Taylor still the underdog???

[bfg]

This really doesn't make sense to me. Some sites have him at a 2 to 1 underdog in the rematch but if anything it seems like Hopkins should be the underdog. I thought Hopkins lost the first fight by lack of activity and I'm not sure he can bring all that much more to the rematch (I hope I am proven wrong). Hopkins is easily past him prime and Taylor is just entering his. I think B-Hop has a chance of winning but I think this fight should be 50/50 or even in Taylor's favor. Hopkins is also entering the fight without Bouie Fisher, which may hurt him.

The way Hopkins finished the first fight, & the way he has performed in rematches....are the main factors in his being the slight favorite.

The impression from the first fight is that Taylor won rounds because Hopkins gave them to him. Taylor did nothing special, & didn't really make anything happen.
Many are banking on Hopkins not making the same mistake again.

watch rounds 10-11-12 of the first fight, then just imagine an angry hopkins, then u see why taylor is the underdog

Taylor is the underdog most likely because it didn't seem he "TOOK" the title...like it was more "on Hopkins" for losing the fight rather than Taylor...Hopkins finished the fight strong as Taylor was wilting and the 12th round scoring was somewhat controversial...so I am not surprised...

jermain taylor is the underdog but only by the slightest margins. its about as close to even money as you will find.

most places have hopkins at 1.77-1 and taylor at 1.9-1 or 2-1
