Hopkins files appeal/Hopkins, King claims denied

Yeah, giving the fight 116-112 to Nard is ridiculous…

Absolutely!! Geeze, so much for taking the loss like a man.

Yeah, there was a rematch clause, so i don't know what's all this **** bout...He will have to wait till Taylor's cut heals...After makin Taylor take the fight with a 24 hr deadline, Taylor should do the same and make him wait till Nov-Dec...

Taylor didn't take the fight with the 24 hour deadline. He actually went way past that deadline before signing.

I agree to me he is crying and now needs his diaper changed

Exactly. He was always a thug-ass piece of trash, but when did he turn into an infantile little *****?

[SonnyG8R]

I think it's all just so that he can get a rematch by the end of the year. They exercised the rematch clause but that doesn't mean that the Taylor camp can't put it off until next year. If they wanted to the Taylor camp could just say that they won't fight again until next year.

Taylor won, he holds the cards. If he wants to heal fully and fight the rematch in 06 that's his perogative.

He will more than likely be fully healed before December. They know Hopkins doesn't want to fight past his next birthday. Everybody knows he holds the cards but if he wants to be a real champ like he says then he will give Hopkins the rematch by the end of this year instead of trying to wait it out. Hopkins gave him his shot when he didn't have to so Taylor should do the same.

I think that while it is Taylor's decision when he'll choose to fight for the rematch, history will not be happy if Taylor puts it off too long. The last fight put a bad taste in everybody's mouth because everybody knew Hopkins should have won. I'm not saying he did win the fight(was a draw in my opinion), but it was obvious he could have and should have won the fight if he had gone to work one round earlier.

The longer Taylor waits, the older Hopkins gets. The older Hopkins gets, the better Taylor looks during the fight. After the fight not many boxing fans will be happy to see that he let age do more work on Hopkins than he could.

I disagree Taylor should ask for a 70-30 split, heal up and then fight when ever he wants **** hopkins.....He didnt beat Taylor or was it a draw

[glarrabee]

Headbutt's are not what caused jermaine's face to swell up like a water balloon. Hopkins won a lot more rounds than people are giving him credit for. I have seen the fight 4 times, I believe that it was an even fight after 8 rounds. Watch it again before you argue, jemaine throws an ass load of punches but lands hardly any. Hopkins just outscored him most of the fight.

I agree. Maybe if Hopkins was taking the loss like a man instead of filing appeals and crying like *****. Taylor needs to do what's best for him at this point and not even worry about what Hopkins wants.
