October 1st rematch won't happen! Taylor's stitches and concussion!

[gnostic19]

What? I've had 2 concussions, one during a football game that I stayed in at safety and finished from right after halftime. I was chopped at the ankles, flew completely upside down and landed on my head. Sat out for a drive, came back in and finished the game.

Sometime concussions aren't even painful, just disorienting. And now look at the fight. It wasn't until after Hopkins drilled him with a headbutt and opened that gash that Taylor started losing momentum and the tide began to shift. It's almost apparent that after that round, Taylor was sluggish, uncoordinated and tired.

Loss of blood, concussion, winded, fighting Bernard Hopkins. Still hung on for a decision. And you called him "soft" earlier.

Was the Head butt that deliberate? I haven't heard any commentary about teh butt..then againm all i've read was over on Maxboxing. They were all over BHop's scrotum, so that could be why there was no mention of the head butt. None in the mailbag, either.

As I said before "Mark my words Taylor will win the fight by a close decision" .... And he did (in judges eyes of course)

Now I say this:
"Mark my words, there won't be a rematch"

Time works against B-Hop.. and they will just stretch this far enough for Nard to go into retirement, or probably fight someone in the middle and go out with a "W"

All part of the Golden Boy Conspiracy

yeah they most likely will try to keep the rematch away from hopkins, real far away if they can. the only thing is, is that it is in writing( the rematch clause) and hopkins will pursue the rematch to the fullest extent....if not, it will be fought in court...i think it the rematch does happen, taylor and hbo needs it...bad!

Nah, I didn't think the first one was deliberate, but who knows with B-Hop. He is a pretty sneaky fighter.

But the second one I saw, looked like he aimed for TAylor's jaw, and connected with it. I'm pretty sure that one was.

I need to see the fight again this weekend to be sure.

The headbutt that caused the cut on Taylor's head was ruled accidental. For anyone who says it was deliberate is a moron because B-Hop is smart. He should've known that if he cut Taylor and lost the fight that he would have to wait for Taylor to heal in order to get the rematch. I'm sure B-Hop didn't mean for the headbutt because he doesn't have time to "wait."

This was on some Jirov/Mesi ****. How big was the gash on Taylors head?

I find it funny when one fighter technically beats another fighter on points but actually takes the physical ass whooping.

Why don't they reschedule for November or December?

Pac whoopin Marquez huh yet Marquez winnin mo rounds? Yup , nyahahahaha!

Apparently an OCT1st rematch will not happen because of the 15 stitches in Taylor's had. Plus it seems he has a concussion.

So it may not even be until sometime next year. By that time the drive for a rematch may die off between the fighters which I hope not.

I am still not convinced that Taylor dominates the division. I feel Hopkins would win the rematch to become a 2 Time Undisputed MW Champ, retire, vacate the belts, then a tourney should happen. The best MW should win.

I doubt that Taylor suffered a concussion. If you can provide a link, that would be great.
