WOW! Hopkins impressed me yesterday!

[Scott122]

Now that was the real Hopkins that fought yesterday. He had a mission on his mind, and he kicked Tarver's ass! I did not know he would dominate so easily. He even knocked him down in the 5th. If Hopkins fought this way against Taylor, he would have won.

[{BrownBomber}]

if he fought this way with taylor he would have gone down......bad.
I like Hopkins more than Taylor but I have to admit Taylor is a bad dude.
Taylor will demolish Winky if Winky thinks he can stand there and just block shots.

[Scott122]

idk, i think HOpkins would have beat him, but yea, Taylor looks like he will damage Winky up a bit, but wright's still a heck of a fighter.

I don't know how powerful Jermaine, is but Jermaine's jab and speed would have bothered Bernard.

Jermain's reliance on that jab was one of the reasons he was hurt by Hopkins in that first fight, I believe in was either round 10 or 11, Hopkins timed that jab perfectly ,slipped it,and before Taylor retracted the jab Hopkins feet were already in mid air about to be perfectly placed to throw the straight right hand, which landed flush

That was a great shot.

Yeah you know id Bhop had not worried about self presevation in the early part of that fight he'd have won by UD no probs! Taylers good but I like Wright

Our lads got his opinions about this fight! so when he wakes up ( hung over ) he can put somr dollar on with ya

[Abe Attell]

I wonder if the extra weight helped boost Bernard's confidence a bit:
think about it, at 160, trying to make the weight for so many years, your body can feel depleted, causing your stamina to suffer; moving up to 175, though the extra weight can hurt your stamina, it could of done the opposite for the 41 year old fighter, making him feel more fresh/alive.

For Taylor hurting Bernard, I doubt it...I don't think Taylor hits as hard as Echols, and Echols landed some hard, flush shots right on Bernards chin, not to mention that Bernard was able to take Roy Jones Jr. punches, and I bet Roy's punches are harder than Taylor's.
