Hopkins dominates Tarver, and Taylor dominates Winky

[vB Martin]

It will be Taylor that will ultimately be tested, not the other way around.

100% accurate.

I think that taylor has the tools to win the fight, but regardless of how boring winky's style is, and regardless of how lighty he punches, he's the consumate boxer. Great defense, throws accurately. Taylor will definitely have his hands full, and Winky stands a very good chance of winning a UD, though all the people saying it will be like Tito are laughable. Two completely different fighters with completely differetn skill sets.

Trust me. I know what I'm talking about.

Hopkins wide UD. Taylor KO.

You wait and see.

This is kind of like how zab was going to ko floyd and lacy was going to knock joe c out in 1???

i see taylor out muscling wright all night and eventually knocking him down or out. taylor is to big for winky, and if you seen any of his other fights besides that b-hop fights you will see how dominate he is. he is the future of the middleweight division.

dominant...

That's where you're wrong. Taylor's jab doesn't compete with Winks. And i'm so sick of everyone prediction leading to "he's stronger" or "taylor's bigger", Taylor honestly doesn't have that big an advantage in that department. All the power in the world isn't going to break Wright's defense. Wright will outbox Taylor all night, and come away with the decision as the true top middleweight in the division. End of prediction

are you serious? how can you say Taylor's jab isn't as good or better than Winky's? Most experts will tell you Taylor has one of the best jabs in years.

You got one right. But just how is Taylor gonna KO winky ?

[DiegoFuego]

Why does everyone act like Winky is unknockoutable?

Tarver v. Hopkins:

BHop is a careful counterpuncher who relies on his opponent to be active,make a mistake or tire late. This is not the Bhop of 1995 who has high output rds 1 - 12, we have seen that in his last 4 or 5 fights. Tarver is also a careful counterpuncher, he will not outwork himself early and repeat Taylors mistakes of the first round. I'm also willing to bet that Tarver can rake a punch just as easy as Taylor. BHop hit Taylor with his best shots in the first fight and Taylor stood in there. Tarver will attack during spots of this fight because he will have no fear of Bhops power. UD for Tarver in a boring fight.

Taylor vs. Wright

Wright has not faced a legit MW yet, except for maybe Soliman. Don't underestimate the impact of training under Manny Steward in the Kronk in Detroit will have on Taylor. Manny is the mast of teaching fighters how to use the jab and Taylor already has one of the best in the business. Taylor by close UD or SD.

Punch him hard.
Winky has a good chin it seems, but he hasnt really been tested.
This is the biggest fight of Winky's career, he better be ready.

But just how is Taylor gonna KO winky ?

I could say how is Winky going to keep Taylor off him for 12 rounds being only a light-middleweight arm-puncher? And with Steward having worked with Taylor very seriously for this I'm sure Taylor will be using feints to try to find gaps and also I'm sure would of been working on shifting his position to try to open Winky up. I'm honestly sure that Taylor is naturally talented enough to of mastered new moves in one training camp.
