      Taylor did NOT dominate all of the early rounds in the first fight. I DID score it by round-by-round basis LIVE and came out with Hopkins winning by more than 1 point. Hopkins did wait alittle to long to get going and had he started earlier it may have been a more clear cut victory but I honestly believe Hopkins won the first fight even scoring by round-by-round basis. Taylor did nothing in the early rounds that really stuck out either. He didn't consistently land any truly punishing blows and the punch count and percentage were roughly the same give or take a few rounds in which went in Taylor's favor.

      Taylor definatly won the second fight though, in my opinion.

        12 round... and i mean badly hurt, taylor was on the verge of being knocked out 3 times in the fight

        hopkins won both of those fights ,

        the 2nd fight was a lil closer, but again taylor was on the verge of being knocked out... and his face was on swole ... taylor won ? bull****

        What ????
        I scored the first fight at BEST should have been a draw but Taylor won the second fight for sure. Taylor controlled most of the fight and BHOP only fought in spurts !

          In a nutshell, NO...I don't agree. I felt Taylor won the first one and the second bout I scored a Draw.

            i dont think Hopkins dominated the first fight or won easily but i have no doubt he won. The second fight was closer and very razor thin and could go either way,but true Taylor may have deserved that one more.

              It was close but I think Hopkins won the first Fight, and Taylor the second fight - IMO.

                Never said he dominated, but he did more then Hopkins, who well...did nothing at all.

                  i think hopkins won the first but lost the second. In that first fight, Taylor did nothing to take the title, especially after such a historic reign by hopkins.

                  But then again, a lot of pressure was placed on the judges. the knew if they gave hopkins the win, people would accuse them of being afraid to end the reign of hopkins and stuff, and they would have had to end an undefeated fighters streak. u know what i mean?

                      I thought Taylor won the first fight 116-112 and Hopkins won the second 115-113
