Official Poll: Who wins the Hopkins Taylor Rematch?

NOW if you're askin who I WANT to win ....

He won the first one...he will win the rematch also. Seriously ... why do you say that? He won 4 rds. That ain't enough to win a 12 rd fight. You think he should have been awarded the win for fightin 4 rds? C'mon man.

Bump :boxing:

he gonna need a knockdown but its not gonna be possible jermaine is ready!!!! he is going to dominate jermaine will win and he might even knockout bernard in tha late rounds u gonna see hahahaha lol

Bump :boxing:

I'm picking Hopkins by KO. I've previously stated why, BUT on the other hand since this is most likely Hopkins last hurrah I think He will end it in style. He knows He needs a knockout so He will do so.

Bump :boxing:

all hands down i say taylor is gonna win this fight by decision (probaly a KO) in late 11 i will bet my 1000 and only points LMAO lol....... now its hopkins turn to lose twice to tha same opponent jus as jones did.....just watch and see everyone this is exactly whas gonna happen

Bump :boxing:

I bet you a 100 mil Hopkins DOES NOT KO/TKO Taylor regardless of ta outcome. No way in hell brah. Hopkins dont got pop ta way he used to and he jest doesn't HAVE ENOUGH PUNCH OUTPUT to put Taylor away. 100 mil it is.

If Hopkins presses the issue, while Taylor lays back, but doesn't get much done.....what happens then. Those who keep harping on Hopkins just needing to start faster, need to realize there's a reason he waits to get started... He can't fight hard for 12 rds. He is 40 years old. He's in great shape for a 40 year old, but he's still 40. He is a much, much better fighter than Taylor is or will ever be.....but his age is a factor. I'm going with taylor by decision. I hope I'm wrong, however. Anyone who thinks he can come out of the gates and fight like he fought the champ-rounds of the first fight is delusional. He can however pick up the activity level a bit more in the early-middle rounds (ie throwing more than 15 punches a round). I'd like to see Hopkins land a really good punch early on to get Taylor's full attention for the rest of the fight.

I scored the first fight a draw, and could have seen it either way for either guy in all actuality. Theres nothing biased about my post. Biased about James Toney or Pernell Whitaker? Yeah a little...about Hopkins? Not at all... He's a better fighter than Taylor and it will show on Saturday. Also, if I said that I thought Taylor was going to win it I'd be lying. Do I think there is a possibility of Taylor taking a UD? Yes I do, but I think Hops is going to knock him out. I bet you a 100 mil Hopkins DOES NOT KO/TKO Taylor regardless of ta outcome. No way in hell brah. Hopkins dont got pop ta way he used to and he jest doesn't HAVE ENOUGH PUNCH OUTPUT to put Taylor away.

Yeah, Im surprised too. If I were in Taylors corner I would try to rough up Hopkins and if I was in Hopkins corner, Id try to rough up Taylor. PS: Sade is one nice MILK. Taylor doesn't want it with Hopkins on the inside. I was surprised that Taylor wasn't the stronger of the two in the clinch. They were even in strength. Hopkins by decision. I don't think he can quite put away his opponents anymore but he will definitely put some hurt on Taylor.

Hopkins TKO10 Taylor. Why you ask is he going to knock Taylor out in the 10th? Because he's just as hungry or MORE hungry than Taylor for this fight, he knows that he has to get off earlier in this fight, and he has nothing to lose now. Taylor landed 0 significant punches in the first fight and there is very little reason to believe that he'll land many more than a few in this one. Hopkins is going to find the mark with his right hand earlier and more frequently as the fight wears on. I see a savage counter right hand hurting Taylor bad in the 9th and then Hopkins smells blood in the 10th and puts him away. 3 paragraphs of biased.

I'm shocked at the 70-41 vote here...seems like there are a lot more Taylor guys on this board than Hopkins guys. Maybe everyone is gaining a little sense. :D

I'm getting the sneaking suspicion that we might see a Roy Jones in Tarver-Jones III style performance out of Bernard. You know, fighting for pride, not necessarily to win. The setup for this fight is almost exactly the same. Bernard is talking tough like Roy did but seeing as he is saying that this is his last "real" fight will he put his money where his mouth is? I don't know. So Taylor UD in a drearier than expected fight.
