No more bullshat...after seeing Countdown to Tarver Hopkins...whaddaya think?
Everyone knows Hopkins is my all time favorite...so I gotta ask:
No more bullshat...after seeing Countdown to Tarver Hopkins...whaddaya think?
Hopkins looks big & he sounds determined...but can he do it?
Ofcourse I'd be biased if I said that I know he'll win...which in all truthitude...I don't know...but I want him to win...
but can he?
After seeing the Countdown...what do you think?
Re: No more bullshat...after seeing Countdown to Tarver Hopkins...whaddaya think?
Hopkins look more hungrier,motivated and he look big and in shape like always,IMO hopkins UD and going in the books like great champ and legend. Go B-HOP :)
Re: No more bullshat...after seeing Countdown to Tarver Hopkins...whaddaya think?
I was expecting Hopkins training scenes reminiscent of the movie Kickboxer.
Re: No more bullshat...after seeing Countdown to Tarver Hopkins...whaddaya think?
Seriously...I would love some serious thoughts on this matter people.
I hate the thoughts of Tarver beating my man...I mean...he already beat Jones Jr 3 times...yep 3 times...& that's distrubing enough...but I really don't want to see him KO the Nard...which I doubt...but beatin him is bad enough also.
Again...thoughts?
Re: No more bullshat...after seeing Countdown to Tarver Hopkins...whaddaya think
I'm an X fan nowadays.
:thumb:
I feel like I 'get' him now, whereas I just took offense to his goofiness before. ;D
Besides, I hate Tarver & his skinny arms.
Re: No more bullshat...after seeing Countdown to Tarver Hopkins...whaddaya think?
ive not seen the coutdown, this is a difficult fight for me because i dont want hopkins to go out on a loss, but at the same time im aware of the magnitude of the task at hand...
hopkins is gonna be 41. 41 for christsakes!!???! for a 41 year old pro fighter though you couldnt see anyone as in good a condition as hopkins.
hopkins is jumping up 2 divisions which is a lot and to be doing it against tarver is very risky. we dont know if hopkins will be ready for the power tarver can offer. heck, hopkins didnt want to be hit by taylor, so who knows how he will respond to the impact tarvers punching can make.
at the end of the day i will be supporting b hop because he's a fighter ive loved down the years. its a difficult fight but hopkins can win it. tarver himself is getting old and tarver hasnt been fighting all that regularly. jones jr last time out took tarver to the distance and even had tarver in trouble at one point in the fight. jones was a gun shy and past his best fighter that night. tarver cannot sustain a pace for 12 rounds. he does have stamina issues. so in terms of conditioning, even at the age of 41 hopkins has the edge. we mustnt forget that tarver also allowed himself to balloon to over 200 pounds for rocky 6. will having to come back down in a relatively short space of time be a detriment to tarver? possibly.
of course, hopkins himself cannot maintain a fast pace over 12 rounds. it took him several rounds to warm up both times against taylor. but by being slow on the draw he was able to make taylor pursue him and throw and miss. if b hop can do this for several rounds with tarver then tarver will definately tire. we all know that hopkins likes to make the championship rounds count. this is the crux of the fight for me. will hopkins be able to come on as he wishes without taking too much punishment from tarver? i think maybe he can....
a close and tricky fight, but hopkins can edge this....

My thoughts are to stop bein an idiot about the Jones fight Wacko. NO WAY IN HELL ROY JONES LOST THE FIRST FIGHT. I see B-hop winnin a UD as well. He is a smarter, better fighter than Tarver, and big mouth always fades in the championship rounds, thats why he lost the first fight with Jones.

Sometimes a guy has another guy's #, right?
Forrest has Mosley's.
And the stupid Tarver has RJjr's.
Even though I hate both facts. >:mad
Re: No more bullshat...after seeing Countdown to Tarver Hopkins...whaddaya think?
That means that Tarver would have trouble with any other style that's not Roy Jones Jr's.

Being a fan of the man...I'm comfy as fwock dealing with the fact that Tarver has Jones's number...he does...he always will.
I know it's hard for you to understand that...no...NO it shouldn't be...talk about being an idiot...you still think that fruitcake Mayorga's championship material. :-*

Take refuge in the fact taht Jones won da first fight, was gettin older and in his prime woulda mopped da floor with big mouth ass hole Tarver, and that Mayorga has got Forrest's number.
