Hopkins stuns Taylor in rounds 10 & 11

[Bozo_no no]

Did anyone notice the sound of that first punch. That seriously had to be the loudest shot to the head I have ever heard.

It was the best shot of the fight hands down.

had tivo so rewound it and watched it a couple of times...had taylor not been kinda backing up whne it landed he would have went down. i still think he would have gotten up though but that would have totally changed the fight. he seems to have a solid chin ..got hit prety hard a few times and didnt look " too hurt". i also think that single shot was the reason he started looking " gassed". till that point he was alot more active and after that ..hopkins seemed to take control after that

[Recluse]

I don't think Taylor was hurt at all. He simply got hit & then covered up. What makes you think we was hurt? His legs weren't wobbled & he went back to his jab afterwards.

I agree that you Hopkins fans are getting desperate. And if he was hurt, SO WHAT?!?! Hopkins didn't finish him off. The kid hung in there & got the W. Get over it.

[Recluse]

Oh by the way... why hasn't anyone mentioned the judge who scored it 8-4 hopkins. We hear about the judge who scored it for Taylor in the 12th round, but HOW IN THE WORLD COULD HOPKINS HAVE WON 8 ROUNDS?!?!

Maybe he wasn't " hurt" ..but he didnt fight the same way after wards. For whatever reason he just wasn't as agressive after that. Dont get me wrong, I like Taylor alot and think hes good for the sport. I just wanted to see Hopkins go out on a High note and who knows maybe he will still.

taylor shook his head, which was a sign that he was dazed and trying to clear the cobwebs. also, his reaction time was slowed and bernard was able to lead with right hands without missing in the later rounds.

Taylor was definately stunned with those shots. The punch that he landed on the 10th round was pretty loud and it had the crowd going wild, and Jermain was holding for dear life. I think Jermain and his camp knew he didn't really win because after the fight ended and prior to hearing the judges decision, Taylor had a face and body language of a person who was beated, and so was his trainer and the whole camp. I scored it 114-114 though.

I had it a draw as well. THe fighters faces at the end told the story of how they really thought the fight went. Hopkins was smiling with DLH, then he had the most shocked look on his face ive ever seen when the decision was read. On Taylor's side it was the opposite.

not out of the question, i could very well argue that Hopkins won 4 of the first 8 rounds.....and its pretty obvious that he swept the last 4.....hmmmmmm 4+4=8

anybody dat believes taylor wasnt stunned or hurt by those late round punches have very little boxing knowledge....he was hit by a punch and immediately went to the ropes, a sign that most young fighters are hurt...his feet went flat on the ground and his legs squared up...how much more evidence do u need??? a knockdown?
