Short term memory makes people believe Hopkins won

[marvdave]

any word on when the replay will be on?

I missed it ..believe it or not

Slip- go back and watch the fight. Taylor was landing and that is the reason why he won 7 of the first 8. as ron burgandy would say "it's science"

I just watched it. Hopkins landed more punches through that fight, and more power shots. The kid was throwing punches and missing on a lot of them. His connect percentage wasn't very good. The half of the fight was close, with a slight edge going to Taylor. The 7/8 rounds were very close. The last four rounds were dominated by Hopkins. I think it should have been a draw, at least. Taylor did not deserve a win. You have to take a fight from a champion. You can't take a fight from a champion by losing the championship rounds. Honestly, I've never seen a title get given away like that.

Taylor won 7 of the frist 8. No he did not just destroy Hopkins but he DID win those rounds and they count just as much as every other round. therefor 115-113 JERMAIN TAYLOR.

People can argue all day and night long...it doesn't change the fact that Talor is The New Middleweight Champion of the World.

Oh I have...it was Jones-Tarver 1.

I think some people need to learn about defense. Hopkins had it and Taylor didn't. How people can have Taylor winning the first 7,8 or 9 rounds is crazy. Like I said before I don't usually follow compubox stats but they really told the story of the fight this time. The first round alone was Hopkins 7 out of 12 and Taylor was 3 out of 33 from what Lampley said.

hmm

Yeah right. Jones won the championship rounds in the first fight. TracyLee, I see you forget how to score a fight when it comes to Jones-Tarver. Flurries don't win a round. The fight was close but not as close as Taylor-Hopkins, which I had 116-115. Tarver wasn't a REAL champion in the fight with Roy anyway, Roy was still seen as champ who had just taken a break from holding the belts.

And also as with Hopkins-Taylor, the majority felt Jones won, except the margin was greater. All admitted it was a close fight, but when it comes down to it, even 80% of the ********** members (a site notorious for Jones hating) admitted Jones won.

Either way, it was a close fight, so no one was robbed. Sorry. Don't start being a hypocrite just because you don't like Roy.

Nope, didnt forget a thing...I scored that fight 114-114, a draw. Nobody 'forgets' how to score. H wasnt a 'real' champ?? Bull****, he had the belts, and was introduced last, if I recall correctly.

Oh, so now I'm a hypocrit??? Guess that makes you a biased Jones fan, right? See, I never would have pointed that out before, since name calling aint my 'thing'
