What this fight proved was Hopkins had the beating of Taylor who tired badly late on , but didnt get work early enough .Taylor was fired up at the start and wouldnt let B-hop get away with anything . A right hand that brushed over the top of Nards head causing him to lose his balance could have been a knockdown if the ropes werent there . Around the 9th round Bernard started to realise his right hand was working for him . Taylor would normally answer every advance with a flurry of his own but late on he was very disorganised and uncomfortable . Nard really owned him towards the end and I felt got the better of him but on my scorecard Taylor deserved the nod .
Can't remember my exact RBR card, but pretty sure it is the same as yours - The fight was there for Hopkins to win and the rounds he did win, he won clearly, but the nature of the scoring system still allowed Taylor to steal rounds and win more rounds.
