When I watched this fight a few days ago, it was the first time I had seen it since I watched it live on PPV. My memory of the fight was always that Hopkins dominated the last 4 rounds, and that Taylor was really just trying to hang on and make it to the finish line.
I was surprised when I watched it again, that Hopkins only really dominated the 10th and 11th. I thought he won the 9th and 12th as well, but not by that large a margin.
