Just re-watch the fight again

[Super_Lightweight]

hmm

Hopkins lost the first four rounds. He did nothing. Taylor was the only one TRYING to do something, and he was very effective in spurts, whereas Hops was not effective at all.

Hopkins can do all the damage he wants late in the fight, and give Taylor brain damage, but that won't change the scores of the rounds early in the fight.

116-113 for Taylor.

As for a rematch...how is Hopkins going to emphatically beat Taylor. Hopkins is only going to be older, and Taylor will now have the benefit of a 12 round fight with Bernard Hopkins. Do you think Hopkins will pick up the pace? If he was confident in his old age with his ability to sustain the pace needed to beat a young guy like Taylor decisively, he would have done it tonight, and he didn't.

THANK YOU. I was wondering if anyone else was going to see that

Could you try a little harder to sound like your opinion is fact?


This is fairly split in opinion. Don't ack like your take on the scoring is gospel.

I taped it so Ima rewatch it again tomororw. But when I saw it LIVE, Taylor never hurted Hopkins, except maybe a punch that landed in the 2nd round that made Hopkins went back a little bit. But Hopkins punished Taylor in rounds 10, 11, and 12.

And that's about it!!! 10,11...Taylor won!!!

Rematch: If Taylor doesn't waist as much energy as he did in the first fight taylor should win this one too. NOONE can take what Taylor did to Hopkins tonight. I don't undersatnd the controversy??

espn had two even rounds in a 116-114 taylor. hopkins got the 12 round of course.

if one of the judges had't of given the 12 round to taylor it would of been a draw. i would of scored a little stash in vBookie.

with 3 even rounds i had it 116-115 taylor.

hopkins got to taylor making taylor throw more glancing blows with rage.

i'm suprised the inexperiance taylor didn't loose it when he seen his own blood after headbutt. that would of shrunk the confidents of even more expirienced boxers.

taylor stood up to him.

in the post fight taylor was already anylizing what he did wrong in the fight. man this guys for real.

cant wait for the rematch..taylor does it easier second time around.

all i can say is: exactly!

He needed to fight his normal style... i didnt see him double/triple/quadripple up on his jabs like he normally does...

Usually he circles his opponent jabbing them 2 3 4 consecutive times... in the second fight he'll unleash his jab from the starting bell.
