My favorite part of that fight, if memory serves:
The ref breaks them and echols nails B-Hop flush with a cheap shot and Hopkins just winds up and drills him straight back to the chin. The look on both of their faces, and the ref thinking "Oh shit, what kinda' match did I agree to ref" is classic.
In that fight hopkins showed how "great" of a champion he was by illegally hitting echols, and triping him. That fight reminds me why Hopkins was never a PPV champion.
i believe they call that "fighting fire with fire". that fight reminds me why Hopkins got the chance to dominate Tito.
Those two must hated the fuck out each other. That was a combination of boxing and a wwe wrestiling match.
Hopkins always considered Echols one of his hardest opponents ever. He actually had a lot of respect for him. Still that was almost a damn street fight
That fight was hilarious, a far cry from their first fight where they both put on a good scrap. This was just garbage fighting to the fullest. It was almost like Echols didn't want to be there the way he dumped Hopkins on his shoulder and fell out of the ring from less than superb punches from Hopkins.

That's just a well rounded fighter, you use every tool you're given in the ring, & some that you have to sneek in. :D

yeah that was ridiculous, i think hopkins exaggerated that judo move by echols lol.
That damn back of the head shot by Hopkins was pretty damn crazy.
