Has Hopkins Had It?

Okay, so the executioner has lost his axe. Once again, Taylor was just a little too quick early, obviously undaunted in the face of a legend and this time managed to hang in there for the later rounds – you couldn’t really dispute the result could you? Yes, it was a close fight but Taylor did enough to hang on to his title. Where now for Hopkins? Does he try again or does he get out? My bet is that maybe Jones and Hopkins will face each other – that way at least one of them can retire on a victory!
A quick mention of the commentary too – what has happened to the colonel? Sure he’s always been a tad pompous, a tad know-it-all, friends to everyone etc etc but he wasn’t watching the same fight that I was on the weekend. Hell, he practically had Taylor boxing a shut out! Huh? Maybe that heartattack cut off too much oxygen to the brain.
