I'm gonna root for Hopkins, but I think tarver will win.
What are your thought?
Edit: I screwed up the poll.. The 4th option should be:
I will root for Tarver but I think Hopkins will win
.....
the reason I think Tarver will win is because he's got most of the advantages (age, height, reach, power,...)
Most of Hopkins' career he used to dominating much naturally smaller guys.. this will be his first fight he is fighting someone of Tarver's size and caliber...
Hopkins' only advantage is that Tarver is coming off a HW to LHW and we all saw what happened to RJJ. Tarver is the RJJ in the Hopkins fight.
Not sure the 41 year old Hopkins can pull it off... very unlikely. But I would still want him to win
It will probably be close, I expect Tarver to pull it out, but I'd like to see Hopkins end on a high note with a good win. I just hope they don't have twelve rounds of "Feeling each other out".
I HATE Tarver, but I still think Hopkins will pull off the win..I wont be surprised, if it's otherwise..I think Tarver is one of the most hated boxers in the game other then that bullshit of a weight evader of a fighter..
I think the first few rounds will be boring because Tarver is not a fast out of the gates stater either. BUt as I say taht becaseu Hopkins is a much smaller dude, I can see tarver trying to test him with a lot of punches early.
