I don't know what would be more dangerous, being in the ring, or trying to get to and from the Cobo Arena in Detroit.

Preview:

Undisputed middleweight champion Bernard Hopkins will face undefeated middleweight heir apparent Jermain Taylor in a fight being billed as “NeXt in Line” from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

For Hopkins, Taylor is just next—next in a long line of pugilist who have tried and failed to upset his throne.
The young Taylor views it differently. “Yes I am next,” said Taylor. “The next middleweight champion of the world.”

Bernard Hopkins (46-2-1, 32 KOs) is already assured a place in the Boxing Hall of Fame thanks to his ten-year reign atop the middleweight division and his amazing record. An old-school warrior who is the epitome of a Philadelphia fighter, the 40-year-old “Executioner” is one of the rare fighters who just gets better and better with age. In his last bout, on February 19, Hopkins scored a dominating 12 round decision win over highly ranked British contender Howard Eastman. Hopkins, who has publicly stated he will retire upon his 41st birthday next January is ready for a hectic career finale that begins with Taylor.

Jermain “Bad Intentions” Taylor (23-0, 17 KOs) is a 2000 US Olympic Bronze Medalist who has carried that success with him into the professional ranks. A versatile boxer with a stiff jab and thudding power, the 26-year-old resident of Little Rock, Arkansas has defeated former world champion William Joppy. His defeat over Raul "El Diamante" Marquez at the Home Depot Center in Carson City and his spectacular victory over previously unbeaten Daniel Edouard at the Staples Center in Los Angeles last February made him the most logical contender for Hopkins WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO titles.

“Bernard Hopkins is a great champion and I have a lot of respect for him,” said Taylor. “But I will not respect him once the bell rings. I have waited for this moment for my entire life, and I won’t be denied on July 16. If Bernard won’t pass the torch, I’ll just take it from him.”

I don't know.............. Taylor is a TOUGH DUDE and has a punshing left jab. Most of your top fighters have a good left jab. Larry Holmes comes to mind. You can keep a guy away with it and make them fight a different fight. I don't remember Hopkins every fighting a guy with a good left jab. Just for Shits and Giggles, I think I'll put a Ben Franklin or two on Taylor. I know it sounds DUMB, butt, then again I usually don't bet with my heart, I bet on instinct and history.........
Tell you what, I'll take Taylor with you. If we every meet up, the loser has to buy dinner and drinks............. (keep in mind, I'm NOT a cheap date

)

I'll be at the fight. So, if you're in the area, stop on by.

Taylor in 12.....................

I thought the fight was more one sided than the judges. I would have given Taylor the fight, not a split.

O.K. Vettklr, I'm starting to get hungry
