    taylor is going to get wrecked soon, if it isnt b-hop it will be one of the other boxers in his weight range that are more skilled than taylor.
    taylor isnt a creation of hbo he is a creation of dibella.

    Does it matter if Taylor beat him...he fought an exrtremely competitive fight, who else has fought NArd that close in recent memory?

    You say Taylor is goin got get wrecked soon...it better be soon because he is only gonna get better and if Nard cant do it next time around who is going to do it...Sturm? (Sturmrules is now suppposed to jump in and pump of felix).

    LEts get off of this creation thing...a network or a promoter can only take you so far...despite what you think eventually you do have to prove a few things with your fists.

      no HBO does love TAYLOR, but taylor does have to skills to prove that he is no creation

        I actually think DeLaHoya had a good fight against Hopkins. That KO punch must have been sweet, even though you couldn't see it on the replay. Anyway, DeLaHoya was challenging Hopkins much better, while the fight lasted. I didn't think Taylor did anything impressive in that fight. He won on the score cards, for sure, but it wasn't really by doing anything spectacular. It was just a matter of throwing a lot of punches, regardless of them landing. He basically had to keep throwing to keep Hopkins away from him. If he lowered his punch output, Hopkins would have landed more punches and probably wouldn't have been very close if not ahead in scoring. Looking at the score, you'd think the fight was a blowout, but that wasn't really the case at all.

          I love Oscar, I absolutely love him and the fight was pretty darn close with Nard but I was upset with Oscar for not throwing any REAL punches...he really did very very little in that bout and Nard is the type of fighter that will let you stay in a fight if you are just as cautious as he is which Oscar was.

          Jermain threw some punches with some real bad intentions, in particular the right hand...he let NArd know there was something to fear if you challenged him...I think some of those big right hadns that missed warned Bernard just enough for him not to try anything in the first half of the fight.

          Lets see what happens next fight, my guess is that Nard fought his fight and the young Champ Taylor did not fight his fight...if you think of it this way then this Taylor guy may be really ready to impress in the rematch!

              I agree with the Oscar fight...had Nard of pressed earlier he would have roughed up Goldie sooner.

              BUT...

              Time will tell with the Taylor fight...Nard will not be going after Taylor the first half of the fight...people will be surprised and they really shouldnt be...Nard will wait in the remtach...just like he did in the first fight...he may start a little sooner (he better) but I have a feeling Taylor wont fade quite so badly in the championship rounds this time and if Nard senses danger he will not press-and quite possibly wait even longer then he did before.

              Nard is not the type of fighter that will go for it at the risk of getting knocked out....but we shall see in the rematch.

                When Hopkins actually fought against Taylor at the end he was about to TKO Taylor. I expect one early this time.

                  You expect an early KO this time....you name how much and we have a bet...Taylor regradless of the outcome finishes on his feet...

                  When was the last time NArd got an early KO? I would mortgage my home on it!

                  Let me no how much you want to bet...it has to be in the millions.

                    I meant to type KO. No TKO. That aint Hopkins style. He could get a TKO early but he aint that risky.
