Tell me one single round which Hopkins CLEARLY won in the Cloud fight.

I don't think Hopkins won any dominantly clear rounds. They were all close.

how can "all rounds of a fight be close" and at the same time one fighter is totally dominating and destroying the other fighter? Because that is what quite some people here told me yesterday.

I scored Hopkins vs Tavoris Cloud a draw and some people told me Hopkins "totally dominated and destroyed" Cloud. Which is completely ridiculous.
And now I want to know: if a fighter destroys another fighter and dominates him with ease, then I am sure there must be a lot of ROUNDS which he dominated, right?
I mean, there must be quite some rounds in which Hopkins was beating Cloud all over the ring, Cloud hanging on for dear life, right?
So here is what I say to those who say Hopkins totally dominated the fight: TELL ME WHICH ROUND OF THE WHOLE FIGHT DID HOPKINS WIN MOST CLEARLY? WHICH ROUND IS IT THAT HOPKINS DOMINATED THE MOST?

Because I would like to know that, because in my opinion out of all the 12 rounds there is NOT A SINGLE ROUND which Hopkins "clearly dominated".
And then I am asking myself - if a fighter doesn't even win one single round in dominant fashion, then how the heck did he "dominate" the whole fight??

So just post that one round which Hopkins dominated the most.

Watch it with headphones in your ears and you will hear that the majority of clean and effective shots were landed by Hopkins. it amplifies punches landed so that watching a fight on mute is about as dumb as letting a deaf guy judge a fight I only gave rds 2 and 5 to Cloud. you need to look at ring generalship in this fight. Tavoris Cloud is ******ed when it comes to ring generalship. He is only good when his feet are set and Bhop made him move all night. he took him to school.

118-110 Hopkins

Where is your round? I wanna know which Round it is in which Hopkins totally dominated Cloud, destroyed him and "took him to school" (as you said)?

I have a feeling most people didn't watch the fight, and that there's a lot of people probably on this forum who claim they did. I for one didn't catch the fight but the parts I did see, Cloud didn't look as bad as some of the people here made it out to be. Meaning he was in it landing body shots at times.

I remember hearing his trainer saying you caught him with that body shot and it hurt him but that was probably just trying to motivate his fighter tho.

Rd 6 Hopkins made him look like a fool and that is the Rd where he cut him up with a PUNCH everyone could see that.

Rd 11 as well. Cloud did nothing

dude, are you for real? Did you even watch the fight? You want to tell me out of all the 12 rounds, round 6 is the most dominant for Hopkins? I just rewatched that round and it is basically almost totally even. I gave that round to Hopkins and marked it as "very close".
If round 6 is Hopkins' "most dominant round" in your opinion, and you scored it 118:110, then your scorecard is...you know what...

you are high as **** in that last minute of rd 6 where the doctor was looking at his cut cloud was fighting like a desperate man. he didn't hurt hopkins in those last 30 seconds. the majority of that rd was dominated by Hopkins there is no way in hell that is an even rd.

Well you are in a strict minority with that score

I think there were two rounds you could definitely give to Hopkins, and one round you could give to Cloud. The rest were all up to how you score rounds. I can't remember which atm

Tell me one single round which Hopkins CLEARLY won in the Cloud fight.
