from Taylor:
-talked about how life has changed since the first fight
-thinks he showed too much respect in the first fight
-says Bernard knows how strong he is
-feels he still has something to prove, trained hard, can't wait till this fight
-going to train 100% still, can't wait to look forward to training camp
from Hopkins:
-says Taylor got the victory, but he didn't actually beat Bernard Hopkins
-says its gets to a point with an industry champion or "future" champion, he must understand that there's alot at stake and involved in who should've won/who shouldn't have won
-"if you just deal with the last round, it could've easily made it a draw" (the first fight)
-"i'm at peace, if you've been following Bernard Hopkins, you understand im at my best, when it's comes to proving a point, to show that i'm the better fighter, better athlete, at 40 and a half years old"
-"I'm at my best, when i know i gotta beat the system again!"
-"This is my last fight of meaningful significance."
-"I didn't expect to be here talking about a rematch"
-"Last fight to me, for what i've stood up for."
from Hopkins at the podium:
-during the conference, Hopkins gave Taylor respect and thinks he could be a future great champ.
-Hopkins says it'll be a great fight.
-says it isn't about belts for him.
-more of a fight of him instead of just Taylor
-talks about the interesting after-fight comments from Taylor, the "I'm gonna do better next time" type comments, says he knew, in his heart, that he didn't deserve to become champion.
-funny: said Taylor talks better than him!
-says no third fight
from Taylor:
-never backed down from any fight, not scared
-says, "i'm so sick of the crying, as a matter a fact, I brought him a little present."
-brought him a toy that played the music twinkle, twinkle little star (Bernard stands up, laughing)
-say's "if the toy doesn't work, maybe she's wet" (talking about his baby daughter) he pulls out a diaper "so i change her pamper"
also pulls out a baby bottle
-"All playing aside, im a fighter. That's what i do. I don't have anything to do with judges. To state the truth, yes, i was upset about that last round. In the second fight, it's not gonna happen. He has no power, has no speed, this man has nothing."
*Taylor's speech was pretty funny
oh, weeeee. im hyped for this fight. two months to go tho.
