Does anyone think Hopkins will beat Tarver?

You know, I like the sound of a split decision. But I still think Hopkins will get it.

And then he'll call out RJJ for "one last fight".

Man B-hop needs to retire he has been saying that for a year now, and he was supposed to have already been retired this January. also dont forget he broke his promise he made to his mother, and that was he would not fight past his 41st b-day.

Exactly. And he broke that promise twice now. And if he wins, I guarentee he'll try to lure RJJ out for "one last fight".

Hopkins will counter Tarver, all night long. I think the big punches in this fight will be Hopkins right hand more than anything.
Oh he's gonna make Tarver pay.

i really doubt b hop will continue beyond this fight, even if he wins and he can win....

a strange tough fight, but remember how wily old b hop is, very elusive and difficult to hit clean...

he will frustrate tarver and though b hop isnt as active over 12 rounds as he once was tarver himself has stamina issues....

i can really see b hop coming on strong in the final 5 rounds....could well be just enough to clinch it...

Go, Go B Hop, one last hurrah!!!!!!!
