I've watched this fight 4 times now and every time i am more pissed at the decision. In these threads about hopkins dis*****g the decision everyone keeps saying that the judge that scored it 116-112 should be evaluated.... BS. I score it 116-112 every time i watch it, I even give round 9 to taylor because well placed body shots. Watch this fight a few times and see who is throwing puches and who is LANDING punches. Rounds 1,3,6, and 9 for taylor. The rest are B-Hop's rounds! ALL round that could go either way are hopkins rounds!!!!! To be the champ you need to BEAT the champ! Bernard Hopkins... The Peoples CHAMP!!!! Hopefully Taylor is ready by october because B-Hop is fighting in october, if it's not Taylor it will be someone else.

I'll repost my analysis :
Rounds 1-4 I've given all to Taylor.
Round 5 I gave to Hopkins easily. Also, the cut occured at this round.
Round 6 was hard to score. Neither fighters started throwing until a minute into teh round when Taylor threw a combo. Lots of posing. 30 seconds left, Taylor throws a flurry when Hopkins is against the rope but took a good left hook in the process. Hopkins wasn't hit in the exchange. 15 seconds to go, Taylor walks into another left jab by Hopkins. 8 seconds left, Taylor throws a flurry but they all land on the hips. Takes another left hook in the process. Hopkins wins that one but Lampley is right by saying that Taylor was more active. I'll give this one to Hopkins
Round 7, Taylor is jabbing but not touching. If he is, Bernard is so far away that when the glove makes contact, Taylor's arm is already pulling back - almost no impact but Lederman thinks it's a good hit. No it's not. Hopkins is now leaning into Taylor and throwing a right lead and connecting. They are both clinching and punching - Hopkins is clearly winning in that affair. Hopkins wins that round. Sorry. But my opinion.
Round 8, Hopkins and taylor exchanging some light taps. Neither willing to commit some weight behind it. 1:54 left in rd 8 and Hopkins "looks" like he connects with a left which makes Taylor slip, Bernard throws a quick right but headbutts him on his jaw, Taylor throws a strong flurry to Bernard's body and backs away. Lots of posing again. 1:05 left, Taylor eats a thudding left hook from Hopkins. Holding and hitting by Hopkins and gets a warning. Neither fighter really connected all that much. The most obvious was that left that Taylor took at 1:05. Hopkins.
Round 9, 2:45 Hopkins connects with a left right and leans and clinches Taylor. 2:30 Taylor connects with a beautiful 7 punch combo to the body and head (blocked though) of Bernard as he is near the corner. 1:50, both jab and connect but Taylor jabbed more. Then Taylor throws a left and overhand right, connecting! 1:22, Taylor and Bernard clinch and punch but Taylor is taking the worst of it. :22 Bernard connects with a hard right counter. Taylor throws some horrific shots but Hopkins leans back with it - IT LOOKS AS IF HE CONNECTED BUT THEY DID NOT! Taylor IMO takes that yet Lederman gives it to Bernard.
Round 10, 2:42, while Lederman is giving his scores, Taylor takes a hard left hand and takes another 1-2 from Hopkins before he's tied up. 1:56 Taylor eats a big right and gets tied up. Taylor is getting pushed and hit and pushed and hit. 1:15 Taylor throws an overhand right and lands on his knees as he misses. :58 left and Taylor gets clocked by a right! Taylor holds on and as they break, Taylor's eyes look a bit glassy. :41 ANOTHER right lead connects by Hopkins! Near the end Taylor connects with his own big right but Hopkins was leaning back and took it well. Bernard.
11th round was a beat down. Taylor looks tired. Looks punch drunk. He's slow to react. Taylor is still throwing combos but is gettig walloped. :40 Taylor connects with a beautiful left right as Bernard is just not throwing! But Bernard HURTS TAYLOR with :30 left! But with :20 left, Bernard does nothing as Taylor is on the defensive! LET IT GO HOPKINS!
12th round : Lots of posing. Taylor misses with a right and Lampley calls it a connect! Even says it's the best right hand of the night. No, Bernard deflected it with his shoulder. 2:05 and Hopking knocks the vaseline off of Taylors head! Crowd roars! 1:45, Taylor stays in teh corner and eats a right punch! How they scored this for Taylor, I DO NOT KNOW. Taylor retaliates with a big right but not sure if he connects as Bernard's back is to the camera and he rolls his torso back with the punch. 1:30 and 1:25 Bernard throw two hard rights and both connect. 1:03 and Taylor takes BIG right hand from Hopkins and another at :59 left! They bounce into the ropes! Lampley says Taylor is wobbly now! Hopkins stands too long and the don't exchange until :05 left. Neither really connects clearly.
I have Hopkins winning. This is my opinion. Don't hate.Comment

You and snoop are entitled to your opinions, but I have to say that it seems to me that you either don't know much about how fights are scored or you are a just another Hopkins nuthugger.Originally posted by glarrabee
Either way there is no way any reasonable person has the fight even after 8 rounds.Comment

I still have not seen it, but since Taylor didn't tear the kings heart out and stomp on it I am not impressed.Comment

I'm not exactlty Hopkin's biggest fan. But anyway, I did initially score the fight for Taylor. However, with the benefit of instant replay, I have to change my opinion on the outcome of the fight. Also, I can not blame the 2 judges' scoring the fight for Taylor, as Hopkins wasn't aggressive enough, despite his accuracy and effectiveness.Originally posted by SantinoComment
