    Hopkins files appeal!
    Bernard Hopkins has filed an appeal to the Nevada Athletic Commission for a review and reconsideration of the decision of last Saturday night's middleweight championship bout against Jermain Taylor. Hopkins appeal is based on the rules governing the Nevada Athletic Commission and the scoring of the 12th round for Taylor by veteran judge Duane Ford. In addition Hopkins has sent a letter to the WBA requesting a review of the scoring and an immediate rematch pursuant to the rules of the organization. Hopkins is considering similar appeals to the WBC and IBF.

    Hopkins, King claims denied!
    A Panel of the American Arbitration Association has just issued a decision in connection with Bernard Hopkins and Don King's claims against each other arising out of their promotional relationship. Hopkins sued King seeking in excess of $1.5 million for King's failure to promote the full number of bouts which he was required to promote under the three year agreement. King countersued seeking in excess of $20 million claiming that he was damaged by Hopkins' refusal to participate in a rematch against Felix Trinidad, thus leading to Trinidad's first retirement, and for Hopkins' premature termination of his promotional relationship with DKP. The Panel denied Hopkins' claim stating that both parties to the promotional agreement failed to negotiate reasonably with respect to the bout which King did not do for Hopkins. The Panel denied King's claims stating that with respect to the Trinidad rematch and claims for a continuation of Hopkins' contractual obligations. The Panel also decided that Hopkins has to return a $150,000 advance that King paid Hopkins during the course of their relationship.

    I don't feel Hopkins should have set an appeal on the decision. I think he should just push for a rematch, because I don't think Taylor's camp want him in with Hopkins anytime soon.

        I was about to call Hopkins a sore *****, until i seen the basis, and i agree.. He deserves an appeal if you base it off of the scoring of Round 12, Jermain Taylor did not win that round, and Hopkins should get an appeal..

          You wish, why didn't his weak ass do it the first time then, coz he couldn't!!! Taylor was overrated, i seen it in the fight.. the kid has no experience, minimal power, and a questionable chin.. be real man, Hopkins loss depended on his performance, and not Taylors.. Basically, if Taylor would of tried his hardest, and put on his greatest performance, it wouldn't matter.. But if Hopkins put on his greatest performance, Taylor would be out of there really quick, or just get totally dominated, like he did in the late rounds, coz the punk kid has no wind..

            I think Hopkins is pushing for this apeal just for that reason, Taylors camp wont give him the rematch anytime soon. He wants one or the other to push threw, either he gets an imediate rematch or he gets his belts back on the draw.

              I understand that but what Im saying is if you re judge round 12 then round 1-9 needs to re judged and Hopkins still loses. You cant just rejudge 1 round rejudge them all....... At the end Hopkin loses.

              He started late and paid the price like a ***** who is crying now.....
              He got what he deserved

                Give Hopkins some cheese to go with his whine! Jermain beat him. He lost. His only effective blows weren't punches. They were headbutts. He needs to stop whining and take it to the ring. Actually he doesn't want to do that. He will get whipped again.
