It would have been different if Taylor won in spectacular fashion like an early KO. But he didn't and it was a close fight. It's not hating it's more difference in opinions that's all.
Stop hating on JT!!

Well, said.. I am not HATING on JT, I don't hate him at all, yes he is the champ now, I can not deny it, I don't think he won the fight is all; it is my personal opinion and I have a right to it.Originally posted by FistoftheDallasStarIt would have been different if Taylor won in spectacular fashion like an early KO.

Maybe "discrediting" is a better word. People act like Taylor just stood still and did nothing to win.
He was the one who pressed the action in the early rounds as Bernard was doing his wait and bait thing. He wanted to get Taylor out of there late in the fight, but JT stood his ground and held on when he had to. After losing blood and being winded as hell, he hung on like a man and finished the fight.
I don't think Hopkins counted on Taylor hanging in there in the late rounds, and that is what ultimately cost him the fight. He started slow, sure, but he usually does. He sets people up for the finale, but this time the finale didn't finish the job.Comment
