Tito Vs. Hopkins Rematch...official???

anybody who looks at the mayorga fight and judges from that that tito will beat hopkins is an idiot, tito pummeled a guy who stood right in front of him, trust me b hop is an all time fighter, old school discipline, he will beat tito again, he has too many intangibles Ditto to the above. Tito is a great fighter, but Hopkins has his number. I would have given Tito a better shot if he looked good against Mayorga, but the truth is....he didn't. No way does a guy who is used to fighting at 160lbs gain credibility for beating a guy who dosen't train proper, is smaller, and dosen't move well. Even if it is after a 2 year lay off. Tito should have ended that fight earlier, and not got hit soo much. Tito has to be better than he was before to beat Hopkins......he isn't. Tito was nearly shut-out in their first fight. Don't expect Hopkins to show much age.....even if he does, it won't be enough for Tito to capitalize on.

Mayorga scored a knock down on tito, and mayorga IMO had no power in 160, he was swinging wildly like a girl(no joke) i believe that titos chin wasnt tested in that fight i had Hopkins up by 2 points against dlh and if dlh would of gotten up and continue it would of been 4 points cuz of a knockdown, the reason dlh did better than tito in winning rounds was because of his hand speed and his upper body movement, tito doesnt have that. Hopkins by an easy UD over tito Mayorga's KD of Tito was nothing else than Tito off balance and barely touched his glove on the canvas. As for Hop being up by two points on DLH, I had it the other way, DLH up by one point before the stoppage. I'm by nobody's definition an Oscar fan (more like an Oscar hater) but I think I scored that fight fairly and unbiasedly. Hop is getting old and Sturm might show us something with that jab of his.

No he dont. I dont give anyone 168 or under a chance to beat Hopkins. Thats not a knock on Sturm cause he's a good fighter, but Hopkins is a special fighter. roy jones was special 18 months ago..look at him now. and b-hops 3-4yrs older than jones at least. he may just age against sturm but still win only to face tito and get his ass totally whupped :D

Yes he does. btw does anyone gives Sturm a chance against Nard? No he dont. I dont give anyone 168 or under a chance to beat Hopkins. Thats not a knock on Sturm cause he's a good fighter, but Hopkins is a special fighter.

Yes he does. btw does anyone gives Sturm a chance against Nard? i wish id seen sturm before but i aint.. i hope sturm loses if he fights hopkins.. cant have anyone gettin to b-hop before Felix "Tito" Trinidad

Don't know if this has been posted or not (so don't kill me but I found this recent article on 15rounds.com Hopkins to Sign Two-Fight Deal Luis Enrique Marc Abrams contributed to this Report. According to Middleweight king Bernard Hopkins, he will be in New York on Wednesday to meet with HBO Executives, where they will announce his plans for a two-fight deal. "I will be in New York tomorrow to sign a two-fight deal — the final two fights of my career — with HBO." Hopkins said on the Angelo Caltidi Show (a local cable show in Philadelphia), "The first fight will be in January against Felix Sturm, and the second will be pay-per-view against Felix Trinidad in June." Hopkins is coming of an impressive knock-out victory over The "Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya (37-4-0, 29 KO's), last month in Las Vegas. Many believe, Felix Sturm — the man he is slated to fight in Janurary — beat De La Hoya in June of this year, when the two met on the middleweight twin-bill that feature both Oscar, and Bernard Hopkins. The majority of boxing fans were unfamiliar with Sturm, who was undefeated at the time, but with no experience outside of Europe. The German-born fighter would lose a contraversial decision, but would walk away with the respect of the boxing-public, including De La Hoya's. Assuming Hopkins gets past Sturm, then the pride of Philadelphia will face Felix "Tito" Trinidad (42-1, 35 KO's), in June of 2005, in what will be undoubtedly the most anticipated rematch of the year. In September of 2001, Bernard The "Executioner" Hopkins, became a household name overnight, when he handed Trinidad his first legitimate defeat — stopping him in the 12th round — in New York's Madison Square Garden. They just anounced that Sturm was gonna fight in December so I dount he will be fighting in January. Tito dont want it with Hopkins

i think hopkins will get knocked silly and then either the towel will come in or the ref will stop it...well im hoping anyway could be roy jones jr all over again. it will be funny if he doesnt make his 20 defence lol

This rematch does have to happen. I think Tito lasts to the end this time. Hopkins still boxes his ass off and wins a decision.

wat there is no way in hell tito can beat hopkins it will end up same as tha 1st one

What? Hopkins is getting old and DLH was winning that fight until he got KTFO. If DLH can fight B-Hop that way then Tito CERTAINLY can as well. I think Hop is getting old and will show it soon enough. Oscar is faster than Tito, and better, whether you believe it or not. I love Tito, and that's why i hope he stays the fuck away from Hopkins.

you got it...Pac will close the deal in the first round in a rematch with barrera!!!

you had DLH-Tito a draw? wow no wonder you think he can beat Hopkins Are you kidding me? Any unbiased boxing person would tell you it was a draw with Tito winning the last four rounds. I am a huge Tito fan but I'm not blind to the facts, either. Also, many, many people had it a draw, including HBO's (The official DLH dck riddahs) unoficial card. I think hopkins will beat trinidad for the simple fact that Hopkins took Trinidad's heart during their first fight. Trinidad looked weak when he came back against Cherifi and he did beat the sh*t out of maryorga, but mayorga lacks skills and focus. Like someone mentioned earlier we will see what's up with Trinidad after the Spinks fight although I am sure he will knock spinks out. I think that fight we be similiar to freitas/casamayor Hopkins/Trinidad II I 'm betting my money on hopkins by split decision... By that reasoning then you would pick Pac over MAB in a rematch? I don't think so, I'd pick MAB and Tito, sorry.

I know several people who know alot about boxing who thought the fight was a draw. I had Oscar winning close.

I had it a draw. Regardless of their past fight, DLH stood in front of B-Hop most of the fight and didn't dance around like when he fought Tito. Bernard was easy for DLH to find but his punches weren't hurting him, something that will be very different when he gets hit by Tito. you had DLH-Tito a draw? wow no wonder you think he can beat Hopkins

sorry, but DLH won the fight againt Tito. It pains me to say it, but it's true. Plus, DLH has always moved better in the ring than Tito, which is a key to fighting Hopkins. I had it a draw.

Bernard was easy for DLH to find but his punches weren't hurting him, something that will be very different when he gets hit by Tito.

This will be a awesome fight if it happens again and this time i think it will be different. Alot has changed since then and Tito's body seems to have settled into his newer bigger shape well. Besides, Bernard cannot stay prime forever and the longer he keeps fighting the more at risk he is of getting beat. I'm not saying Bernard will win but i think Tito will have learned from the mistakes he made in the first fight. If anyone can give Bernard a hard time then it's Titoin my opinion.

with tito fighting welterwieghts..i think hopkins will ko him earlier then last time..but i hope tito gets on his game plan and gets threw nard
