Credit to Hopkins

[TyrantT316]

At 40 years old...he chose this risky fight...made it close...just needed to be more active for a round or two more...

Good and interesting fight...

he has nothing to be ashamed of...he may have waited too long in the beginning...but came on strong to hurt Taylor a couple of times...

Considering what Manny said before the fight in the hype, it was a big compliment for him to say that this close decision loss still keeps Hopkins among the top few of all time.

I agree, he gave the young guy a shot with everything to lose and nothing to gain.

Tyrant, is that you?

**** that ****. That was a bull**** decision. Not because they gave it to Taylor but because one of the judges that gave him the win gave Taylor the 12th round, which was obviouse that Hopkins won.

Also Taylor looked like a beatedn fighter at the end of the fight. He just walked back to his corner didnt raise his hand and looked real sad.

this is a 50/50 thing. you could say he wanted it because he knew Taylor was young and inexpirenced

Probably more anxious than sad. He also had a huge cut on his head. All that blood loss ass the fight progressed definetly makes you light headed and dizzy.
