One of the judges scored the 12th round for Taylor, which otherwise would have made the fight a draw, and Hopkins would have kept his belts

B-Hop lost because he started slow. The last 4-5 rounds of the fight he was hurting Taylor, but Taylor had already put up too big of a lead. This one SCREAMS rematch.
The rematch for this fight has been tentavily scheduled for October 1st. There was a rematch clause in the contract if Taylor was to win. The rematch imo is going to be better than the first fight because both camps will make their adjustments and one of the fighters will be exposed. Once there is a solid date for the rematch i will be making my flight reservations for that weekend in vegas and most probably be watching the fight live.
The rematch is probably going to be in November or December now. Taylor's cut needed 15 stitches to close the cut on his head and he suffered a concussion from the beating Hopkins gave him. He's biding his time until he loses the belts.
