    Short term memory makes people believe Hopkins won

    all people remember is those last 4 rounds. people seems to easily forget that Taylor dominated 7 out of the first 8 and as you see in my profile pic had Bhop looking like a chump.

    Hopkins is a legend and has done a lot of great things but folks THERE IS A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN!

            Hopkins getting a taste of his own medicine?

            And I didn't watch it again yet, but that sure as HELL doesn't look like he hit him in the back of the head. He sent him reeling BACKWARDS, a feat that would be near impossible from hitting someone in the BACK of the head. His arm isn't even exnteded enough to wrap around Nard's head.

              hmm

              Hopkins was leaning down to his right, and the side of his head was exposed. Taylor was able to hit him with a right hand just behind and above Hopkins' left ear. I think it was a clean punch.

                That's exactly right. You don't win a fight by giving away/losing 7 of the first 8 rounds. How they looked at the end of the fight doesn't mean ****.

                  Domination= landing punches on a fighter

                  what taylor was doing =throwing leather, missing, and getting countered

                    thats a fact. YES, the championship rd's are the most important, but they are not the only rds. Any unbiased person scoring that fight on the 10 POINT MUST SYSTEM can not possibly have hop. winning!!! It would take some seriously 'tricky' math at the end to have b-hop as the winner..the same kind of math that Roth apparently used (unless, of course, he said to hell with the 10 pt. must system all together since his boy was clearly not winning any rd's)
