Alright. This is where everyone that talked **** find an excuse

[theironone]

i had it a draw, but a few rounds were hard to score and have no complaints with the result, i had taylor winning the 1st fight by a round.
Same old same old really taylor just did enough, but to me still not particuarly impressive.
Ill be glad to see hop do his 'farewell fight' in jan (which will be a certain win) and retire and look forward to see taylor vs winky

Sorry Blitz, but that's the dumbest comment I've ever read out of a supposed fan's mouth. "judges are not" , what a crock of ****. THere are robberies and bogus matches all the time in boxing and while this wasn't a robbery, it was by no means an easy decision and personal bias can always be claimed in a match such as this.

So you're telling me fans who root for their fighter who have him winning in a close fight are correct over judges who are paid to do so and have been doing it for quite some time? He lost, everyone who is complaining was rooting for Hopkins and had him winning, how ****ing ironic.

I was rooting for Hopkins to win, and called it a draw. But if I had to choose a winner I was leaning towards Hopkins and it has nothing to do with bias. I've scored lots of close fights that have the fighter I'm rooting for losing, this one is not one of those cases. If you don't believe boxing judges can be bias look at the Tyson-Douglas fight for christ sakes. A judge had Tyson winning by 3 points, and that is just off the top of my head.

Bad decisions by judges have occured for many years. Fans influence them and it's not as though it's a court house in there... THese are not sequestered jurors that have no opinions of the fighters before the fight. They've probably all seen the first fight and come in with opinions of their own, and they could very well push their agendas in a close match.

Well guys what will it be this time. The three most hated fighters on this forum are the Klitschko's Calzaghe, and Taylor. And every time that they win, the people that talked for months about them find some excuse for what happened.

Some people even make excuses over 137 days later. So my question is. What is the excuse this time. Let me guess. 3 judges had it wrong this time.


Let the excuses fly

You really shouldn't have typed that, I understand what you're saying. What I'm trying to say is this was not a robbery, professional judges have scored it for Taylor, Hopkins fans for Hopkins and Taylor fans for Taylor. Wouldn't it make sense to really believe Taylor won? I'm a fan of neither and I saw Taylor had it, though not by that much, still no doubt it was his fight.

[DiegoFuego]

My only excuse is Taylor is the better fighter

so do you guys think tyson will ever come back or is he washed up?

[Dirt E Gomez]

1 thing to ***** about is boxing fans on this site at the moment: The same problem last fight has errupted again.

People, in a close fight you have to realize there is a difference of opinion and both sides can clearly be correct. Many have it 115-113 for either fighter or a draw. That means it's a close fight, so learn to live with other's opinions and don't act as thought your opinion of the fight score is law and all other's are simply talking out of their ass.

That doesn't even need to be asked.

[mike61170]
