before i start let me tell you all that i hate oscar and always have-so this is from the point of view of someone that is not a fan (i have stated many times why i was not a fan and wont do it again)

-first of it didnt live up to hype..but i got a dlh that was in better shape and carried fight for first 4 rounds..then after that he started fading a little and hopkins started figuring him out more..getting in on him more to finally land that body shot(i mean how amzing..the way to ko dlh was never the chin it was the body-its like finding out who the killer in scream was for the first time)...now this bring me to the point...i respected dlh so much after the first 4 rounds that he even made me worried that he was gonna win...no thats impressive

i mean dlh held is own..hopkins unitl late started dominating..it was great to see oscar with that heart and will and respect the man so much...so now that i have paid my respect lets me go to point 2

when oscar fell larry-jim lampley and all the other where quite..they saw the man that was what hbo charishes and loves, fall...and they were into it but quite right after...if it would have been oscar who dropped hopkins..larry and jim would have cummed on themselfs with excitment..and so when hopkins dropped dlh it made dlh to all the nuthugger-fans (there a differnce trust me between a fan and a nuthugger)-and people who respected him...look like just another normal fighter...for the first time dlh looked normal and it was almost sad to see him on the floor like that..but either way a lot of respect to both fighters

loved:hearing nothin from jim and larry and the rest of the hbo crew quite after the ko.../

respect:to both men

sad:dlh on the floor in pain

great:to see hopkins but the exclamation point on his legacy

hated:the price of the fight

waiting:for MAYORGA vs TRINIDAD

Well said - are u going to risk throwing more money on the Trinidad-Mayorga tho?
I'll just wait a day after when we can download it with BitTorrent.
Peace

yeah true cuz someone might get ko'ed really fast...but i dont care i wanna see it live....thursday i think is the booker.toney fight then on saturday jones returns...great fights coming up

Damn me having to work on thursday, Blast that damn toy store with a shotgun I say blast it! All to hell!

lol...does booker even have a shot??? i never seen him fight

Great fight, great result, great for boxing - about time we hada good super fight with a nice definitive ending!

i wonder how it felt to a true dlh fan seeing him get turned into just a "normal fighter" when he went down?

speaking of the HBO crew, What fight was Larry Merchant watching? How in the **** did have Oscar ahead in this fight?

Because Oscar is HBO's "boy"?

just what i was going to say exactly ..dlh is hbo's boy..that there money pot right there...do u think larry even likes hopkins after hopkins talked **** almost to his face remember when larry said a while back "well hopkins tonight you got paid a lot to do not much" and hop said "well larry you get paid every night to do not much"

something along dose lines lol thats was great...but yeah no one at hbo wanted to see hopkins win and it felt good to know thats why everyone was quite..this stung more then there other boy (roy jones) getting ko'ed..and cuz of that i am happy...

The punch thrown/landed rate lulled Compustat operators to sleep. The little work that Jim and Larry did was to toil to make their boy, Oscar, look good! Oh, ok, I take that back. Larry and Jim worked hard at it. Tough job, that HBO gig. :rolleyes:

Reply to Shawny -

He ( Larry Merchant )had Oscar ahead because IMO he was WINNING THE FIGHT!!! I had him ahead by 4. Thos judges who had Bernard ahead by so many points should be investigated.

actually the fight was close...from the 5th round on up (dlh maybe he faded OR read that article of benard hopkins i posted on thread) hopkins was landing more..was getting in on dlh and everything...hopkins took dlh confidence so quickly...i mean if after this ur not giving benard hopkins his props there something wrong..scorecards or no scorecards..dlh was on the canvas in the 9th no hopkins
