it was close but im pissed with B-Hop because he forgot tounds
1-6 also count.
mad respect to both fighters after the fight in the interviews they both showed respect all i gotta say; REMATCH
"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.
Taylor wasnt prepared for what Hopkins did to him in the last rounds. Nobody can prepare for that,only way Hopkins loses the rematch is if he has a horrible night like tonight and I thought he still pulled it off 7 rounds to 5.
Like I said before, you can outland a guy 4,5 to 1 in the last 3-4 rounds, but if you lose the first rounds to that point, moot. You still loose cause you started to late, bad fight plan.

Sorry but I gotta say that I picked Taylor to win more than a month ago and I'm going with Hopkins in the rematch.
do any of you remember when you beat a champion you really beat him. I don't recall any champion losing by split dec. after winning the last 5 rounds do any of you.
Signed Mr pissed off
It was a competitive fight from a perspective but if you look deep into it. Hopkins stood his ground and landed at will on Taylor and conserved his energy. Hopkins didnt fight any different than he had in the past. I had Hopkins winning 7 rounds clearly.
Some people like to argue fight stats, I am not one of those people but if you want to Hopkins beat him convincingly.
i just got home from work and have read round by round.
so you have it that hopkins won the last seven rounds spinx?
was taylor more busy? is that why judges gave him more rounds?
in a couple of those rounds they said hopkins got rocked.
they havent posted on compubox the punches thrown per round. was taylor throwing more punches than hopkins?
i also bet taylor/hopkins draw. man doesnt seem that i was off very much calling a draw.22/1 odds.
