    I thought it was BS.

    I had it for Hopkins by the same score, but found it easier to score than the last.

    HBO was just awful. Lampley was screaming constantly about "flush" shots that landed on the gloves or glanced. Lampley also kept mentioning how Taylor was working his jab in this fight unlike the last one and he clearly wasn't. He averaged 4 jabs landed a round throught the first half of the fight.

    He looked lost and aprehensive for the most part, and Hopkins defense was taking away flush shots.

    I think I could have counted the shots he landed "flush" on two hands.

    Hopkins outfoxed him, and landed the sharper shots.

    Poor decision imo.

      Taylor clearly won a UD in my opinion. It started getting close at some points, but he still won it with a UD.

              Both fighters fought an over-cautious fight. I think Hopkins landed the better, harder punches but Taylor was more aggressive and controlled the pace. I hope Taylor doesn't EVER fight Winky. What a borefest...

                I had it 114-114. I'm always over critical of the fighter I'm rooting for, so there's good odds I gave a round or two to Taylor where if I was impartial it would've gone to Hopkins.

                  Did you even see the fight Junior? Yes or no.

                  Because trolling in when you didn't see the fight is a joke.

                  But that's nothing new coming from you. Immaturity at it's best.

                    I didn't see it, but from what I am hearing it sounds like another debatable decision.
