Taylor beat Hopkins because...........

[-Hyperion-]

theres a trend with writers- east coast gives it to the slick and-or black guy

west coast to the ones who "does more damage"(even if the "damaged" fighter never gives any serious signs of being hurt)

by the way, the mosley de la hoya rematch is proof of my theory.....

most writers gave it to mosley(ima fan of mosley, hate oscar but everyone knows balco shane lost that ****...)

east coast-kinda slick black, check.

west coast-totally exagerated more damage, check.

ere go most had mosley winning

you wanna know why taylor won? lampley said it best

"huge right hand by taylor!" and the punch sails over hopkins head

[Johnny Rebel]

Taylor won both fights luckily since both fights could have gone either way IMHO. Hopkins was the much better fighter in the championship rounds in both fights.
