about one hour to go til Taylor Hopkins fight!
I'm picking Taylor to win FINALLY.
I couldn't make my decision until tonight.
But I say, Taylor wins the fight more convincingly than the first fight.
I could be wrong, but I don't think Taylor has the conditioning to put more pressure on B-Hop than he did last time for any length of time. I hope he tries to though, because last time B-Hop wasn't even breathing hard in the 12th round, I know he'll KO Taylor if he tries that. If not, I think by the 4th or 5th round B-Hop steps it up and takes the belts from an exhausted Taylor by decision.

Paraphrasing Robin Williams:
Wine gets better with age, cheese gets better with age, boxers are not wine or cheese.
Tell that to Hopkins , the man is a freak of nature !
Hopkins by TKO in 11. Taylor didn't learn as much as he thinks he learned. B-Hops FORGOTTEN more about boxing than Jermain will learn in the next five years, let alone 1 fight. First fight was about a bachlor's degree, this one's for a Master's and Phd combined! And with a B-Hop TKO, no need for III. Let Jermain & Winky fight for Middleweight, while Nard takes on Tarver at Lt Hvy. All this Tarver/Tyson talk is just hype to keep Tarver's name before the public while he's in Hollywood, and setting the stage for Nard's doin what Sugar Ray couldn't.
Damn, I'm wired! LOL!
damn, no Hopkins haters/Taylor fans yet?
Shit, au contraire mon ami ... I love that wily old bastard but it's hard to pick him to win based on LOVE. Fuck that. On his performances and his last few he looked fairly shyte-t. He didn't fight for 8 of the 12 rounds and I don't think any vet would willingly CHOOSE that. He's lost something ... stamina, confidence, heart ... whatever. Somehting's not right.
I'm pickin Taylor this time.
But pulling for Hopkins ... ALL THE WAY!!! :boxing: *please God; fitty bux ... make those muhfukkas fight goddamnit!!!*
that shyt kills boxing. LOL!, I hope Taylor jest KOes Hopkins so no trilogies.
it waste time fo BETTA matchups like Winky vs JErmain. LOL
this is the 3rd post that you've made that ive agreed with today.

I picked Taylor to win the first one, but I'm going to have to go with Hopkins on this one. Expect more headbutts, fight delaying tactics, and 10 seconds in each round will steal the round from Hopkins, and he will pull off a close victory and then cry in the middle of the ring like a baby.
Hopkins last KO wins was gainst Trnidad. It took him 12 rounds to get rid of Trinidad who had weak chin anyways. He was hittin Tito wit alot of shots too. That proves Hop really don't have that punch to KO anybody.
his otha one was when he "KOed" de lahoya. That was a Holywood performance by de lahoya. It should win an "Oscar" in Holywood. LOL!!! That shyt was silly and fake.
conclusion? Hop aint KOing Taylor!
i also didnt believe oscar was truely hurt in that fight and thought that he just wanted to collect his purse and call it a day.
as for hop KOing taylor, i kinda doubt it, but i wont say it wont happen.

i know he wont knock him out with 1 punch, but he will knock him out with his continues punishment ( if he doesnt take the 1st 3 quarters of the fight off again) as soon as B-HOP actually started lettin his gloves go taylor looked VERY ordinary.
taylor didnt show anyone he could take anything hopkins was throwin at him, cause hopkins only started trowin hard punches in the last 3 rounds! if he comes out from round 1 this time taylor will get ktfo!
there are too many times where a fighter who got lucky in the 1st fight gets his in the 2nd fight.
taylor is no exception. his luck is about to run out.
I think Taylor will knock Hopkins out.
Shut his big-ass mouth once and for all.
...I hope that's exactly what happens. Besides, how long do we have to look at B-Hops ugly fuckin face? Enough is enough already.
