galleryseek · 07-16-2005, 09:43 PM

It'll be a kickass rematch - since hopkins will reallllly have to put his shit on the line to win.

xxxdesign-net · 07-16-2005, 09:48 PM

Taylor's energy dropped dramatically for the last 4 rounds of the fight.. until then he was simply too good for Hopkins... If Taylor can train and pace himself better for the next fight.. he should beat Hopkins without any problems...

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Jermain Taylor was, indeed, ready for Bernard Hopkins, and he ended Hopkins' record middleweight title winning streak with a split decision Saturday night.

Hopkins had won 20 consecutive defenses, but he started slowly and only got to Taylor late in the fight. By then, the undefeated challenger had built up a big enough lead on two judges' scorecards to take the crown.

Taylor, 26, has won all 24 of his pro fights. It was the first loss for Hopkins, 40, since Roy Jones defeated him 12 years ago.

Judge Jerry Roth scored the fight 116-112 for Hopkins, but judges Duane Ford and Paul Smith both had it 115-113 for Taylor. The AP scored it 114-113 for Hopkins.

Hopkins started very slowly, and the pro-Taylor crowd ate it up. With many in the crowd of 11,992 at the MGM Grand making the trip from Arkansas -- Taylor wore Razorbacks red trunks with Arkansas written across the back -- the fans had lots to cheer about in the first three rounds.

But the chants of ``JT, JT'' stopped in the fourth when the action slowed, and in the fifth Taylor was cut on the top left side of his head by an accidental butt. It bled for much of the remaining rounds and seemed to slow Taylor for a while.

Hopkins never really opened up full-blast until the 10th, when he followed a series of exchanges with a pair of huge rights. Taylor stumbled into the ropes and held on, and Hopkins looked ready to end it.

But he couldn't, even though he was on the attack in the last two rounds. At the end, Hopkins saluted the crowd by standing on top of the ropes as Detroit Pistons forward Rasheed Wallace joined him in his corner.

But, like Wallace's Pistons last month, Hopkins lost his title moments later.

dig420 · 07-16-2005, 09:58 PM

Hopkins landed MORE and harder punches, never got hit cleanly, and had Taylor hurt at least twice.

You don't take the title away from a champion of his stature on a close decision. It's EFFECTIVE aggression, not just aggression that's supposed to be scored. Total bullshit.

Steve · 07-16-2005, 10:02 PM

Hopkins should have kept his belt - fucking politics

69pornlinks · 07-16-2005, 10:23 PM

Alot of certain people really don't like hopkins and i don't mean not like in a tyson way..hopkins is not a fucking dummy and they don't like that

it boils down to politics

Agreed, but Hopkins did nothing at all in the beginning of the fight, if he would have turned it on a round or two earlier, he'd still be champ.

I think Hopkins won if you base the fight on better and harder hits, but Taylor rightfully won the fight based on the points.

Mako · 07-16-2005, 10:49 PM

Agree with everyone really. Hopkins deserved a close decision being a long-reigning champion AND showing more effective aggression the last half of the fight, BUT he also shouldn't have taken the first four rounds totally off. So it's not a large fiasco in my opinion.

Only in Las Vegas! What fight was he watching? 116-112 Hopkins? I had it 116-112 Taylor, and I was giving rounds to Hopkins because I felt bad for him.

You can not give away 8 rounds and expect to win on your good name.

galleryseek · 07-16-2005, 11:23 PM

I personally don't think anything in the past of either fighter should hold any relevance whatsoever when it comes to determining the winner in a decision. The only thing that matters is the current fight itself, not the fact that one of them has been a long reigning champion, else you're cheating the other guy.

I watched it and I honestly think taylor was the better fighter, not by much but he was. He was more active and took initiative the majority of the fight. It was clear to everyone what hopkins was hoping to do with one punch, and it didn't happen.

CybermedAndy · 07-16-2005, 11:32 PM

Shocked there wasn't a bunk decision - saw it going (wrongfully) to Hopkins.

Standing around for 8 rounds won't win you any fights, even if you do come on strong for the last 4.

FelixFlow · 07-16-2005, 11:36 PM

hopkins got robbed!!!!
