Although it pains me to say it, I agree with Roy Jones that the fight should have been a draw. How one judge didn't give the 12th round to Hopkins, I'm not sure. Of course, one could also argue that Hopkins was lucky to have not been deducted at least a point for holding and punching (and possibly that headbutt across Taylor's jaw.) Either way, I would've liked to have seen the belts change hands more convincingly. A rematch is interesting, but at Hopkins' age months start turning into years.
