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????
Hopkins was coming forward in the final rounds. That is pressuring your opponent. It doesn't matter if Taylor was tired that's his problem.
Hopkins can fight well going backwards. Casamayor can fight well going backwards. The fighters who can't fight well going backwards are aggressive come foward all the time type fighters.
If I were Taylor, I would be training my ass off. Hopkins wants redemption. Especially since Taylor didn't do enough to win those titles in that fight (in my opinion). Hopkins took Jermain too lightly, yes, but he is going to be out for blood in fight #2. I say Hopkins by late round KO. He won't come in like a bull, he is smart, but he will punish Taylor until he goes down. It will be a Benard Hopkins we haven't seen since he won his title. Should prove to be entertaining.
NArd is a type of a fighter who trains all year long...its just when the preparation to a fight comes, he trains even more.
I hope Bernard whips the new kid on a block.
Taylor will beat Hopkins again. If Hopkins comes to Taylor early he is done for, if he sits back he will lose early rounds again. Only Taylor will be more relaxed in this fight and will have more energy.
I'm picking Bernard Hopkins to win this one. I think it's going to be an exact mirror of the first fight, except Bernard will be a bit sharper, and cleaner with his punches in the first 5-7 rounds so he win some rounds. Bernard took Taylor to easy, and this time he's out to humiliate the young gun Taylor. It's going to be a really exciting fight.
Hopkins will KO taylor cause he knows he cna hurt him, it will be an al la trinidad type KO with taylor going wtf happened? and the ref answering u just got knocked out son
Hopkins didn't have the energy to go for 12 rounds last time, and won't this time. Taylor by UD and no arguments afterwards.
There is no need for Taylor to overtrain and come into the fight worn out. His camp is too smart to fall for the psychobabble of know nothings telling them what to do.
