    Bernard Hopkins vs Jermain Taylor will take place on Saturday night on PPV. I think that Hopkins will taste defeat for the first time since he fought Roy Jones in 1993.
    I think Taylor is just too fast and too strong for an aging Hopkins . Taylor by unanimous decision

    I wouldnt be shocked if Hopkins won by decision but age eventually catches up to everyone and Hopkins is 40 years old so he may not be the same fighter he was since his last fight.

    My major concern is being able to pay for this fight. You live in NYC right oceolo? I might have to come over your house and watch it.

    Wow, there has been no activity in this thread...I think I scared Oceolo away by suggesting I was going to come over to his place. LOL! Don't worry Oceolo, I was just kidding! Here are some pics of the weigh in for Hopkins-Taylor if anyone is interested:
