Originally posted by amarui had it a draw, it was there for taylor to win but also hopkins didnt do enough to win the fight also, you cant fight from rounds 10-12 and expect to win a fight and thats what hopkins did.
taylor. i was hoping to see taylor win, but not the way he did.
that last judge, paul smith, gave round 12 to taylor. had he not done so, it would have been a draw and imo, the right decision.
even roy looked a little pissed that it wasn't a draw.
hopkins definitely started too late but taylor was out of gas from rounds 9 - 12, and hopkins began to counter effectively and i counted at least 2 times taylor was stunned.
i got the feeling that if it was a 15 round fight, taylor woulda been ko'd mainly cuz he ran out of gas.
i think it shoulda been a draw. a guy with 20 title defenses shouldn't lose like that. effectively aggresiveness is one thing, but ****, taylor wasn't really landing anything clean.
hopkins got smarter as the fight went on.
you can see taylor was game and was throwin nice shots
in the beginning, but he looked like he had no real plan.
hopkins was countering and dictating late in the fight.
the experience really showed last night.
when it was all over, i thought it was a draw, and hopefully a clear victor would emerge in the rematch.
i wanted taylor but was not happy with last night's decision.
if you have hbo on demand, it will be on demand later this week,
so, i think as people watch the fight a few more times, they'll see that hopkins began pulling away maybe too late, but still, it should have been a draw.

I had Taylor by a round maybe 2, it was a very close fight, some people will just remember the last few rounds when taylor was ready to be KO'd.
I'm still not overly impressed by taylor it seemed to me more like Hopkins letting the fight be stolen from him early on rather than him getting an ass kicking.
I'll look forward to the re-match

I think, certainly, if Hopkins has anyone to blame it's himself. I thought he won, but he has only himself to blame.
