Jermain Taylor is SCREWED!

[mic573]

hopkins has no power

I don't think Taylor would agree with that seeing as Hopkins had him reeling alot in the last four rounds.

The only way Taylor knocks Hopkins out is if Hopkins has just slipped too much. Taylor couldn't even land a good significant shot the whole fight. He threw mostly amateur flurries to the body in most exchanges which hardly landed. His big shots didn't come close to landed almost everytime because Hopkins seen them coming a mile away and slipped them.

I thought Taylor pretty much fought at Hopkins pace in the first fight and he is thinking of slowing down some more. That will definitely give Hopkins much more chances to hurt Taylor with that righthand.

If he really slows down, then he's right where B-Hop wants him to be, and playing B-Hop's game will not get you a win. He's been doing it for too long to lose his own game.

If Jermaine does not come out aggressive, not 100 punches around, but at least as agressive as he was in the last fight, then he's going to lose, plain and simple.

Boxers always don't mean the things that they say on TV. I don't think his trainers would be that ****** to not think up a decent gameplan to beat Hopkins.

it wasn't so much what he said, but taylor seemed overconfident. even an old Hops is not someone u take lightly

He probably really thinks he dominated the first fight.

Again, if he fights Hopkins' fight, he cannot win.

you have to give the close rounds to the champion not the challenger, unless the challenger is making the champ fight his fight

say whaaaat?!?!

......anyway..i think Hopkins will break Taylor down and KO him around the 9th. Taylor is gonna be to confident (even is all of this is a plan to make hopkins think taylor is green). Taylor will be the less aggressive and i dont care what he or anyone said...everyone saw his face after the fight..he didnt think he had won and he knows inside that Hopkina was starting to f**k him up in those late rounds.

Who are all of you kidding yourself? Taylor is the youngblood, who won first time around. THink of the confidence he will have second time around? Hopkins is gonna lose either by late TKO or UD.

you break my heart man, thats just sad. You have another thing coming if you think hopkins is going to be ko'd, or taylor is going to hop all over him and win. Hopkins is a far better tactical fighter than anyone out there right now, experience and skills wise. Sure he is old but he can still lay a beating down if needed.

Taylor wins again. I keep hearing this crap how Hopkins will jump on Taylor. He does not come out and jump on fighters, not since Echols anyway. Taylor is going to be more relaxed and his punches will be more accurate because of it. He will make technical corrections and beat Hopkins again. Peace out.

It's called..mind games people don't buy the hype.
