yankeeman161 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Hey all, last night in Vegas, the longest reigning champion in boxing was dethroned in upsetting fashion. After 10 years and 20 successful title defenses, 40 year old Undisputed Middleweight Champion Bernard Hopkins was defeated by 26 year old Jermain Taylor by split decision. Hopkins' downfall was that he fought slowly and did'nt pick up rounds untill towards the end of the fight while Taylor fought through a deep gash in his head. This was B-Hop's first loss since 1993 at the hands of the incomparable Roy Jones. So, the question is: Will there be a rematch and will you want to see it? THE TOUGHEST S.O.B.
