    One thing I know about the Taylor rematch is that Hopkins is still going to hit Taylor all night with that righthand.

    Another thing you know is that he is still going to start very slow throwing between 12-20 punches a round, if Taylor has more gas in the tank in the last four rounds (what did the concussion do to him)then Nard is going to have to take chances-which I dont think he will do, the guy is not will to go out on his back to win-**** he had a young green rookie in trouble right in front of him for two rounds and he did not sell out.

    Second fight will be ridiculously close.

      ****, those of you who think he is coming in and going to blow Taylor away...you dont know Hopkins very well, he will be just as active as the first fight-he is not changing his style.

      If Taylor improves on his performance in the first fight than we are going to have another razor thin decision that can go either way. I thought Taylor fought ok and Hopkins was hopkins...what happens if Taylor fights a good fight or a great fight?

      I think we know what we are getting from Nard, I still dont think we know what we are getting from Taylor-it is damn hard too imagine anything less then what we saw in the first fight which means the second fight is going to be a topss up and no cakewalk like some dip****s suggest.

      Hopkins is not going to blow anyone out from here on out, he simply does not throw enough punches to do that.


      Hopkins vs. Winky and Hopkins vs. Jones....**** I cant imagine two more fights I would not want to see.

      I agree, the only thing Hopkins might do different in this fight is flurry at the end of the round to try and steal it. If this goes the distance look for Hopkins to win if its close(make up decisions rule the sport) Winky and Hopkins is perhaps the most boring fight ever. Hopkins only chance is to counter Winky. But yes Hop needs to worry about Taylor. If showed he's easily the better fighter and boxer. He just needs to be a tad bit more active in the early round with counters, and takeover a round or two earlier. Taylors power punches are sloppy and his jab is overrated just as I thought.

        I know he's not going to come out and blow him away but I do think he will put a little more into his punches early than he did the first time around.

          I agree he will make some MINOR adjustments-possibly like King said above throwing some flurries at the end of the round to get people excited...

          But...

          I really feel Taylor can only improve off of his first fight, I think NArd can do a couple things different that would have made the first fight a lot easier but he is not going to be facing the same Jermain Taylor, I look forward to seeing how the first fight has changed the young green rookie, my bet is that it changed him for the better.

          Again the second fight is going to be damn close.

            I agree 100% Taylor fought pretty badly and STILL pulled off the upset.
