Really?

Totally TOTALLY disagree here. Hopkins did less in the rematch & Taylor did more...I will go to me grave feeling that Hopkins won the first fight. He landed more & he was the more effective & he punished Taylor down the stretch.

None of that happened in the second fight & Taylor seemed more focused down the stretch.

Pavlik's got the advantage because he's a pusher with power & he's got the moxy to wear Taylor's a** down. Taylor just doesn't have the confidence anymore that he used to have.

He's fucked...unless he boxes like he used to...unless he uses his head.

Agreed...but I still want him to hammer him out right at the end.

I haven't watched the fight in ages but i remember Hopkins starting a bit quicker than he had done in the first meeting they shared alot of rounds i thought it was very close Taylor did look more focused down the stretch i agree but i didn't really feel he done much better bro.

Yep i agree i think the jab was the key in first fight Pavlik's jab was like a power shot it was rocking Taylor's head back all the time do you see Taylor boxing more cautious fight in the rematch ??

Agreed...but I still want him to hammer him out right at the end.

Wouldn't we all Wacko
