Did everyone agree that Taylor won?

Apologies if this has been done before, but I've gone back ten pages to find any Hopkins-Taylor II threads and they're all getting pushed back by Nigel Benn/Eubank spam.

So what was the general verdict on the fight? I thought it was pretty dull after it all, and that Hopkins basically gave the fight to Taylor as an early Christmas present. I only actually gave him four rounds this time, whereas I thought he won the first and had the decision taken against him. (I won't say "robbed" as it was too close).


But... what say YOU?

Taylor definatly won, no contest on that. Anyone that says otherwise is just angry about Hopkins being beaten.

I think both fights easily could have been a draw but Taylor won this fight alot more than he won the last one if that makes sense.

I scored it a draw,but it could have went either way 115-113.

[!!! Beowulf !!!]

I gave Hopkins 7 rounds. 2 of which could well have gone either way. 7,8,9,10 and 12 were definately won by Hopkins and 2,3,4 and 11 were definately won by Taylor, 1,5 and 6 were all pick 'ems really. No complaints with the decision.

First time I watched it I scored it a Draw, and beyond that I've scored it 115-113 for Hopkins. Since the first time I saw it would have been if I judged it, I'll vote draw.

The problem with that type of fight is that when the boxers are doing so little in terms of actual punch output someone can nick a round with just an extra jab or two.
