    How Bernard Hopkins would defend agaist too much jab?

    What can the "Executioner" Bernard Hopkins do to defend agaist too much jab from Winky W. and J. Taylor, and also attack enough in order to win the fight at least on points?

    Which techniques would he use?

    hmm

    He'd probably just outdo them at their own game, or create a weakness in them that they didn't even know they had.

      Hopkins has a jab as well so he could use it to offset Taylor and Winky's jab. Hopkins and Winky's jab would neutralize itself if Hopkins jabs with Winky.

        Thanks Super_Lightweight and mic573. Do you think that in-fighting and uppercuts would help?

          hmm

          That all depends. It's hard to say how a fight will play out between Wright and Hopkins. Even as old as Hopkins is I'm sure he has a stronger body than Wright, so getting rough on the inside to help get rid of Wright's jab might happen.

          Uppercuts I don't think will be that much of a factor. Winky seems to defend against those well.

            Hopkins doesn't walk in like a Tito...so don't let last night be an impression of that

              I think Hopkins would be able to time and counter Winky with his own jab or left hook. Tito didnt have **** yesterday and the jab was hurting Tito all night that was a big discouragment not to go inside on Winky. Hopkins naturally bigger and stronger will find a way to get in and counter with big shots,still the fight would go either way.

                side to side movement so it can never land clean and countering on the side of it and over the top of it.

                    i also think like that, he is just to smart and unpredictable. btw picture of jones on your signature looks very su****ious, he looks like he was on roids.
