Bernard Hopkins Media Workout and Interview

Bump. Good video. Hopkins looks in great shape as usual. His lateral movement looked good too. I'm really looking forward to this fight to see how things play out.

lets go bhop lets go

Like most american boxers, Hopkins is incredible articulate. Tarver and Mallanaggi are the same. It's funny that your criticizing people for the way they speak while spelling 3 out of 14 words incorrectly.

quintana did the sme thing when facing williams make sure you're in close and smother the punches, b-hop always has been very shrewd and very calculated. imo he'd make a great trainer when he quits the last chat we did with him back at Max one of the members asked him that and he said he really didnt have the patience for the new kids because he questions their discipline to the game. That's part of the reason why he got into the promotion side of things

B-Hop looks like a black version of Hollywood Hogan from nWo lol...but anyways, I agree with silencer that Hopkins may look mediocre for the media just to play off the underdog real well..

I'd be worried if I was a Hopkins fan, he didn't look good at all here.

What's he talking about "1000 punches per round"? Nobody throws that much, it's fucking impossible. Does he not realize it's 1000 punches over the whole course of a fight? There's a slight difference between 1000 punches per round and an average of 83.

Bump, for any people who have not seen this yet.

its the subtle things that he does that make up for any speed issues that he may have, and its not like the man is Librado slow. His footwork is impeccable, the way he maneuvers his hands after he punches you know he is playing the fight in his head, he is smarter than just about every fighter out there period. If you notice he is closing the gap quickly my guess in order to smother Joe from volume punching. He is also looking to counter Joe's jab which can be lazy at times. the man knows what he is doing and knows how to beat Joe. I saw that too, the way he was punching the pads then quickly stepping in to nulify the workrate from Joe. As it gets closer i am giving Bernard more of a chance of winning. When i first heard the fight i said Joe UD, now though i am thinking it'll be closer. I look forward to it as i am a fan of both men, they are both IMO, two of the best champions of their generations. I know what he was trying to do, he just didn't look very sharp to me. Thanks for posting the vids, I think he looked good.
