True! But,Judges have made some bad decisions in the past especially championship fights. Hopkins is just going to have to Knock him out and get over with. Judges are shady and blind...The Del la Hoya vs. Mosley II even Stevie Wonder can see that Mosley didn't win...
Hopkins knows that you can't leave a fight in the hands of the judges because they just see completely different fights. As soon as you see their pictures you know the score cards are going to be out of wack.Hopkin's knows that in the rematch it must end in a KO. Hopkins started late yes, but I think he won the fight Rds.5,8-12 not clear about 6 &7 he had Taylor confused, tired, and beaten. Hopkins is a very smart fighter he shut down taylor's jab I didn't see the taylor that just demolish his opponents he was very timid to fight his fight. Hopkins had him in the position to KO'd him, but he didn't finish. I like them both but Hopkins is the man a bit dirty but I love his style. Rematch Hopkins KO's taylor needs to wear his mask next time...
Taylor didn't beat Hopkins like he should to win the belts the win was questionable it could've went either. He was shouting a rematch before Hopkins did he showed Hopkins too much respect instead of showing who was coming to replace him.
Mike Tyson was the best ever in his prime have you seen his fights on espn. That brought back memories of how good the Young Mike tyson was very powerful and quick for a heavyweight. The man was blessed with these skills and man who recognize them and help bring them out forgot his name. It all demenish when Don King got to him and the rape charge
Everyone knows that Oscar "The Golden Boy" is the name fighting him or working with him. Winky needs his promotion company to get off the ground and why not affliate with someone who is the most recognizable person in boxing. The offer from Winky which puzzles me is a way gain control of the deal and money to promote it as Winky promotions... He wants to be known as a promoter and a business man...
I look at it this way Winky has been in the game of boxing for years and should knows nothing is handed to you when judges are in control. Everyone knows when you come as a challenger on the "Champions" turf to take his belt you got to dominate the fight. I have to say this is the best fight I've seen winky fight walking down taylor using his quick right jab, but he won't survive to long in the middlewight class that one flow. Taylor is young and a strong puncher and I don't care what nobody say he was punching through winky's guard he wobbled him a couple times and unleash some good body shots. Winky felt that and he was mad because I don't think he wants to go through it again. Taylor is still learning and getting better in every fight which I see the rematch as you exciting because Winky is not going to change up he never does very old school set in his ways. If Taylor keeps winky in the middle of the ring there will winky have some problems. Emanuel Stewart will be on it with Taylor to improve. As for the 12th round its up in the air but as I say if you're the challenger I think its your job to show the judges you came take something from the Champion I don't care if taylor just stood in the ring not moving at all hes the champion until other wise. Winky was doing more putting his arms in the air than trying destory Taylor...
Winky is in the same position he was in before you haven't beaten the champ. His purse is increasing with the rematch if you win this fight you can now neogiate the terms of the money. Until then take it or leave because I don't see any other fighters that will bring Winky that type of payday. Its not like Winky had terms with other promoters for millions and a share of the PPV buys he turn those deals down. I don't know but Winky is making sick right now to much money to turn down either way you look at it hell I'll climb in the ring and fight. Winky's lawyer adviser knows that winky should've taken it, but than again winky could be full of it too he don't want none of Taylor those punches go through the guard of Winky "THOSE PUNCHES HURTS"...
