fellow good athlete,
taylor only won the first couple rounds because the numbers were close in landed punches but he was way more active.

[TuPrincipe]

Hopkins can't start at a fast pace. His body is 40 years old, and he won't be able to have the stamina to do so. He is a well-conditioned athlete but a 40 year old body can't compete with a 26 or 27 year old body in Taylor.

Hopkins says he doesn't trust the judges so he will knock Taylor out, but Tarver said that also and did it happen? NO.

There's so many factors in this fight that make it a pick'em fight, so I haven't made my choice yet.

Taylor is more experienced, hungrier, and if he wins this bout he has bigger and better things in the middleweight, supermiddle, and possibly light heavyweight.

Fight will be close but I'm taking Bernard by MD.

[psychopath]

Yes this is a pick'em fight. Too close to call. But I'm leaning on B-Hops to get a revenge on the younger Taylor.

The key here is for B-Hops to be more active early and win rounds convingcingly. He doesn't have to mixed it up with Taylor all 12 rounds, If he win early rounds the pressure will be on Taylor to push the fight to him.

People keep saying if Nard starts fast that he will run out of gas, but I think if he starts fast he will KO Taylor...

This is boxing, knockouts happen and Taylor does not have a iron chin.

In other words: Hopkins by a vicious KO victory.

agreed

no fighter in the game has more pride than Hop, people like to talk **** about how he wins his fights but be knows how to get the job done.. on Dec 3 Bernard is gonna end his his career on top an knock out Taylor.

[STEELHEAD]

imo hopkins is going to fight the same gameplan he's fought time and again.

taylors has expierienced bhops dirty tactics and power.and has a hell of a lot more confidents.and has had mucho time to work on his mistakes.if this adds up to taylor connecting with more less anxious punches and returning dirty tactics in kind.this kids speed and power is going to make hopkins get old in the ring.

forget about this hoodoo crap like hopkins has never lost a rematch.

[Mr. Violence]

I changed ma mind. I don't think Taylor can KO Hopkins becuz Hopkins is too tough and too hard to hit. 50-50 fight, but Hopkins ACTUALLY MIGHT WIN TIS ONE. But Ima go wit Tayler. Judging from that performance last July, I think he can improve it. f Bernard starts early like most suggests, then he wouldnt have ta stamina to do WHAT HE DID LAST JULY which was rally in ta late rounds. Tayler by decision.

Opinions?

Hopkins will win this one like he won the last one. He got ripped off in the last fight.

[Truth]

Hopkins is pissed, I think he'll be a lot more prepared this time round, I reckon he'll win by a late round KO or on a decision.

Hopkins is going to take Jermain Taylor to school.

Hopkins is going to take Jermain Taylor to school.

yep, he took him to school the first time. but that was just a 1000 level class..he now will take him in2 an advanced lesson...thanks to the fact Taylor actually thinks he won the first fight, he now is pretty ****y, and will get ko'd no doubt The Pride of a great champ like B-Hop alwayz gets revenge
