    Hopkins comes in throws the big X sign, does the throat slashing thing and then looses the first 8 rounds.
    The first few rounds neither did **** and could have gone either way hopkins cleary dominated rounds 9-12 and would have TKOed him had there been a 13 go to page 29 in the newest Ring Mag and only 2 out of like 12 prominet boxing writers and observers from all major boxing mags and channels had Hokins winning too , either way I have argued with other people about this as have many on this site we will just wait and see what happens in DEC but do check out the article in Ring "Taylor is middleweight champ,but is he the best middleweight".

      but dude again, the first 8 rounds taylor did a little bit more than what hopkins was doing he was winning rounds, on all the commentators and harold ledderman's card even if by very little, hopkins wasn't even throwinga nething.
      Sadly the fight game is only 12 round max, and hopkins knows that quite well, he started too late, yes he did more damage in the last 4 rounds than taylor did the entire fight but he still loses the fight because taylor had more rounds.
      the punch stats show hopkins landing 10 more punches than taylor, if this was an amateur bout hopkins would have won. you cant give him the fight based on the current scoring system of pro boxing

          Roy Jones on FN2004 and now it happened
          to Hopkins. The curse is real. If I was
          a fighter I wouldnt go on EA sports game
          covers. Hell no
          man shut the hell up..i said taylor would beat hopkins a year ago..hes faster bigger and stronger..unlike the blown up welterweights hes famous for beating

            Wrong!! FNR2 was released on March 1, 2005. Hopkins fought Eastman on Feb 19th, 2005.

                This argument has already been had like right after they fought, seriously guys, let it go. Jermain is champ and there is nothing anyone is going to do about it. Bernard will take the belts back in December. Just wait.

                    well the fight was a draw
                    so he really didnt beat him.
                    my point is that the curse
                    made him lose on the score cards
                    and had his belts taken away. all
                    because of the curse.
