    I wonder how many people here in America would've cried robbery if this fight would've gone the distance....... I'm sure the threads of it would be endless.... Thank God Arthur took care of that, for sure a lot of ppl in here had Taylor winning by a landslide...:patsch ..thoughts??

    I think you're probably right.

    Although I thought it was a simple fight to score, and Abraham was clearly winning on the cards.

    I'm not american. I had Taylor up by a comfortable margin going into that 12th round. I understand I am among a minority here who saw it like that, but I'm not the only one. I will watch the fight again, but I'm pretty sure my scoring wasn't that far off. AA wasn't as accurate as people here claim. Most of Taylors offense landed on AAs guard, but he was far more active and still landed enough to win most rounds.

    I'm glad the KO happened. There is no controversity now. And actually I like Abraham. I even rooted for him.

    I thought Arthur was too small for Taylor. I was wrong.

    Froch needs to go. Dirrell did an excellent job moving and boxing last night and he got robbed.

    People who got Taylor ahead should really think, if boxing is the right sport for them.

    From round 5 on Taylor didn´t win a single round.

    Had it 106-102 Abraham after 11.

    Somehow - I don't know how - some people on this forum seem to be inferring that Taylor was robbed anyway. What a bunch of ****ing monkeys.

    I had Abraham up by a couple.

    I'm American, rooted for Taylor, and had Abraham up clearly and Taylor needing a knockout to win after the 9th round. Not everyone judges scorecards based on nationality.

    Abraham was well ahead. Makes it all the sadder what happened to Taylor.

    I think I gave JT the 1st 4 or first 5 rounds but he got beat down from that point on he was down by a few points.
