I only have one question. How long will Taylor hold the titles?
that depends. I can't see anyone currently at the top taking it from him, but I think Ward could in about 3 more fights. If Lacy intends to come down after the Calzaghe fight, it will be an early KO of JT.

Round 11
Hopkins goes on the offensive, pursuing Taylor, landign sporadically. Taylor, however, lands several power shots that back up Hopkins. Taylor establishes command of the round in the second minute. Hopkins likely will need a knowckout at this point, as Taylor has stood his ground in this round. Hopkins connects late in the round, but Taylor responds.
