When a decision is this close it's understandable why some fans will be happy and some bitter. This is the law of polarities; however, the official record that will go in the history books is Taylor W12 Hopkins...
So you fans in denial can cry a river but JT owns those belts - all of'em and he did by fighting a CLEAN and RESPECTFUL fight. The close decision victory that Trinidad got over De La Hoya did not hurt his career, and this won't hurt Taylor's either. Especially considering the fact that more than a few people thought he won.
So I'll leave it to the Hopkins' fans to cry politics and robbery. All I know is there's a new champ in town and his name is Jermain "Bad Intentions" Taylor.
The guy that wrote the article is either blind or he's an nut-hugger of Hopkins like yourself. Taylor clearly won & he's a class act, he's not a little ***** like Hopkins.
I agree man, The person who wrote that article seemed very bias.
I don't hug anyones nuts and Hopkins is not a little *****. Look at Taylor after the fight, does he look like he won?
Come on bro. You know that isn't how a fight is scored. They don't look at the two fightewrs at the end and say well, fighter A looks fresher than fighter B so fighhter A won. You judge each round individually. And based on that criteria Taylor won. Hopkins didn't do much of anything in the early rounds. Had a nice 5th and won the last 4 rounds. Thats about it. If you aren't going to take your head out of your ass until the 9th round you can't expect to win a fight.
Congradulations to "Bad Intentions" he was not as experienced or skilled but fought all 12 rounds and pulled the fight out on heart. He had Hopkins backing up for the majority of the fight. Plain and simple he won the fight, pretty or not.
I don't hug anyones nuts and Hopkins is not a little *****. Look at Taylor after the fight, does he look like he won?
Yeah all this name calling's getting a little silly. You can't react to everyone that thought Hopkins won with cheap insults. I don't agree with THE TRUTH's opinion of the fight but he's one of BS's top long-standing members and you have to respect what he has to say.

That isn't sound logic at all. Ali definitely beat George Chuvalo in their first fight and yet it was Chuvalo who went dancing with his wife that night while Ali went to the hospital and spent the next week pissing blood.
