A draw would be the most logical choice but this is boxing and the sport is anything but logical.

There's already a poll up HERE

I was going to sticky it but didn't have enough points.

I had it 115-113 for Taylor but I was biased because I was listening to hbo commentary and looking at the Lederman card. I would have loved for it to be a draw cause than I would have won 22mil from vbookie

I saw that one, but I didn't want to take the time to add up the different questions to see who thought who won

Watch it through without the commentary, I have noticed when I watch fights with sound especially if it is on HBO I will be a bit more biased. However, when I watch it with audio off I see and notice a lot more.

This was true for me when DLH fought Hopkins, I watched it with sound on and gave DLH quite a few rounds but I watched it numerous times with the sound off and I had Hopkins winning a bit more rounds before the stoppage.

It pisses me off that the HBO crew doesnt call a lot of the shots from a fighter they dont want to win. I know the judges probably cant hear them but it makes it seem more biased that way.

It is mainly lampley who does it and his voice overcasts the rest of the crew. Jones/Merchant/Bernstein would be a golden team.

I'm just a simple-minded guy.

Does that mean you think Hopkins won?

I believe it could have been called 7 rounds to 5 for Hopkins or a 6-6 split. It was close but personally I thought Hopkins stole a round early (which would be disputed) and the 5th round was his as well was 8-12.
