The fight was AT WORST, 6-6 for Taylor...most likely 7-5, and could have even been scored 8-4 Taylor. There is no conceivable way that Hopkins won more than 6 rounds.

I personally scored the fight 7-5 for Taylor...giving him rounds 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8.

You people to remember how boxing fights are scored...it's not about who landed more punches, it not about who did more damage...it's about winning rounds. And Taylor clearly won at least 6 rounds, with Hopkins only clearly winning 4 rounds...the remaining 2 (rounds 2 and 7) were close, but Taylor outlanded Hopkins in those rounds and controlled the action.
Hopkins was robbed. I too had it 116-112 for Hopkins. They split the first 8 rounds, then Hopkins dominated.
