Official Antonio Tarver vs. Bernard Hopkins Thread.

[LOLORSKATES]

Hopkins. That's all I can say. Hopkins

[Super_Lightweight]

Hopkins will have a little extra energy from not having to drain to make weight, and will win a close UD. He will establish his speed as superior and come in looking healthy and strong.

[Zab Super Judah]

hopkins because tarver will allow him to fight at hopkins' pace

[The Scientist]

I swear Hopkins can't be human, he should be tested for extra terrestrial tissue or something. If a 41 year old man has more gas in the tank than a 27 year Taylor by the end of twelve rounds, somethings gotta give

I say Tarver gets screwed by the judges and 'B-Hop' takes the fight by SD.

[Rane-Ex54]

I'm almost positive Tarver is 37, not 27. SO to me age isn't a big issue. Tarver has talent but not as much experience as BHOP. BHOP win by UD.

[King Koyle]

I think that Tarver will outwork Hopkins for a UD.

[AirJay78]

although an underdog, my pick is Hopkins by decision in an upset

Hopkins by decision is not an upset. The majority already feel that way anyway...

[Mishra100]

I'm kinda suprised at how alone I am on this. I think Tarver will knock Hopkins on the canvas for the win. Tarver is used to hitting hard and fighting strong guys. Hopkins is just a natural middleweight and has barely to no experience in the lightweight. He is just not used to that division and will have too hard of a time adapting.

I hope Hopkins kicks his arse!!!!

[champ007]

I know Hopkins is taking a risk moving up,where the competition hits much harder,but if this were anyone else but a ring technician like B-Hop i would say it won't work. but i am confident Hopkins will prevail. He's a little too slick to get whipped in the ring. Go B-Hop!!!
