I didn't see the fight, so I can't really comment about what happened. It appears that Hopkins tried to make Taylor expend his energy, and waited too late to mount his offense. Costly mistake, still Hopkins' 10 year-20 title defense record will stand for some time. Congrats to the new champ, Jermaine Taylor. I might have been wrong about the outcome, but I like Taylor...so I ain't mad!
CONGRATULATIONSSSSSSSS TO TAYLOR.
However, I think it should have been a draw. A judge actually gave Taylor the 12th round. smh Hopkins did wait too long to bring it to Taylor. Hell, he could have knocked Taylor out twice and he's not a knockout artist.
It was a fight of the minds. Who can out think the other. It was a good fight.
I pick Hopkins in the rematch.
