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

[nycdweller]

What's next for Hopkins and Taylor? Did anyone hear the after fight comments?

[Stealthic]

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

I don't think he will. Taylor has seen what Hopkins is all about now. He will know how to pace himself. Aside from that, he lost a LOT of blood on that nasty ass cut. You could literally tell at the end of the fight that Taylor was dazed. He went to his corner like a zombie, probably dizzy and light headed as all hell.

B-Hop will only get older as Taylor gets better. That's the only way I can see a rematch going. People kept saying Taylor wasn't ready, and hell looking at the last few rounds, maybe he wasn't... But next time, you can bet the bank he'll be ready for anything Hopkins throws at him.

theres a rematch clouse.

Hmmm......

Now that I think of it, Hopkins REALLY was robbed. I mean, at the end of the fight you say to yourself, "Did the challenger do enough to take the titleholder's belt?" IMO Taylor did not. All he did was rally with some weakass shots once in a while and the champ punished him for a few rounds. Other than that Taylor didn't really score on B-HOp. Oh well, vegas judges ALWAYS **** UP! {i.e Pacquiao vs. JMM, ODLH vs. TITO, and it goes on......}

CAN WE STOP MAKING 100's OF THE SAME THREADS! Gives Rick Reeno a harder job combining them all since there was already a thread about the same topic posted.

Not only was Hopkins robbed but so was I...

I was reading the round by round, then I see Rick scored almost every round for Taylor, then I say PLASE HOPKINS, KNOCK HIM DOWN SO I CAN WIN MY MONEY!

I bet $70 on Hopkind via Decision..

I see Taylor wins a split decision..

I go upstairs and nearly cry...

then I come back to hear Hopkins was robbed!!!

Not only was my boy B Hop robbed, but so was I!!!

This night sucks for me, and Hopkins...

Taylor is still overrated, btw some karma would help me feel better...












jk
or am i?

[sisforshaq]

The decision was fine my scoring of the bout seemed pretty fair I thought since I had two Hopkins fans sitting next to me who agreed with it..

Rounds to Taylor
1,2,3,4,6,7,8

Rounds to Hopkins
5,9,10,11,12

115-113 Taylor

[RastaSmoker]

Is there anyone that argues that taylor won the 5 of the first six rounds.

Bernard Hopkins: "It's not a case where I believe I lost ... I KNOW I won this fight!" uh...not this time champ.

[nezahualcoyotl]

Anyone think this fight ruined Taylor? I read his left eye was swollen, he was cut and bleeding, AND almost got KTFO!

I think if there is a rematch B-Hop ends his career *cough* fernando vargas *cough* lolz.
