    Taylor vs. Hopkins II - Who Won?

    Since circle re-upped this fight yesterday I figured, what better time to discuss it. Being that the first time I saw this fight I was in my infancy stage of boxing knowledge, I didn't score it except in my own head and I thought Taylor edged it out. After re-watching the fight and scoring it round-by-round, I had it 115-113 for Hopkins. I gave Hopkins round 1, which was very close, and I gave Taylor round 7, also very close, AND a round which every judge gave to Hopkins.

    Fights like this are prime topics for discussion in NSB, so what do you guys think?

        Taylor 116-112 on my card. But the rematch didn't need to happen, Hops won the first one easy on my card.

          Coulda went either way but Taylor/Hopkins I was closer IMO.Hopkins should have won or at least gotten a draw in the first fight.

            Hopkins lost both ..showed Jermain too much respect early on in BOTH fights. He started quicker in the second one but he still lost. He let too many rounds go in both fights. and thats that.

              You should have made the poll public. Every Calzaghe fanatic will pick Taylor, even if they didn't see the fight.

              Hopkins won the second fight.
              I scored the first one a draw when I watched it live.

                I had Bernard winning 115-113 also, but it's not something I'm always gonna be that mad about. They were both close fights and could possibly see Taylor winning, but still scored it for Bernard the times I've watched it.
