u cant see it that well in this vid but during when the decision is being announced his team gets in a circle around hopkins and one of the guys puts his hand up to block the camera and someone puts something in hopkins mouth. does anyone know what that was. if u downloaded the fight u can see it alot better.
Good catch! "IT'S OFFICIAL, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT YOU SAW PUT IN HIS JAW!...... What you saw was his corner man taking out his mouth piece and then replacing it with a false upper teeth rack. Shortly after they went ahead and got the lower teeth rack in. Listen, Hopkins is from the old school of hard knocks. Philly gyms are known to have some of the best battles. In this sport teeth get knocked out! You will notice when he starts talking he still has a gap between the upper teeth. That's how good the racks work. They didn't over do it. They kept a natural appearence. The old school fight fans can recall bernard having a major snaggle tooth issue. Many teeth were missing early in his career. I understand why he does it and don't see a problem with it. He's been around long enough to know those close up interviews are shown across the world. He is also in the promotions managment end of this sport. It's part of his transition being a corperate CO. I would do the same.
So he actually goes to the dentists? Why have a spare tooth insert, yet still have a missing tooth in the most obvious spot. Doesn't make sense, guy needs a bridge/crown.

i think they were swallowing the weed dude
I didnt see the bit you are on about but it was probably a tooth. Hamed was the same. he had a false front tooth. they used to try and block the cam when putting it back in.
I don't think the guy blocked the camera. His hand jus got in the way. I aint kno wat it was. Something white.
a breath mint.....you can't be talkin to Larry Merchant with bad breath:lol1:
