Hopkins Taylor Punch Stats

jesus ****ing christ how many times is hopkins going to get ****ing jobbed on a decision?

i had the first fight a draw, but i had this fight 115-113 for hopkins clearly.

even the 4 girls and 5 other guys in the room with me at the time thought "the 40 year old michael strahan" won.

landed better shots and more often down the stretch sans 11th round

They both stunned each other a couple times. I KNEW what hopkins would do this fight...I knew he would throw more punches for a couple round then go into his passive self and throw 25 to 30 punches a round. When you say he landed more...6 punches...it's not like its overwhelming.

There were no significant stunns at all.

You said Hopkins was passive, and you are wrong.

Taylor was, and he looked lost and aprehensive through the last 6 rounds. This was reflected in him throwing and landing less.

Add to that that he rarely landed flush, and it illustrates how good Hopkins' defense was.

This fight was a lot like the 1st fight with Hopkins not getting shut out of the 1st half, and with Taylor winning the 11th with a second win.

I thought that Taylor landed more of harder and crisper shots.

His jab should be counted as a power punch.

I should say though that I liked Bernard too in this fight, and thought that the fight was a tie.

Headbutts in close.

The hardest couple of shots in the fight might have belonged to Hopkins, but he landed them with much less consistency than Taylor did, plus he never stopped or wobbled Taylor. Taylor even stopped him dead in his tracks with a jab.

None of that has ANTYING to do with scoring.

Taylor did NOT land more consistantly than Hopkins. He was out thown and out landed through the majority of the fight, and the storng majority of what he did land was not flush or right on target.

I never said they were significant but both fighters stunned each other a couple times. If Hopkins wasn't passive then why didn't he AT LEAST get a better decision from the judges. You can cry all you want, the fact is most people thought Taylor won and he deserved it more this time then the last fight. It's not like Hopkins really dominated more then 1 round anyway.

Ive had enough of Lampley. Everytime Taylor threw a punch, it was "A HUGE shot by Taylor!!", but he never actually landed clean. I know this doesnt have an effect on how the fight was scored, it just made it tough to watch the fight with the volume on. If you went by what was said by Lampley, youd think Taylor outlanded Hopkins 4 to 1.

Wow stop with the "Hopkins fans are crying" bit. It's called a difference in opinion douchebag.

He landed 4 or 5 jabs a round at most.

For all of HBO's talk of how much more he was landing the jab (which was BS) they conveniently left out the jab stats, which are ALWAYS with those two pics I posted in the 1st post of this thread.

Hopkins took the majority of Taylor's jabs again.

I thought Hopkins had him pretty good on several occassions, especially in the 11th round. Taylor pretty much held his way through that entire round, because he was gassed and Hopkins was putting it to him. I think Taylor just looked flashier in the ring, and that's why he got the nod. Hopkins was the better fighter, in every way tonight. At least in the first fight the argument could be made that Taylor won 7 of the first 8 rounds, just by being aggressive. In this fight, Taylor did not have the aggressive advantage at all. Hopkins outboxed him the whole way through. I'm disappointed in the decision.
