Myron, Bouie Fisher always gives Hopkins calm, actionable advice that, when Hopkins carries it out, works to perfection. The advice he gave to Hopkins right before he went out for the 10th round like "all combinations inside", "you got to close big", "double shots and we're home" and right before Hopkins leaves the stool, "good jab", told Hopkins all he needed to know. Hopkins then went out and put 3 or 4 good hard jabs on Taylor and started closing big with double shots. Fisher has a magical understanding of the hard game of boxing and communicates to Hopkins in ways they both understand. I'm with you, Myron. Hopkins would have KO'd Taylor if the fight was a 15 rounder. Hopkins did make the mistake of fighting at a 15 round pace in a 12 round fight. Hopkins will not make that mistake again but he will have to be willing take take a bit more punishment because Taylor proved he is a worthy opponent, particularly in the first half of the fight. In the rematch Hopkins needs to take more risk earlier in the fight if he wants to win it later. Bruce
