To those who have seen both Hopkins-Taylor fights, please vote and comment...

1-1

 

I got Hopkins in Both Fights... Yuo see the Decision Valuev got against HLoyfield. HE got the "champion"s benefit of doubt" How can anyone Say JT took those titles from the 10 yr reigning champion that night when he was the one hurt badly & lost the second half of the fight. That wasn't even close. The burden of proff is always on the challenger to take the champion's title. not the other way around. Especially one who's reign was so long & dominant. Look at Ademak vs cunningham. 3 knockdowns is how u take a title. & the fight was still close despite that. I have B-hop in both fights.

easy

 

1 a piece.

 

I dont keep all my cards. I scored both fights for Taylor by a thin decision. The first fight actually wasnt debateable. If you cannot score that fight for taylor, well you shiouldnt be scoring fights. Hop was pathetic, horrific, boring and not even throwing punches for the first 6 rounds. The rematch wasnt much different.

Hop let himself down in those fights by not working, if you dont work you cant win fights. The sad thing is Hop wasnt tired, he wasnt working, he has no one to blame for these losses but himself.

 

Hopkins lost the rematch because he clinches like a little *****. He was clearly afraid of Taylor's power both times.

 

The champion can't just set the cruise control and expect to win fights, it just doesn't work that way. Especially not when you give away entire chunks of rounds expecting to show up at the end of the fight and look good by beating up on a tired guy, unless you can knock him TFO.

 

Taylor won both fights ... Hopkins came on strong in the last 3 or 4 rounds but that doesn't take away from the other 8 or 9 rounds before.

 

First was a draw, Hopkins won the second. Oh yeah, and he beat Calzaghe.

 

i had it 7-5 both fights for Hopkins but im ok with it going to taylor

 

i am just watching both fights back to back, frame by frame to anylyse and count each punch .

26 cups of coffee /19 prozac/15 uppers/12 speed/3 andrenaline injections and i am through the first 2 rounds not having fallen asleep

so far i have it 0-0.

only another 22 rounds to go or death by overdose , whatever comes first.

police in south wales are looking into the fact that a hopkins v taylor part 1 and 2 dvd that has been circulating has any link between the recent spate of suicides, that has happened in the area.

 

I had both 115-113 for Taylor.

Lots of close rounds.

I could live with any result from 113 to 115 for either guy, either fight.

One thing is absolutely certain. There was no robbery here.

A robbery occurs when a CLEAR winner is deprived of victory.

If Hopkins had been awarded both fights by 115-113, that would have been within acceptable limits and would not have been a robbery either.


As it was, he just didn't do enough to get my nod.

 

still got my scorecard from the first but scored the second 114-114
