Hopkins vs Taylor
This is for the undisputed middleweight title...
I'm picking Hopkins by decision, just as I picked the first time. Hopkins is by far the superior boxer. Jermaine Taylor said in the press conference that "I'm the champ, so I don't have to chase Bernard around like last time"... Taylor's workrate was what won him the decision in the first fight, wether he deserved it or not is a whole different story.
That, and Bernard said that he's going to come out more aggressive and knock him out. I doubt that he has the punch to knock out JT but the workrate factor is what's going to win this fight.
Bernard's constant complaining about the judges last time around will work in his favor too. I'm hoping that this wont turn into Holmes/Spinks II.
