    One judge gave Taylor the 12th...resulting in SDecision

    I don't knoiw which judge, but on ESPNews they said if this judge had given the 12th to Hopkins ith would have been a draw. I didn't see the fight...is it true that Taylor could have been perceived to have won the 12th?

        I hoped it was going to be a draw cause than my 1 million with vbookie would have made me 22 million points. I also thought that the 12th round was very close and could have been a 10-10 round.

            People make too much of the scoring imo. This isn't ping-pong, the score is a guideline to help you determine the winner, and it shouldn't be so sacred. That's why there are three judges making the decision.

            People make the same big stink about JMM/Paq but I don't see how anyone could seriously think that Paq was robbed when he let Mraquez come all the way back like that, regardless of the rules. Similarly, since Hopkins did so little in the first half of the fight I don't think he deserves to win, no matter what the technicalities of the point system.

            You try to turn boxing too much into a score the most points contest then you end up with **** like Olympic boxing.

              Both guys ****** ass. Hops started too late. Taylor got winded and got really sloppy. Hops won that 12th round. It was a close fight and should've been a draw.

                  round 12 definately belonged to Hopkins. There was no chance Taylor could have won round 12.
