    I now know that hearing "and winner by SPLIT DECISION" automatically means they are giving a gift to Taylor.

    I wonder if Taylor is actually going to land a significant punch this time around.
    you mean like ta one he landed on ta 2nd round that made Hopkins do ta Fat Joe "Lean Back"? LOL LOL!

            Oh yes I just loved that "damaging" grazing punch that had Hopkins on ***** street like never before.

            Again, the key word was SIGNIFICANT.

              Hopkins pissed me off in the first fight, if he would have fought rounds 1-5 like he fought 10, 11, and 12 then he could have stopped Taylor. He had Taylor hurt in each of the championship rounds and it didn't really seem like Bernard was having much trouble landing. I think Hopkins will win the rematch, so long as he fights throughout the fight.

                What you have to remember is Bernard is 40 years old. He's in excellent shape for a 40 year old, but he can't move, punch like he used to. The last couple of years he has changed his style where he has done virtually nothing the first 4 rounds but land a couple counter shots and then wins every single round after that.

                The young gun Taylor is going to pose trouble to Hopkins, but I'm still taking the experienced, skillful Hopkins over WIDE UD. Hopkins is probably training like a madman now, he wants those belts back.

                  watch the replay, the punch never hits him clean, it grazed him at best, hopkins was getting out of the way and was pushed by the left hand when he was off balance.... slow motion you can see it clearly, and even at normal play you can see it.....
                  Taylor does have a chance to make up for his mistakes in this fight, but he is going to be fighting a completely different Hopkins. Hopkins is going to do Taylor like he did Joppy. turn him into damaged goods.....

                      I can't see Taylor winning again, I just can't see it. Bernard is too smart in the ring to make a mistake twice...
