if taylor wins? fight sturm of course

Taylor will beat Bitchkins again. He won the first fight & most people think he won the fight, the polls speaks for themselves. Yea the Tito fight will be great, also we can have many other great fights in the middleweight. I think Bitchnard will get KTFO this time. He might get a little brave this time, instead of running like a bunny for 9 rounds.

yup!

Bernard realizes that a huge reason that he lost ta fight is that he din't work right away and he dint iniate ta action. Havin that in mind in ta rematch will be his doomsday.

I can see Bernard startin fasta than usual and gettin to Tayler on ta get go! But ta thing is, that will only get him KTFO! Tayler is physically stronga and from what I've seen has ta betta hands. Bernard's advantage ova Tayler is that HE PICKS HIS SHOTS betta than Jermain. That's bout it though!


Tayler will KO Bernard in ta rematch becuz it'll be mo of a FIGHT ratha than runnin around and bunny hoping like ta 1st match!

I saw the fight and it was quit ugly. Why do they ever patronize fights like these. Almost nothing happened. Two guys just staring at each other.

Taylor has all the advantages on his side. Youth, speed, power. Use it wisely and he gets a UD at least. KO at best.

Great post

Now that time has passed & the initial controversy has faded....
Let the truth be known -

That first fight ******.


Because there was so little going on, any little thing one did to the other was completely exaggerrated.
I saw the fight a week later.....& none of what I read, by the HEATED supporters of either, apppeared as described.

I read someone in here say the right hand Hopkins hit Taylor with in the ninth round "sounded like a gun going off!". It was a decent punch AT BEST, & unfortunately...the best shot of the whole fight.

I hope to God this next fight is better. I'm tired of tentativeness being mistaken for technique, startegy, & "boxing".

This is a really good post, I must admit. I laughed, agreed & disagreed.
Dead right on so little going on and exaggerated descriptions of the fight. I also hope the next fight is better although I disagree about tentativeness being mistaken for technique, etc. I'm assuming, I hope correctly that you were referring to Hopkins. I see where fans perceive it that way but Hopkins is or was winning consistantly doing it his way. Granted, he has a damn long feeling out process but it's more than just that. He manages to win this way time and time again. He's mastered his game, his style. He does have the longest title defense 'ever' in the history of the sport. It is boring, no question about it and unfortunately it doesn't gain him any fans. Anyway, boxing would be better served in the short term and long term if he stopped fighting soon, win or lose the second fight he should retire. He's great as far as I'm concerned. I'll be a fan regardless of the outcome. Peace.

As for the rematch, how will things be different? I don't believe old man Hopkins can go 12 hard rounds, so he will again give away rounds and not be able to win a decision. We already know that even with a headbutt/concussion assist he can't KO Taylor. Plus, Hopkins is even older this time around and Taylor will be stronger and better conditioned for 12 rounds.

I think it's safe to say that Hopkins will be fighting rather dirty during the rematch. He'll go all cell block on Taylor, I fear. Hopkins may go for a dramatic early win but that's just wishful thinking on my part. I know it's unlikely from Hopkins. He may fight the same exact fight but get aggressive earlier for a mid round KO or a UD. I don't think Taylor will knock him out. I believe if there's a KO opportunity we may see it from Hopkins over Taylor but that's just me. I know I'm not in the majority on that one. As you say, it will be a great fight regardless. I'm psyched as hell to see it. Peace.

taylor and samuel peter need to win boxing needs a new superstar

lol, what an opinion... wow, that "bitchnard" stuff is mature too.


if Jermain Taylor pulls off a win here in the rematch, i'll definately be surprised. i don't think he will. i think Hopkins will control the fight just like he did last time, just in a more dominant fashion, so that if it does go to a decision again, he doesn't have to worry about 'politics' cause it's a clear cut decision. Hopkins by Unan Decision.

plus i refuse to believe that a loss to a talented fighter like Bernard Hopkins will ruin Jermain Taylor's chances at shining in boxing for many years to come, and im tired of people on here saying over and over that Jermain should win just because he's young. Pretty ****** logic.

Pac Men is 100% right. The first fight ******,and there is no reason to believe that anything will change in the second fight. No question Taylor won the fight but he looked lost,confused and a bit scarred in doing so. Maybe he will do beter this time around but I didnt see anything that would suggest he can. Hopkins only chance for a decision win will need a rule change to award points for not throwing any punches. As for the next fight being boring ,well what Hopkins fight isn't boring.
