Hopkins will be slightly more aggresive which is all he needs to do. Hopkins by UD, or KO in late rounds. The fight will be slightly more exciting then this last one.
If Hopkins is slightly more aggresive in the first 2 rounds, and then begins to fade back as he did in the first fight he can lure Taylor in and use his inexperience against him. When Hopkins backs off and Taylor continues to pursue it will become a replay of their first match. -

Taylor by UD. If Hopkins could have been aggressive earlier last fight he would have been. Trust me, he didn't exactly enjoy losing the whole first half of the fight but he had to wait for Taylor to get fatigued until he went on the offensive. Hopkins can't slug it out with Taylor in the early part of the fight without seriously risking himself getting knocked out.Comment

I see the rematch this way. If Bitchkins tries to brawl with Taylor, then I see Bitchkins getting knocked out by Taylor. I truly believe Bitchkins will run like a bunny again & Taylor will win again by UD. Bitchkins don't have the balls to brawl with Taylor, he's all talk. We will see another bunny show from Bitchkins & he will try to be dirty again. The only time Bitchkins grows some balls is if Taylor has another concussion or another cut.Comment

He doesn't need to brawl, you people are crazy. Taylor only landed a couple of more shots in some of the earlier rounds compared to Hopkins. It's not like he needs to come out swining. He just has to throw a little more than he did in the first fight.Originally posted by ParodiusI see the rematch this way.

Yea but don't forget that Bitchkins might get a little ****y & get knocked out by Taylor.Originally posted by Dirt E GomezHe doesn't need to brawl, you people are crazy.

Taylor only landed a couple more, but that's because Hopkins spent more time having to get out of the way and make Taylor miss than actually try to score. Taylor was bullying Hopkins those first rounds and had control of the fight, that's the difference. Judges don't just look at punch stats to determine the winner of a round, they look at who is controlling the round and who is the aggressor. Hopkins could have landed the same or a couple more than Taylor and STILL lost those rounds. He ran too much.Originally posted by Dirt E GomezHe doesn't need to brawl, you people are crazy.

Bad judges maybe. Somebody charging and throwing 100 punches, and only landing 5 wont win the round, even if the other guy only throws 4 punches but all 4 land. Aggression is important, but it has to be effective.Originally posted by legendTaylor only landed a couple more, but that's because Hopkins spent more time having to get out of the way and make Taylor miss than actually try to score.
