Official Antonio Tarver vs. Bernard Hopkins Thread.

I think Tarver by UD in a snoozer is a good bet.

[dustymoo]

I go for Tarver in an ugly UD! Looking forward to a couple more Calzaghe dodgers getting it on!

Hopkins by UD or a late TKO. I just think Tarver stamina will hurt him against Hopkins in the later rounds.

I think Tarver-Hopkins is going to be the most entertaining and exciting fight of the year. Tarver is gonna come out swinging to get that early knockout that he promised and Hopkins is gonna start sooner than he did against Taylor to avoid a repeat of what happened in his last 2 fights plus it's Hopkins last fight and probably wants to go out with a ****.

I think this whole weight deal is going to have a similar effect on Tarver as it did on RJJ. I heard Tarver had to move up to about 200 pounds to film Rocky 6, now he's gotta come down to 175. That cannot be a good thing. What matters, I think, is how Hopkins body handles the extra 15 pounds, if it makes him stronger and fresher, he's going to beat the **** out of Tarver.

you are correct if that actually happens with hopkins but at the same time, his going up to face a true LHW leaves him no room to take any shots from traver....

[italianmafia23]

Antonio Tarver is a great boxer, noone can deny that fact. However, Bernard Hopkins is fully capable of defeating Tarver. I saw nothing in Hopkins last two fights that would suggest that he is on the decline and you can bet your bottom dollar Hopkins will bring his A game come Saturday night. Antonio Tarver is a very talented boxer with a lot of skill and potential but his big mouth and arrogance will hurt him.

Hopkins by unanimous decision.

Gotta go with B-hop he is a phila boy and i say he wins in a descion

[-X-]

Hopkins is the greatest fighter the last 20 years...he will find a way to win trust me.

[Piggu]

B Hop runs all fight and finally get hit with a monster of a shot....down goes hopkins...1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 and the fight is over....Winner by KO in 1 of the 12 rounds..A. Tarver...

LOL Yeah ****in' right. I'd bet on th Fan Man flying into the ring before I bet on that.

LOL Yeah ****in' right. I'd bet on th Fan Man flying into the ring before I bet on that.
