See Harold Lederman's card because for the first time in his life, he was completely spot on in a difficult fight to score

Lederman had a decent scorecard for once, I do agree with you. He actually scored it similar to me, except I had Hopkins winning 1 more and a draw 1 round. And I like that you said, "difficult fight to score" because I agree with you.

Don't score rounds even and you won't have that problem, chump. Even rounds are for wusses. Every round has a winner. If you can't figure out who it was, then stop trying to be a judge.

Round 4 was the biggset example of an even round in my eyes. I seldomly give them out, and I honestly could not award either fight a decision in that round. Neither did anything to prove they wanted it more than the other.

It was not a close fight, Taylor clearly won more rounds.

Parodius this was a close fight. No matter what you want to believe it was close. No one fighter dominated the other. If it wasn't for an idiot judge giving round 12 to Taylor it would have been a draw. Yes in boxing that's a close fight.

That would be a correct statement

If it wasn't for the idiot judge Jerry Roth this fight would've been a UD decision for Taylor. Roth had Hokins winning 116-112. 7 rounds to 3 is not close in my eyes.

We'll just have to agree to disagree then. I can't wait for the rematch though. It's great when a fight has this much debate on the first match. These are the rematches that are golden. Just like the Corrales/Castillo fight.

excellent point about Roth. WHAT THE F*** kinda scorecards was that?! Isn't he the one that had Mayorga beating Forrest like 116-112? Complete idiot. Jerry Roth is also the guy I believe that gave De La Hoya the 12th round in the Trinidad fight because he had given Trinidad so many earlier rounds he didn't deserve. this guy is horrible, I'm telling you.

yes, giving the 12th round to Taylor is ridiculous in this fight, but not nearly as ridiculous as having Hopkins win it 8 rounds to 4!!!!

[Dirt E Gomez]

I wouldn't say so. Hopkins clearly won more rounds than Taylor, while there were a number that could be debated either way. So having it 116-112 for Hopkins isn't unbelievable in that sense. I don't agree with that, but I can see how it's an option.
