This Saturday Bernard Hopkins and Jermain Taylor will square off in a rematch slated for around 10:30 p.m. EST on HBO. Shown below are the odds and some props from Olympic. Any boxing fans out there with opinions on how this match might play out? Sorry, the yellow doesn't print out so good.

OMT:

I normally live in Orange County (another nice place) but I've been doing some consulting in San Diego for the last couple months so I'm staying in Del Mar.

As you know, being from the Bay Area, it is rather expensive to live here. Home prices average above $600k. Traffic is getting worse as well. I'm lucky since I'm staying 15 minutes from where I work and my company is paying for my lodging.

Other than that it is very nice living here. La Jolla is another nice place nearby. The beach is just a few miles away.

One more word of warning, it gets into the 40's at nights. Brrrrrr!!

I'm going to see how expensive the cheap seats are, and I plan on going. I've never been to a fight, and this should be a good one. I don't know much about Taylor, but Hopkins is on Jim Rome's radio show all the time, and he is a very interesting character. Has a great sense of humor, and can't help but like the guy even though he's cocky.

Enjoy the fight. As for betting, I use a fairly common principle. When a fighter has aged and is beyond his prime, like Hopkins who is 40, I will always lean to the fighter who is younger and in his prime and often undefeated or has beaten his opponent already. Doesn't always work, of course, but it does many more times then loses and at the current price, although some value is disappearing, the principle still applies.

HOPKINS by KO

His Trainer Brother Nazim, is the air apparent to his ex trainer Boiue Fisher. I think the sharp money went to Taylor when everyone heard the news of the trainers. This is actually an advantage to Hopkins. Br. Nazim and Fisher had worked together with X for 11 years. Fisher already laid out the plan, Br. Nazim will work on KO power and follow the plan.

You heard it here first

Hopkins by KO!!
