Hello, everybody. Welcome back. Thank you for being patient. And as the operator, mentioned, we are on the call today with Bernard Hopkins as well as Oscar De La Hoya, President of Golden Boy Promotions, who is co-promoting the event with DiBella Entertainment. Again, we have Taylor Hopkins II, No Respect December 3rd, but 12 days away at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, and available live on HBO Pay Per View beginning at 9:00 p.m. Eastern. At this time I’d like to turn the call over to Oscar De La Hoya, President of Golden Boy Promotions [details]

hmm
Straight up, Bernard is an *******. I can't believe how those reporters kiss his ass when they ask questions, trying not to offend him. *******.Well, you can look at the fight tape and look at his demeanor and you look at him wanting a rematch. As soon as the fight was over and the idiot didn’t understand that he won the fight.
Taylor UD. Hopkins IS old, IS in denial, and IS not the champ anymore. -
honestly..... again, let's all go on and on about how Hopkins is a jerk, an *******, and a selfish person. it's ALL been stated before, and it's NOTHING new. It's not gonna change. What he ALSO is is an amazing and talented fighter. And Taylor's not a saint here, although that's how the media will always portray him and any other opponent going up against Hopkins.Originally posted by Super_Lightweight
Seriously.. lately, what has Hopkins really done, verbally, that's any worse that all the side-jabs Taylor has been screaming since the end of the 1st fight? Plus, what the hell is wrong with the comment Hopkins made there? It's the truth isn't it? Taylor knows he didn't win the fight, he's a truthful person. He knows he should've done better. I think Hopkins has done well CONTAINING most of the comments the traditional Hopkins would've made at this point, he's doing his best to respect the decision from the 1st fight, give him a break! Hopkins finally comes out and at most, calls Taylor an 'idiot' and you guys **** your pants like he just killed a member of Taylor's family.
Hopkins UD. Hopkins IS the better fighter, he KNOWS he can win next saturday, and he WILL get his belts back by outworking and outperforming the young one.
I can imagine the sportsbooks in Vegas LOVE Hopkins because of all the ignorant people that bet against him only because they don't like him personally.Last edited by restless_438; 11-24-2005, 01:34 PM.Comment

CHUCK JOHNSON: Strategically speaking, Bernard, what’s going to be different this time for you in this fight?
BERNARD HOPKINS: What’s going to be different to Jermain Taylor or what’s going to be different …
CHUCK JOHNSON: No. No, as …
BERNARD HOPKINS: … with me?
CHUCK JOHNSON: … far as your strategy and what you plan to do covering this fight?
BERNARD HOPKINS: Well, a strategy isn’t a strategy if you unveil it. Hannibal didn’t tell the Italian people he was coming through the ocean on his …
CHUCK JOHNSON: OK. So, you have strategy, but you’re not – you don’t plan to unveil it?
BERNARD HOPKINS: Well, who unveils their strategy?
CHUCK JOHNSON: No, I got you. I got you.
