I know it was close but Hopkins was robbed...

[Diablo]

One of of the two judges that had it 115-113 Taylor. Gave the last round to Taylor. One of the rounds I believe Hopkins took control.



Draw

[ottoevans]

just cause the man was active doesnt mean he was being effected, Taylor thrrew a lot of shots and most didnt connect he either got countered or slipped. If Hopkins only won 3 rounds then he wounndt have hit more shots and power shots than Taylor

[Tha Greatest]

sorry man hopkins will own taylor in the rematch. no doubt!

At least you didn't lose $70 bro

[stevenalexander]

i cant believe that 1 god damn judge gave the last round to taylor. Thats so bs.

[mikefromstu]

Gimme a break. When someone looses he gets robbed? It was a GoldenBoy promotion if there was any type of robbery it would have gone the other way. Face facts he LOST. There will be a rematch so maybe Hopkins wont wait so long to get going next time.

sorry man hopkins will own taylor in the rematch. no doubt!

haha! owned?? Hell no, more like ****d. Taylor showed me a lot in this fight. He might be strong but hes has no technique. Did anyone see those wiiiiide ass punches he threw??

[The Golden Boy]

ROBBERY!!! I would have been OK with a draw but Taylor winning is absolute BS. The so called "right hand shook Hopkins" in the second round did't even land but rather grazed of his back, whereas Hopkins shook Taylor on numerous occasions from the 9th round on. The challenger has to take the belts from the champ, they can't have it given to them.

Does anyone have the after fight comments from Larry Merchant with Tayolor and B-HOP and oscar de la hoya (jus a guess he's in there).

[gdblstx]

Yes Jinx, that is his style, I know, hold hit, jab from outside, feel him out a few rounds, and then KO, good night Oscar. But that was not the case here. Taylor did his homework, got rocked a few times, but won enough early to carry the fight.

[ottoevans]

yeah none of Taylors power punches landed.
