    I don't see why everyone was so down on Taylor-Hopkins 2

    I thought it was better than the first fight and a good tactical fight. I understand it wasn't action packed, but sometimes its nice to watch the skill of the sweet science.

    I think it was boring, I don't know why..

    Taylor did a LOT better though.

      I agree. I enjoyed the fight.

        A middleweight fight with the punch output of a Ruiz hugfest. I don't know why people found it so bad either...

          I enjoyed the fight, didn't like the result.

          Obviously, it's not a great fight to rewatch but it was tense at the time.

            Hopkins/Taylor 2

            I just watched the replay, I thought it was a good fight, and I scored it the same as the judges, Taylor by 2 rounds.

              I hadn't seen it before but I was surprised how Taylor looked. I expected him to look a lot more confident. I thought Hopkins counter rights were a big factor int he fight, even though it didn't register with those scoring

                lol, when i was watching it live, i was on the edge of my chair point-blank in front of the tv. i was probably more tense than the two in the ring.

                  I was never down on this fight. I liked it very much. People have been spoiled by castillo/corrales and barrera/morales

                    Zab Super Judah, I know it's a very distant possibility, but can you imagine Solimon fighting at welterweight? It's always possible, he weighed 158 today, guys like Cotto and Margarito have weighed almost 20 more lbs then their opponent.
