Nard is the king of getting away with fouls (and the way I see it is you better keep up with him instead of complaining).
What's your favorite move?
I think mine is slip under the jab to his right and come back with a headbutt moving in. If the butt doesnt land the shove still keeps the other guy off balance. You can see it a few times in one of the Echols fight if i remember correctly.
My honorable mention goes to his ability ot hit on the other side of the ref during clinch.
When he was hitting Joppy low, and Joppy responds with a low blow, then Hopkins makes an act of it, and Joppy gets warned by the ref.
:rofl:
i was a bit disapointed with Hopkins there he always makes a point of saying you hit me low or foul me or you wanna take into the alley i want cry or moan to the referee etc but against Joppy he was moaning to the referee
that was an UUUUGLY fight by the way i recommend anyone not to watch that fight it was absolute dribble
Definitely punching the dude's leg on the other side of the ref... I can't imagine how many people's legs have cramped up in their fights with Hopkins because of that.
That was especially helpful when he was the cold-blooded killer Executioner in his early days, because then they were just a sitting duck for the serial killer.
I always liked how he would hit his opponents low in the clinches without the referee seeing, frustrates and hurts his opponents, then when his opponents try to do it back at him, they get caught doing it and get warned.
When he ducks his head down when fighters are coming in on him & head butts them

i like all of hopkins dirty moves, i think it's a thing of beauty really, it messes with the opponents mentality, gets them off their game, wears them out, makes them make hasty decision, i like how he works them into normal movements and defense.
but one that hasnt been mentioned and i really haven't seen him do it too much lately either, but the his chin being pushed down into the neck or in between the shoulder blades during the clinch. just one of those things to constantly make things a pain in the ass.
but hopkins bag of tricks is huge, i also remember one that he showed on tv in an interview how to miss with the jab and then catch the guy in the eye socket with the elbow, that is a brutal one.
the one where he grabs his oponent around the waist and moves around them and starts jamming the uppercut in mulitple times while he is holding them around the waist :lol1:
