it from hopkins.
