Jermain Taylor's confidence levels are up after watching Bernard Hopkins dismantle Antonio Tarver last weekend...and that's a good thing. Taylor faces a tough challenge in Winky Wright this Saturday night on HBO. Jermain Taylor vs. Winky Wright will be seen live from the FedEx Forum in Memphis on Saturday, June 17 (9:30 p.m. ET/6:30 p.m. PT).
In regards to what Taylor felt about Hopkins recent victory, Taylor was pretty much in awe of the stunning victory.
Quoted in the Boston Globe Taylor remarked about Hopkin's win, ``He destroyed Tarver."
Taylor added to The Boston Globe: ``He didn't do Jermain like that. What they say is true about winning a championship. They say it makes you a 25 percent better fighter. Just the fact of knowing you're No. 1 gives you that extra confidence."
