Title: Bernard Hopkins/Jermain Taylor boxing spoiler
Post by: GmanJoe on July 17, 2005, 12:53:17 PM

I just finished downloading the fight a few hours ago and wow! What an awesome fight! Taylor was younger and more aggressive and Hopkins was waiting to counter! Taylor was winning most of the rounds until late, when the old man Hopkins turned up the heat and hurt Taylor almost at will. Taylor had tremendous heart and would not be taken out.

Jermain Taylor by Split Decision. Hopkins is 40, and ends his championship reign, the longest in the History of Boxing. Over 10 years.

I have actually met Bernard on numerous occassions as he lives in Delaware, and shops at the Tweeter I worked at. He is one smart cookie. Most of the time you think of a boxer as somebody dumb and strong. Bernard is a thinker, and he manages himself.

I think personally, he lost this fight on purpose to get more money out of the rematch.
