Taylor not in training camp yet

[Manny_P]

If Taylor isn't going to change anything then it will just be a repeat of rounds 9-12 but a little earlier in the fight. Taylor has no defense for the right hand and his best punch which is the jab was nullified by Hopkins. Not to mention Hopkins can throw counter hooks everytime Taylor jabs because of Taylor pulling his righthand back everytime he jabs. That is something Hopkins didn't take too much advantage of in the first fight. Then on top of that Taylor's righthand is telegraphed at all times. I don't think I have ever seen Taylor throw a straight righthand punch. It's always a wide looping overhand right but until the Hopkins fight nobody had been able to stop it.

Taylor isn't all that much faster and he can't fight going backwards. Before the first fight I said Taylor didn't respond well when a fighter pressured him and many people disagreed with me. Hopkins proved my point in the final rounds by using smart pressure and landing at will with the righthand which is another thing I said he would do before the first fight.

Most of ta things you posted are either false or not true. LOL!

and pls......HOW MANY FIGHTAS CAN FIGHT WELL GOING BACKWARDS??? Cmon, think befo you post.

Name one boxer that pressured Taylor?? You say you know alot about Taylor, then please name me one. Taylor never lost a round in his career until the fight with Bitchkins.

You really haven't seen many fights form Taylor.

Daniel Edouard pressured Taylor in the first round of thier fight and had him going backwards with no response.

Hopkins pressured him in the final rounds and look what happened then. Hopkins landed at will and had him going back and covering up.

I have seen almost every Taylor fight that has been shown on HBO which is pretty much his entire career. That is the reason why I have seen all these flaws in Taylor's defense.

It is not true that Hopkins landed at will with the righthand?

It is not true that Taylor didn't respond well to Hopkins pressure in the final rounds?

It is not true that he throws nothing but telegraphed overhand wide looping righthand punches?

It is not true that he doesn't **** back his righthand everytime he jabs? Hopkins actually called it the bow and arrow.

It is not true that Hopkins almost nullified Taylor's jab completely during the fight?

Wrong! Daniel Edouard never pressured Taylor. He landed a perfect bomb on Taylor & guess what happened after he landed that bomb, Taylor rocked him, that is not pressuring a fighter. I have seen most of Taylor fights & this guy show many different skills. He can box & brawl. You also said that Taylor doesn't have much of a speed.


You also said that Bitchkins pressured him, guess what Bitchkins didn't have the balls to pressure Taylor for the first 9 rounds, all Bitchkins did is run like a bunny for the first 9 rounds.

exactly Parodius!!!!

mic, Hopkins dint pressure Taylor. Comon now. Tayler was tired afta ta 9th round, OF COURSE Hopkins ,known fo good endurance, will have to throw em hands. Hopkins will neva pressure a bigga and mo stronger fighta in Taylor. He can't do it!!! It may look like Hop pressured Taylor to you, but to ta mo betta observers, that aint ta case.

And like I said, your claim that Tayler can't fight well backwerds..........is tottaly wrong! HOW MANY FIGHTAS CAN FIGHT WELL GOIN BACKWERDS????

[Pac Man Fan 83]

I see Taylor winning by UD. Somewhere along the lines of 116-112.

Well said! Taylor was pressuring Bitchkin for the first 9 rounds. The funny thing that mic said is that Taylor was pressured before the Bitchkins fight. That tells me he probably hasn't seen many fights from Taylor.

Edouard was coming forward and Taylor was going backwards when he landed that perfect bomb. That's pressure and I know Taylor rocked him. Edouard came out and started pressuring Taylor from the opening bell before getting caught.

Hopkins did pressure him in the fight and he had Taylor going back and covering up. Hopkins was too busy making Taylor miss and countering him early in the fight.

I said Taylor wasn't all that much faster than Hopkins. I didn't say he didn't have speed.

Man I don't know what fight you watch. Taylor was rocking Edouard in every round.
