I didn't see it, I spoke to my dad this morning - he thought Hopkins should have won a 3 point decision.
I guess for more than half of the fight he thought Hopkins was sweeping, including a 10-8 round - but judges have tendenices to give boring close rounds to the guy who's behind...and that makes the final rounds much more important in the overall scoring.
The Associated Press had the fight 114-113 for Hopkins .. pops seemed to think it was a very straight forward 115-112 for Hopkins...but if you didn't bother scoring round-by-round and just watched the fight you'd think he deserved to lose.
