I didn't seen Hopkins winning the fight as he landed so few punches in the early rounds. Even in the later rounds when he nailed Taylor a couple of times, he waisted time and pranced rather than go after Taylor. I like what he did in the last two rounds and if it went 15 rounds I think Hopkins would have had Taylor on the canvas. I thought his corner was way too passive. They should have said: Bernie, you have to start throwing some punches as unless you knock out this young whipper-snapper, your going to lose your title which he did. His interview at the end of the fight was full of denial. Probably pumping up the rematch.

Good points. I'm glad I picked Taylor to win for the reasons that I did, but truth be told...I expected Hopkins to take it by mixed decision due to his overwhelming domination of the final quarter of the fight.

Not sure who I'd pick in the rematch -
