Bout Summary
A very competitive fight in which the official scorecards did not reflect how close the fight actually was. The majority of the fight was decided on the inside, in which Forbes seemingly controlled a majority of the action with his body punches and sheer aggression. However, Hopkins did a fair job on the outside, and was there the entire night firing back at the smaller Forbes when the fight was in close quarters. This was definitely a fight that could have been scored a draw, or for either fighter, but not by a margin of more than a few points.
